On night two dogs were trying to barge open the kitchen door, hoping to get in and steal some food. But the door was too heavy and so they couldn’t open it.
“I know” said one dog, “Let’s ask the cat to help.”
“What good will that do?” asked the other.
“Well I think we’ll be able to manage it, if Puss comes to shove.”
