Moustache the cat loves playing hide-and-seek. It is his favourite game, even better than napping. “Count to three!” he tells Lila. One... two... three.
Moustache has vanished! Well, almost.
Behind the curtain there is a little striped tail sticking out. It wiggles a bit, left, then right. Peekaboo, little cat! Moustache finds a new hiding placeThe secret spot where you hide so nobody can find you.. He slips into the laundry basketA container with handles, used for laundry or for carrying things., under a towel. Very clever.
But the striped tail is still sticking out. It wiggles and wiggles. Peekaboo, little cat!
Moustache tries under the table, between the chairs, right at the back. The tail sticks out anyway. He tries behind the big green plant, holding very still and not breathing at all. The tail sticks out anyway.
He tries inside the moving box, right at the bottom. The tail still sticks out, and now it is wagging happily too.
Every time, his tail says hello before he does. Moustache cannot understand why he is found so fast. “You are the champion of hiding placeThe secret spot where you hide so nobody can find you.s,” says Lila, tickling him under the chin. Moustache is very proud.
So he curls up on Lila's lap and starts to purrThe soft rumbling sound a cat makes when it is very happy.. Hiding is fun, but being found by someone who loves you is even better.
The end, sweet dreams.
