At home, the phone rang. It was Pearl, the woman who helped Will change the tire. She invited him over to see her garden. Will was pleased to have a new friend in the neighborhood. Will brought Sparkles with him.
“You have such a beautiful cat,’ she said. “Some people think black cats bring bad luck, but you know that’s not true.”
“But it is!” Will said. “Ever since I got Sparkles I have had bad luck.”
Pearl said, “Maybe it isn’t bad luck.”
Will admitted, “I am sometimes clumsy."
Then Will realized that he shouldn’t be superstitious.
From then on, Will let Sparkles sit on his lap and purr by the fire. Will was no longer afraid of bad luck and brought Sparkles everywhere with him. |
