Original Prompt

The Clever Cat and the Sneaky Rats In a quiet old barn at the edge of the village lived a cat named Milo. Milo was soft, orange, and loved to nap all day. But every night, a group of sneaky rats would come out to steal food from the farmer’s sacks. The leader of the rats, Ricky, was clever. He told his friends, “We must move fast and quiet, or that lazy cat will catch us!” But Milo wasn’t as lazy as they thought. One night, he pretended to be asleep, his tail gently twitching. The rats tiptoed in — one, two, three… Just as they reached the grain bag, SWOOSH! Milo leapt out and blocked the door.
