It hid behind a big tree and then crawled forward through the tall grass 　27 　it could almost hear them talk. 　28 　the mother rat and her babies knew 　29 　had happened, the cat 　30 　from its hiding-place and started to run 　31 them.

　　 The mother rat and her babies all fled right away. They hurried towards 　32 　home, which was under a pile of large stones. 　33 　the baby rats were 　34 　frightened that they could not run very 　35 　. Closer and closer the cat came. In no time the cat would be near. What was to be done ?

　　 The mother rat stopped running suddenly, 　36 　round and faced the cat, 　37 　“Bow! Wow! Bowwow !” just like 　38 　angry dog. The cat was so surprised and frightened that it ran away.
