Frightened, she reveals the secret of the talking cat. Her punishment: she must write two hundred times, \"There are no talking cats, and from now on I will arrive at school on time.\" But the cat is real, no matter how many lines Christine writes. And she might just as well leave out the \"no\"--the headmaster won't even notice, says the clever cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's what the cat always says--that life is all about being clever.
