Word Power Lee’s cat had kittens. I wanted one more than anything. “If only I could have a kitten!” I said. Lee said, “You should ask your mom.” I said, “I know! I will write her a letter.” She said I could have two! I picked a white kitten and also a black one. Those kittens moved into my room with me!
