A Gryton Story

How my father has told this story many times of the little boy in Greyton.

One day there was a boy named james who's passion was collecting insects and being outdoors. He had a simese cad called Coco who was verry fat and loved to play. While james sat playing in his cot Coco would watch him like a hawk. She leaped in and the little boy jumped in suprisement and exsightment. He grabbed Coco's tail and gave a gret pull with a wide grin on his face. The cat shreeked and leaped back outside the cot. The boy shreeked with laughter and ratteled the cot to pices and maneged to escape. The cat made a bolt down the stairs to the living room with the boy in persuit, rollong down the stairs he came with a great crash yelled out a screekch to alert that he had had enough. The cat quickly ran outside and over to the nabours fence. The little boy sat on the grass looking at all the bugs with another massive grin. There were grasshoppers, beetels, ants and spiders. The boy was so exsited he didn't know what to do next then suddenly he noticed the cat agin next to him who had returned from the neighbours with a large pice of biltong in it's mouth. The boy shreeked with joy again to see his friend return so soon and grapped his tail again for another pull. The cat ran into the house with the pice of meat only to meet Father standing watching the senario and quickly grabbed tha cat and said "Ginny come quick and see" Mother ran outside and said "Where did the cat get that biltong from?" "I don't know said father, but we better not let it go to waste." Mother agreed with a nod and took the biltong inside and cut the pice off where the cat had been chewing contently. About two days laiter the nabours came to tea with a strange story of thier own. The neibours wife said "David you know i'm telling you the strangest thing happend the other day." "Oh really what?" said father. "I had just come back from the shops and had bought a pice of biltong and left it on the table, while i went to collect the rest of the shopping from my car" she said. "And when i got back, it was gone!". My father blushed and lowered his head realizing what had happend, he said "Well we have some" With a grin on his face offerd a bowl of chopped biltong to her. "would you like some" he added with a grinn. And the boy grinned and let out a shreek of joy.
