The Adventures of Dick Ngan

Part 11

Dick woke up startled..

"Dicky boy, time for lunch. Get up and get washeo

quickly. He heard his mother's voice, and slowly as

his vision grow accustomed to his surroundings, he

saw his mother folding his blanket for him,

How you overslept this morning!" she remarked.

It's quite a long story, mom," Dick replied, as ha gave out a yawn. He would have continued sleeping if his mother had not been smoothing over the bed for him.

"What did you do last night? Your dad was rather upset when he found that you had not returned long efter the television station had closed down, Had not Alice told us that you borrowed her key and that you had a party at Don's place we would have been kept waiting all night!".

"I'm awfully sorry, mom. we had quite a bit of adventure," Dick tried to explained laconically, as he managed to stop yawning, and having slipped his lega into his Japanese sandals, he made his way to the

bathroom.

He gave out a cry when he started washing his hands. He suddenly remembered his left hand was bruisen by the claws of the first cat when he awkwardly tried to grab its neck; a mistake which bad certainly taught him a lesson. He quickly dried his hands and applied two drops of iodine to the bruises, which did durt though.

A little later pick entered the Dining-room. Alier was already seated by it. Her face seemed serious, a little preoccupied. At fifteen she was one year Junior to Dick). He dould sense that she had something on her mind.

"What's bounering you, en via your boy friena. turn you away?" asked Dick half-jokingly.

Stop Leasing me, will you. In the first place I haven't got a boy friend, and in the second place, bo one will ever dare to turn me away, simply because I won't allow it. She replied as if fer pride had been hurt by Dick's joke.

"Forgive me, I have just woke upi" Dick find an excuse. But you look worried":"

"If you were in my shoes, you would too,

"why?" Dick was curious,

"ve got to get back to school this afternoon to get our exam. results. Suppose if I failed to get through what would everybody think of "me"?!"

"You won't; no sister of mine is going to fall!!? At this moment, Mrs. Ngan came into the room and took her seat. As the arah started serving them, Dick and Alice obediently ceased their chatter. From young they had been taught that it was improper to talk while eating, Dick could vaguely remember his father having said,

"The pleasure of eating comes from making as little noise as you can in the process of tasting the

delicacies of the kitchen."

Dick was by no means a glutton, but he felt inclined to eat more, probably due to the fact that ne had been ruining about the whole night. While helping himself to some tomato omelette, his thoughts suddenly drifted to the adventure of the previous night. The fou boys had wet at the appointed time and place, and they wasted no time to begin their adventure. Unfortunately for Dick, he could not lay hands on an old mir of gloves, and being reluctant to spend his weekly allowances or ten dollars on a new pair he ventured to run after the cats with his bare hands. Don had got along two rice sacks to take

away their prize object

The boys decided to work in two teams, each covering several blocks of houses, While Bil partnered Jose, Dick led Don round a lane just ac the turn of Lincoln Road,

"Don't make any noise, warned Dick, as they saw a dark object dart across them a few yards away "Shhh, I think it's a cat," whispered. Dick,"

"But why didn't it meow?" asked Don, k "Shhhh have the sack ready. It's a kitten. "Do you think it is useful to us? It may not worth $5, you know, why not let it lead us to it's mother or its brothers and sisters," prompted Don.

"Good idea, let's follow it," replied Dick. Dick was right, khat darted before their path was

kitten, which took fright on seeing Dick and Don and started to run. The boys swiftly went after it. It turned at the end of the lane and when Dick and Dor. reached the end of the tane the kitten was nowhere in sight. What a fruitless chase, thought Dick. Suddeni, out of nowhere came a "meow meow," sound. Both boys started to retrace their steps, for the sound appearec to come from the other end of the lane. They stopped. Quick short, as they saw a cat coming towards them. get the bag open, while I try to grab at it," whispered Dick. In a moment, the cat was within an arm's length from Dick who and as sprang into an activ As he bent his body he got hold of the neck of the cat, which started to struggle and at the same time. letting out a sharp piercing cry. It was while trying to subdue the creature that Dick got his left hand clawed "Throw it into my sack, shouted Don with urgency, Dick did exactly that.

"Well, so you got our cat, eh," a new voice interrupted. Dick and Don turned round to find bill and Jose behind them.

What do you mean?" asked Dick..

"That's the cat we chased, Jose explained. "Anyway, it doesn't really matter who chases and who catches so long as we have enough prize-money to spend a happy weekend," interjected Bill. -

Dick could have gone on recalling the adventure as long as he desired had not been for the fact that their meal had come to an end, and the table had to be cleared. So Dick, Alice and their mother left the dining-room to relax in the sitting-room which was mor breezy and comfortable.

"How much money did you all make last night," asked Alice when she had settled herself on the sofa
