Ann led Tom to his lab.
She showed him a tiny door.
"The last wizard kept things in this secret room."
Ann looked around the secret room.
"We need a potion to—"
Just then there was a soft meow.
"Cat?" Tom said in surprise.
"I found the secret door too," Cat said to Tom.
"And look—I already found a potion!"
Tom told Ann what Cat said.
"Let's mix the potion," Ann said.
"Huh?" Tom looked at her.
"I love my father," Ann said.
"But you have a kind heart, Tom.
Father treats you and Cat unfairly."
The next day the royal family returned.
Tom bowed before the queen.
"I missed Your Highness greatly," he said.
Then Tom held out a cup.
"I made a royal potion for you."
"Why, Tom!" The queen blushed.
"Thank you!"
The queen gulped down the potion.
Tom held his breath as Cat appeared.
Dirk scowled.
"You'll be gone soon, Wizard!"
"What's going on?" the king shouted.
Everyone watched the queen.
"Ah—" She gasped but she didn't sneeze.
"You cured me, Tom!" she said happily.
She petted Cat.
"Let there be cats in the palace!" shouted the king.
Dirk stomped away as everyone cheered.
