The Rescue on Sunny Hill (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:39s
Tom needed to hold on tight as he climbed the steep hill. The sun was high in the sky, making him wish he could hide in the shade. At the top, he found a hole that seemed to lead to nowhere. This must be the gateway to hell, he joked nervously. Suddenly, a voice called out for help. Tom peered into the hole and saw a kitten here at the bottom. Without hesitation, he became a hero, carefully descending to rescue the little creature. After climbing out, Tom decided to hire a vet to treat the kitten’s injury. The kitten purred, happy to be safe, and Tom smiled, feeling proud of his brave deed.
