One day Mr. Ness was in the classroom. A cat walked into the room. “Hello, Mr. Ness," said the cat, ‘ Mr. Ness looked at the cat. He was surprised. "Who are you?" asked Mr. Ness. ‘I am Dan," said the cat. "You can't be Dan. Dan is a boy," said Mr. Ness. “But Lam Dan,” said the cat. “I just know how to turn myself into all kinds of animals." “Well then prove it and turn into a lion." Ness. Poof! Dan was a lion. “Don't zat me," said Mr. Ness when the lion looked at him.

“I am not going to eat you," said Dan the lion with a laugh. Poof! Dan was a cat again. “What do you do when you are a cat?" asked Mr. Ness. “I do all kinds of things,” said Dan. "I like to go fishing. Fish are fun to catch," “Sometimes I climb up in trees." ~ “How do you get down?” asked Mr. Ness. “Most of the time I just jump," said the cat. “One time a fire fighter came and got me down." "I also like to play with string when I am a cat,” said Dan. "I sometimes even like to drink milk."

“One time I was a space cat," he said. “I went out into space. After that I got a lot of mail.” “T read my mail everyday," said the cat. “I even got a letter from President Bush." “I am glad you like being a cat,” said Mr. Ness. “It is a lot of fun,” said Dan. Poof! Dan was a boy again. He liked being a cat and liked being a boy.
