Even though I’m not a child anymore, I still enjoy watching cartoons. Tom and Jerry is one of my favorites. Tom is the mischievous cat, Jerry is the clever mouse. Tom is always trying to catch Jerry Jerry always finds a way to escape. In one episode, Jerry led Tom on a wild chase, the house was a wreck by the time the owner came home. The owner had warned Tom that if Tom got into any more trouble that Tom was going to be homeless. Jerry knew just what he was doing. When the owner got home, out Tom went. Tom slept in the cold Jerry slept in the warm house. Tom didn’t get his supper that night Jerry ate cheese until his stomach was bursting. Poor Tom! He never learns.
