The Missing Kitten Mystery

Adam and his sister and brother, Aminah and Asad, were looking for their new cat's kitten, Khalid, in the basket, when they saw he wasn't there! "Where is he?" asked Asad. "He could be somewhere, taking a nap," suggested Adam. "Maybe he's playing with your crochet yarn, Aminah." "No way! I perfectly know I looked carefully before I left the room," said Aminah. "Maybe he's hiding under one of our beds." She walked into her room. She came back out, saying,"He's not anywhere!" Adam scratched his head. "Ummi, do you know where Khalid is?" he asked. "No, Adam!" Ummi yelled back.
Khalid was a white kitten, so he was hard to see against the white walls, or the white washer and dryer. Suddenly, Aminah yelled,"He's here!" Adam and Asad ran over. "Oh, it's just my white sock, Aminah,"Asad said. "Don't trick us." Aminah put her hands on her hips. "Well, you shouldn't leave all your stinky socks everywhere, mister!" she said. Suddenly a white figure streaked past. "Khalid!" all three screamed. They ran after, but, sadly, it was just...a...rat. A RAT!! EEEW! "Hey, that's Khalid!" Adam shrieked. But it was just a pillow. Aminah glanced under the pillow, and there was................Khalid.
