1
00:00:12,075 --> 00:00:17,045
A cat jumped down from Tom's head.

2
00:00:17,046 --> 00:00:26,424
"Oops!" said Tom in surprise.

3
00:00:26,425 --> 00:00:29,255
"You're not a fur hat.

4
00:00:29,256 --> 00:00:32,822
You're a cat!"

5
00:00:32,823 --> 00:00:36,489
"Sorry about that," Tom said to the cat.

6
00:00:36,490 --> 00:00:41,350
"But I must go now.

7
00:00:41,351 --> 00:00:53,369
I need to find that map!"

8
00:00:53,370 --> 00:00:58,308
Tom went deeper and deeper into the forest.

9
00:00:58,309 --> 00:01:03,668
He looked behind branches and under roots.

10
00:01:03,669 --> 00:01:10,764
Everything looked dark and spooky.

11
00:01:10,765 --> 00:01:16,004
"Where is the map?" Tom thought.

12
00:01:16,005 --> 00:01:20,542
<font color="#ffff00"><i>Snap! Snap! Crunch!</i></font>

13
00:01:20,543 --> 00:01:23,854
Tom froze.

14
00:01:23,855 --> 00:01:26,411
Something was coming!

15
00:01:26,412 --> 00:01:29,466
He backed up slowly.

16
00:01:29,467 --> 00:01:32,731
Tom tripped and fell. "Oof!"

17
00:01:32,732 --> 00:01:37,696
Sticks snapped and leaves crunched.

18
00:01:37,697 --> 00:01:41,264
Tom closed his eyes.

19
00:01:41,265 --> 00:01:44,370
Suddenly—<font color="#ffff00"><i>crash!</i></font>

20
00:01:44,371 --> 00:01:48,999
A creature burst through the trees!

21
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,406
It was the cat!

22
00:01:51,407 --> 00:01:54,367
Tom climbed to his feet.

23
00:01:54,368 --> 00:01:57,821
"Hello," said Cat.

24
00:01:57,822 --> 00:02:00,476
Tom's jaw dropped.

25
00:02:00,477 --> 00:02:03,782
"You can talk!" Tom said.

26
00:02:03,783 --> 00:02:07,491
"Cats have nine lives," Cat said.

27
00:02:07,492 --> 00:02:13,045
"In each life we can talk to one person."

28
00:02:13,046 --> 00:02:17,387
"And you picked me," Tom said.

29
00:02:17,388 --> 00:02:22,826
He bowed. "Thank you, Cat."

30
00:02:22,827 --> 00:02:27,287
Then Tom looked around the Dark Forest.

31
00:02:27,288 --> 00:02:32,427
He sighed. "I'm lost."

32
00:02:32,428 --> 00:02:35,924
"I can lead you out of the forest," said Cat.

33
00:02:35,925 --> 00:02:39,277
Tom grinned. "You can?"

34
00:02:39,278 --> 00:02:42,717
Cat nodded. "Sure."

35
00:02:42,718 --> 00:02:47,208
"Do you know where the palace is?" Tom asked.

36
00:02:47,209 --> 00:02:50,653
"I do," Cat said.

37
00:02:50,654 --> 00:02:58,017
She climbed into Tom's pocket.

38
00:02:58,018 --> 00:03:06,681
Together the new friends started walking.
