Thank you to the people who sent me the story via snail mail.  Thank you to
the person who sent me the story via an attachment.  I couldn't seem to
open it.  This group is wonderful.

Story:          Scat The Cat
Materials:  Several different colored flannel cats. Flannel board.

Procedure:
Boys and girls, this is Scat the Cat.  Scat the Cat was black, as black as
the soft dark night, but he got tired of being a black cat, and one day he
looked up at the blue, blue sky and wanted more than anything in the whole
world to be a blue cat, as blue as the blue, blue sky:  so he wrinkled up
his nose, closed his eyes, and said, "I'm Scat the Cat, I'm sassy and fat,
and I can change my color just like that!" ( teacher snaps fingers on word
"that").
And so, before you could say "Boo!", Scat the Cat was a blue cat .  Now
Scat the Cat liked being a blue cat, but he soon got tired of all the spots
that got on his blue, blue fur when he rolled around in the dirt, and one
day he looked up at the leaves on the trees and wanted more than anything
in the world to be as green as the green, green leaves, so he wrinkled up
his nose and said, "I'm Scat the Cat, I'm sassy and fat, and I can change
my color just like that!"  And he was a green cat, as green as the green,
green leaves.
And he liked being a green cat, but soon he got tired of being a green cat
because his friends could not find him in the tall green grass; so he
wrinkled up his nose and said, "I'm Scat the Cat, I'm sassy and fat, and I
can change my color just like that!"
And one day he looked up at the red apples on the tree, he wanted more than
anything in the world to be as red  as the red, red apples, so he wrinkled
up his nose and said, "I'm Scat the Cat, I'm sassy and fat, and I can
change my color just like that!"  But he got tired of being a red cat
because all the dogs saw his bright red fur and chased him and one day he
looked up and saw the yellow sun and wanted more than anything in the whole
world to be a yellow cat, as yellow as the bright, yellow sun, so he
wrinkled up his nose and said, "I'm Scat the Cat, I'm sassy and fat, and I
can change my color just like that!"
But he got tired of being a yellow cat,  because his friends said he was so
bright and shiny a yellow he hurt their eyes, so he sat down and he thought
and thought, and then, faster than you can say "Boo!" he wrinkled up his
nose, closed his eyes and said, "I'm Scat the Cat, I'm sassy and fat, and I
can change my color just like that!" (teacher replaces yellow cat with
black), and there he was, back to his own best color , a black cat, as
black as the soft, dark night.
