The Mousehole Cat (crazy and alternative ending)

On  the way back home, Tom and Mowzer were sitting calmly on the edge of the boat. The wind had pushed them further out into the sea, and luckily found an island with fruit. They had loaded the boat to the limit and Mowzer slept downstairs on a pile of warm blankets. At night, Tom kept sailing and was extremely tired from all those nights they had spent on the boat.Until one night the storm kicked in again, and Mowzer refused to go to sleep. Suddenly, Tom slipped and fell head first into the water, Mowzer howling as if she were in pain.

The Storm Cat felt extremely sorry for Mowzer. He couldn’t stand the sight of Mowzer crying, plus he could’ve sworn that he saw Mowzer shed a great, big tear. So one day, The Storm Cat came up with an idea. He was going to try and make friends with Mowzer. When he finally found her he started the conversation. At first Mowzer refused, but then she realised that it could be her only hope of finding Tom. So she accepted. The storm Cat was delighted as this was his first ever friend.”Wow, what a kind cat she is,” thought the Storm Cat. Mowzer asked if he could push her along on the boat to find Tom. He said yes.

They traveled for many days and nights and they still didn’t find him. Mowzer was starting to lose hope now. Luckily, the Storm Cat encouraged Mowzer to carry on.  Mowzer used up all her hope to find Tom.She wanted this more than anything else;the feast, the return home, the comfy sofa, the warm fire and the welcoming windows.

Tom lay there sulking, without any food under a small palm tree on an island. He looked and saw an illusion of the boat with Mowzer and the Storm Cat. Or was it an illusion? As the boat got closer  Tom started to pick up hope. As the boat reached the island, Tom sprang to his feet and Mowzer leaped into his arms. They had never been so happy in their lives.

When the Storm Cat was ready, they set off and settled in for their catch.

THE END!
