Hi!
2
Welcome to Storyline Online, brought to you by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.
3
I'm Haley Lou Richardson, and today I'm going to read That Cat Can't Stay,
4
written by Thad Krasniewski and illustrated by David Parkins.
5
When Mom brought home astray one day, Dad said, That creature cannot stay.
6
There's no use begging.
7
Don't say please.
8
I don't like cats.
9
They scratch my knees.
10
And I don't want to have to shout.
11
So kindly put, that cat thing out.
12
Mom said, I'll put him back outside.
13
I'm sure he'll find some place to hide.
14
away from all the rain and hail which just might drench him nose to tail.
15
I see you do not want this pet, though he might get completely wet.
16
Your mind's made up, dear, I can tell.
17
I'll put him out.
18
But Dad said, well...
19
The rain is coming down so hard, there's not a dry spot in the yard.
20
I guess the cat can stay in here until this rainstorm starts to clear.
21
But no one pet him.
22
Do not play.
23
My mind's made up.
24
That cat can't stay.
25
The day mom found a calico, dad said, that thing has got to go.
26
One cat was more than I could take.
27
Two cats would be a big mistake mistake.
28
There's no use begging.
29
Don't say please.
30
I don't like cats.
31
They scratch my knees.
32
They carry fleas.
33
They make me sneeze.
34
They're always getting stuck in trees.
35
I want it gone.
36
Vamoose!
37
Away!
38
I'm telling you, that cat can't stay.
39
All right, said Mom.
40
She's She's beautiful.
41
But you're quite right, our house is full.
42
I'll put her back out on the street She'll have to scrounge for things to eat, but she'll survive.
43
Yes, I can tell I'll put her out
44
But dad said well We'll feed her for a day or two But after that I'm warning you
45
When she has gained a little weight she's out of here.
46
There's no debate We cannot keep another stray.
47
You mark my words, that cat can't stay.
48
When we were in the parking lot, Mom called, Hey kids, look what I've got.
49
Dad said, Don't show me what you've found.
50
We don't need one more cat around.
51
There's no use begging.
52
Don't say please.
53
I don't like cats.
54
They scratch my knees.
55
They carry fleas.
56
They make me sneeze.
57
They're always getting stuck in trees.
58
They eat my cheese.
59
They hairball wheeze.
60
Their licking makes my stomach queeze.
61
Free cats!
62
We do not have the space.
63
She'll have to find another place.
64
You're right again, Mom said to Dad, and I won't cry or get too sad,
65
just thinking of this little cat and how a car might squish her flat.
66
Abandoned in this parking lot, slim chance to none is all she's got.
67
Poor cat, just go, you heard the boss.
68
But look both ways before you cross.
69
It won't help to meow or yell.
70
watch for traffic.
71
Dad said, well, perhaps we'll drive her out a bit to someplace where she won't get hit.
72
We'll even show her picture round and put up posters saying found.
73
Now kids, sit down and stop that yaying.
74
This cat's not, you hear, not staying.
75
One night, my mom rushed in the door from doing errands at the store.
76
This ginger kitty has been hit, so I got out and rescued it.
77
Dad said, unrescue it, my dear.
78
We have no room for four cats here.
79
There's no use begging.
80
Don't say please.
81
I don't like cats.
82
They scratch my knees.
83
They make me sneeze.
84
They carry fleas.
85
They're always getting stuck in trees.
86
They eat my cheese.
87
They hairball-weaves.
88
Their licking makes my stomach-queeze.
89
I'm sure that everyone agrees.
90
We can't have any more of these.
91
Mom softly said, I'm sure you're right.
92
I'll send him back into the night.
93
His leg is broken.
94
He can't walk.
95
He's easy pickings for a hawk.
96
Poor thing.
97
It'll be over soon.
98
I doubt he'll make it through till noon.
99
So best of luck there, little fella.
100
Go outside now.
101
Dad said, well, uh, if his leg is truly broken,
102
maybe I've too harshly spoken.
103
Take him to the vet tonight to see if she can set it right.
104
But when he's well, without delay, that cat moves out.
105
That cat can't stay!
106
When I was coming home from school, I broke the no more kitties rule.
107
I hid the tabby in my hood because I knew my father would not let me bring her in the house.
108
Though she was tiny as a mouse.
109
I knew just what my dad would say.
110
Another cat?
111
That cat can't stay.
112
There's no use begging.
113
Don't say please.
114
I don't like cats.
115
They scratch my knees.
116
They carry fleas.
117
They make me sneeze.
118
They're always getting stuck in trees.
119
They eat my cheese!
120
They hairball-weez!
121
Their licking makes my stomach-weez!
122
I'm sure that everyone agrees.
123
We can't have any more of these!
124
So, I kissed Dad, and I said,
125
please, could you just give her one small squeeze?
126
That week, Dad said, look what I found, all sad and lonely at the pound.
127
and we were happy to discover
128
daddy is a doggy
129

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
