  1. (continued from previous page)
    He is the farmer's best friend.
    The terrier and the grey-hound are kept to kill rabbits.
    They are let loose at night to guard the house.
    They are called by different names.

    Cats :
    Cats are kept to kill rats, and mice, because they destroy food.
    Cats are fed three times a day on bread and milk.
    When we call them we say
    "Puss, puss, puss."
    When a cat is young she is called a kitten.
