...opened up the lid on the big wooden kidney-
shaped piece of furniture that had been sitting in
the living room, all these years. Under the lid were
lots of white and black rectangulish-shaped onjects
and when his Meowmie's friend pushed a few of them
down at the same time...

the kitties heard some wonderful music filling the room.
"What kind of music is that?" purred the kitties to each
other. "We should try to make our own music when the
hoomans leave the room later this evening. We can walk
on those black and white keys together. Won't it be fun
to let the hoomans hear how we can play," giggled one of
the kitties. Later that evening when the grandfather
clock chimed twelve, the kitties raced to the big music

To which Jethro replied...

..."Can mew name this tune?" Then Jethro began to play
a rollicking ragtime that his Meowmie had never heard
before. His sisters and brothers came out of hiding
and began to dance around the piano. Jethro's Meowmie
couldn't believe her eyes and ears! She was so
captivated by Jethro's music and the dancing kitties
that she completely forgot...

That it was after midnight and she had guests sleeping
in the upstairs bedrooms. "Oh, my," she said. "You
kitties will have to stop all of this playing and
dancing right now before you wake up our company."
All of a sudden, several pairs of footsteps were heard
coming down the stairs...
