14-SILVER UNDER THE SUN

SILVER UNDER THE SUN once the Black Bandit had left, I ran back to our cell and leaned out the window. Down on the deck, the cats were racing around in circles, looking for us. Fur was flying everywhere! "I think we need a new plan," I said. "Anyone have any ideas?" "I have one!" Trap shrieked. "Let's go home!" "But how are we going to get there?" Thea squeaked. "We can't swim. My pawstroke is awful!"

Just then, Trap rested his paw on the mast. "yowee! This ship is as hot as a bed at the Fry Mouse Tanning Salon!" I stared at him, eyes wide open. "That's it!" I squeaked. "I know exactly how we're going to get rid of the cats!"
