One day Maurice, the little striped kitten, was caught in the rain. He was so afraid of getting his white paws wet that he jumped into a flowerpot that stood on the terrace of sweet Lucy's house. And suddenly a miracle happened! The flower in the pot spread its leaves and opened over the kitten like a real umbrella, sheltering him from the rain and the storm! So little Maurice spent the whole evening surrounded by green leaves and beautiful flowers until the rain stopped. Now he walks past Lucy's terrace every evening and visits the very flowerpot that once saved him from bad weather.
