Splash! I slipped and was immediately engulfed in water, but it was salty. Most likely by that girl over there, swimming to me. She has no business here, and if she hadn't eaten that cake I left out I wouldn't be in this mess! Hm! She's trying to get my attention. Best act like I didn't see her.
"Oh mouse! Ou est ma chatte?" The girl said.
I jumped out of the water with fright, I couldn't understand her french but I did understand the last word, and now she's trying to apologize! Ooh the nerve of that girl!
"Not like cats!" I cried out. "Would YOU like cats if you were me?" I listened to her response. Oh for pete's sake she's going on about this c-c I can't even say it! My fur was standing on end I was so tussled up about this girl.
"Oh, I beg your pardon! We won't talk about her any more if you'd rather not."
"We indeed!" I hastily responded, trying to maintain some of my manners to the best of my ability. "As if I would talk about such a subject! Our family always HATED c-c-cats: nasty, low, vulgar things! Don't let me hear that name again!"
My heavens now she's going on about her dog, does this girl even have manners? Oh my her dog eats us too? I think I have had enough of this girl. I'm swimming away from her. That conversation was bad from the start, I don't know why I didn't swim away earlier! Oh she's crying out to me now. Well, maybe I was a bit too harsh on her, she does seem to be different from the rest of us. Maybe if she knew why, she might well silence herself about them.
I mustered up my confidence, approaching her again.
"let us go to the shore, and then I'll tell you my history, and you'll understand why it is I hate c-c-cats and dogs."

As for why it is slightly late, I had internet troubles over the weekend and wasn't able to work on it at all, and I only got back my internet today.
I'll be honest I was pretty frustrated with this one, to make it sound like I wasn't just regurgitating a part of the book with a slight change of character.
