Then they spotted a poster It read HAVE FUN ON A MUSEUM SLEEPOVER I’d like to do that Jed sighed Me too said Ruby But they both knew it would cost too much Have Fun on a Museum Sleepover After a while Jed’s stomach rumbled Ruby’s did too Snack time Ruby declared I’m starving
They sat down on a bench Ruby opened up her backpack Yum yum she said Ugh Barbecued lobster potato chips Yuck grumbled Jed No Eating She’d like them Ruby joked pointing at the carved cat who sat proudly on a pillar nearby
No way Jed told Ruby That cat is too good for your fishy-smelling potato chips Jed really admired the Egyptian cat She had a narrow gold collar around her neck and tiny golden disks hanging from her ears
Sitting there forever must be so boring Jed said Maybe there’s a magical day when she comes to life Ruby laughed Just then the sun shone through the windows and the cat’s face glowed Jed was sure she had smiled at him Don’t be silly he thought to himself
