Kip walked along the sidewalk.
"Goose is Bird's friend," he said.
"She's not my friend.
She's too big and too loud."
Just then Kip saw something.
A cat was sitting on a window ledge.
"Meow!" said the cat.
"Oh no!" cried Kip.
Kip started to run.
The cat jumped after him.
Kip ran as fast as he could.
So did the cat.
"Ah!" cried Kip.
Suddenly Bird and Goose flew over to Kip.
"There you are!" said Bird.
Goose landed in front of the cat.
"Honk! Honk! Honk!" cried Goose.
The cat got scared and ran away.
"You saved me, Goose!" said Kip.
"Thank you!"
"Honk! You're Bird's friend," said Goose.
"So you're my friend too."
Kip was happy to have two good friends.
"I like Goose," he thought.
"It's good to have a big, loud friend!"
