Kitty had a little red ball. She loved to bat it across the floor. But one day, the ball was gone!
Kitty looked under the table. No ball. Kitty looked behind the chair. No ball. Kitty looked inside her basket. No ball.
Then Kitty heard a small sound. Roll, roll, roll. The ball had rolled under the sofa all by itself!
Kitty reached with her little paw and pulled the ball out. "Found it!" She batted it happily across the floor, round and round, until she was tired and curled up for a nap.
