Ali and Omar (1) were walking along the river one day when they heard a strange sound. "Look at that little cat," said Omar. A boy (2) was running after a cat in order to catch it and throw it into the water. The cat (3) was trying to run as fast as it could but was too weak because it had a broken leg. "No! Please, don't hurt the cat,” said Ali. He was sad because the boy (4) was chasing the little cat instead of helping it. When the boy saw how much Ali and Omar were upset, he realised that he (5) was doing something wrong. He felt so sorry for what he did and helped Ali and Omar to take care of the little cat.
