Once there was a cat. His name was Fluffy.

It was a warm summer day.

Fluffy was sitting on a huge tree, and watching the fleecy clouds. He loved trying to guess what the clouds resemble. That was his favourite hobby.

So sun was shining so brightly. As Fluffy was sitting on a tree he thought: "What a nice day! It would be a shame to waste all the time sitting here. I'd rather go for a walk and visit my favourite place".

And he did so. He climbed down and set off.

On his way he met Bunny, the rabbit. She was making carrot-jam. That was her favourite hobby.

"Hello", Bunny said, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see the sky and the sea unite and burst into flames", Fluffy answered.

"Oh, I've never seen anything like that before. Can I go with you?"

"Of course. You may."

So on they went.

On the way they met Teddy, the bear. He was picking flowers. That was his favourite hobby.

"Hello, there", Teddy said, "Where are you going?"

"We are going to see the sky and the sea unite and burst into flames!"

"Oh, I've never seen anything like this before. Can I go with you?"

"Of course. You may."

So on they went.

On the way they met Lupsy, the fox. He was chasing butterflies. That was his favourite hobby.

"Hello", Lupsy said, "Where are you going?

We are going to see the sky and the sea unite and burst into flames!"

"Oh, I've never seen anything like this before. Can I go with you?"

"Of course. You may."

So on they went.

On the way they met Peggy, the sheep. She was lying in the grass and listening to the birds' songs. That was her favourite hobby.

"Hi! Where are you going?" Peggy asked.

We are going to see the sky and the sea unite and burst into flames!"

"Oh, I've never seen anything like this before. Can I go with you?"

"Of course. You may."

So on they went.

They climbed up the hills...

...and came down from the hills...

... they crossed a brook....

.... they passed the apple orchard...

.... they flowery field...

... and the sky-high pine trees.

It was late afternoon when they reached the seaside. The sun was just about to go down. The sea was blue just like the sky.

"Here we are", Fluffy said.

The others were displeased.

"That's all?"

"Nothing seems to be unusual."

"Where's the magic?"

"Keep calm. Wait for the sunset", Fluffy whispered.

And just as Fluffy said, the yellow sun slowly turned into orange, and then slowly into a blazing red.

Its shine painted the sky and the sea over. Suddenly the horizon between the sky and the sea disappeared and they seemed to be on fire.

They all stood there gaping. It was much nicer than they could imagine. It was the most beautiful thing they have ever seen in their lives.
