First, she narrates about different between human and a cat. A cat has long tail and four legs and we have two legs. But we have no fur. Besides, we can't run and jump like a cat. It is different part of between human and a cat. But, we are living and need an energy to live so it is same. All living things need an energy. For example, they are foods, water and air. They are necessary for our life. If they aren't in our life, we can't live and grow up. But, not living thing doesn't need an energy to live because they are not living so they don't need foods and water and air. This story was wide scale for children books. So I was surprised when I read this book first time. Besides, this book is not story so to speak, this book is narrated by one girl so I read such an English book first time. This story was very simple reading for me. So it was good for me. If you haven't read this book, please read this book♪(222words)
