The Dad named the only male one Banjo, as the Mom named them Emily and Jean. later that night, The Family looked at the moonless night sky, with many beautiful stars. in the weeks that went by in the coming winter, Banjo started to pull some pranks as He constructed a woodpile made of broken twigs from a rotting tree. Of course, Banjo's Father disapproves, since the twigs might have poison ivy and termites. a few days later, As Banjo taunts His sisters about being on the woodpile, the hapless kitten falls down from the rotted wood making Him twist His paw, as Banjo's Sisters laugh. Banjo's Father comes and tells His daughters not to laugh at Banjo's expense. Later that night, Banjo and His father talked in private about why Banjo fell. feeling that His son needs some growing up, Banjo's Father decided to task Him with hunting down rats. Banjo disapproved since He thinks Rats taste worse than mice. The next morning, Banjo chases a rat, but He couldn’t bring himself to kill it. Instead, He warns the rat not to come back. Banjo’s father was disappointed. Since he thinks the rat will come back and won’t be alone. Later that night, Banjo overhears a conversation between His parents about Banjo’s mousing mishap.
