    Meaw, the cat, woke up early one morning and trotted into Sofie’s and Elon’s room. Elon, a five-year-old boy, was still fast asleep. Sofie, his older sister, was already awake, preparing for her first day at a new school. She decided to take Meaw with her and together, they left, leaving Elon still sleeping.

    When Sofie arrived at school, Ms. Lin, her new teacher, was waiting for her. She warmly greeted Sofie and introduced her to the class. Sofie took a seat next to Livie, a smart girl who quickly became her friend.

    One day, a strange sound began to emanate from Sofie’s bag. Livie, alert as always, instantly noticed it. She raised her hand and alerted Ms. Lin about the sound. The class held its breath as Ms. Lin opened Sofie's bag.

    To everyone’s surprise, out popped Meaw. Ms. Lin gasped, taken aback by the unexpected sight of a cat in Sofie's bag. Sofie had to explain that Meaw was her cat and that she often took him to school.

    After Sofie's explanation, Ms. Lin sent Sofie to the head teacher, Mr. Will. Mr. Will, a kind man, was sitting in his large chair when Sofie entered. After a brief discussion, he surprisingly allowed Sofie to bring Meaw to school.

    When Sofie returned home, she found Elon crying. Meaw quickly hopped out of the bag to comfort him. To their astonishment, Meaw asked Elon why he was crying. Neither Sofie nor Elon had ever heard Meaw speak before.

    The next day, Sofie couldn't find Meaw anywhere. She went to school feeling sad without her feline friend. Meanwhile, Meaw was wandering the empty streets, eventually finding a shelter to spend the night.

    To Sofie's joy, Meaw returned the following day. However, when she arrived at school, she was surprised to see Mr. Will standing in her classroom. Ms. Lin, she learned, could not make it to school that day.

    Suddenly, Meaw jumped out of Sofie's bag and voiced his concern about Sofie's parents not informing her about Ms. Lin's absence. The entire class gasped. Mr. Will was as surprised as the students to hear Meaw talk.

    At home, Sofie told Elon about the events at school. Elon was worried about the implications of Meaw's ability to talk being known. However, the next day at school, Sofie was surrounded by curious classmates, eager to talk to Meaw.
