There was a little boy who came running down the street, scared out of his wits. Grandpa was sitting on the porch and saw the poor lad. The boy came racing up to him, arms flailing, hopping from foot to foot.
Grandpa put his hands on the boy's shoulders and said: "Easy young fella, tell me what's the matter."
The boy continued to hop, didn't say anything, just pointed to his shoes. "I can't help ya if'n you don't tell me what's wrong." said Grandpa.
Then he looked down and saw a furry feline securely chomped on to each of the boy's sneakers. Grandpa nodded his head knowingly.
"I see..." Grandpa said, "....cats got your tongue."
