Sam had a bad day. It was damp and sad. A cat ran fast past Sam. Sam sat, then saw a rat. The rat was big and fat. It ran at Sam. Sam was mad! He had a bag. He got the bag and ran. The rat ran too! Sam fell flat. A man saw Sam. The man had a van. He said, “Sam, get in!” Sam sat in the van. The rat was gone. Sam was glad. The man gave Sam jam. Sam had jam and sang. It was a sad day, but Sam had a glad end.
