Once, when I was six, we had a well from which our poor neighbors would get their water. The well’s water was deep and crystal clear. It so happened that our well for that day was full of fish. There had been a flood, and when it subsided, the fish remained trapped in it.
Once, we had a cat that my mother called “Cathy.” One day, Cathy was hungry.
So I asked the cat, are you hungry?

I nodded sagaciously; that probably meant, Yes! Yes!
I smiled at the cat; and patted her furry head.
Then I shoved the cat into the well.
I heard a deep splash.
She shrieked, “Meowrrr!”
I assumed it meant, “Thanks!” So I shouted into the well, “You’re welcome!”
I’m not sure if Cathy enjoyed the fish; I never saw her again.
