Just as he grabbed a big branch of his tree, his kitty paw slipped! Silly Pockels Kitty! Pockels fell from the tree with a whump on the ground. He started to cry and made such a sad sound. Mama Kitty came running, "Pockels Kitty what's wrong are you okay?” “I fell out of the tree. My arm hurts and I don't want to play!” Mama Kitty hugged Pockels and said, "take deep breaths and we'll see. Inhale a big breath and then hold it for a count of 1.2.3.”
