Lost Kitten

I went to see Stacy's new orange kitten.  As I played with the kitten by tickling her soft warm belly, she bit my hand gently.  Then, I noticed an area of the carpet that had been cut in the shape of a square, as if with a razor blade.  I lifted up the cut-out flap in the carpet and saw stars twinkling in the night sky, far, far below.  To my dismay, the kitten pounced into the air, landing in the hole and tumbling further away until she disappeared into the inky darkness.  "What will I tell Stacy?"  I wondered.
