One day, grumpy cat went outside because she wanted to be alone. But guess what? A happy butterfly came by to say hello!
The butterfly was very cheerful and said, “Hi, grumpy cat! Do you know what’s great about being outside?”
Grumpy cat didn’t care and said, “Nothing.”
Then, a cheerful ladybug came over and said, “Good morning, grumpy cat!”
Grumpy cat replied, “There’s no such thing.”
The butterfly asked, “Would you like to play with us?”
Grumpy cat didn’t want to play.
The ladybug said, “Come on, it will be fun!”
Grumpy cat said, “I had fun once, and it was awful.”
Then, a joyful bird joined them. Grumpy cat was surrounded by happy animals!
The bird said, “Grumpy cat, there must be something fun you would like to do! How about a race?”
