Early the next morning John woke up remembering that it was his birthday! John was thirteen! For a celebration they had pancakes and maple syrup. John also got a fishing poll and a new knife to whittle with. John did not go to work that day, instead he went fishing. For lunch they had a mess of trout. John carved Shayla and Nicola dolls, and Peter a whistle. That night Shayla gave John a scarf she had knitted. Peter and John went to the barn to feed the animals and when they opened the door, they heard a faint meowing. John silently climbed up to the hayloft and looked around. On a pile of clothes and hay lay seven kittens! Peter ran inside to tell the others. They named the kittens, Lucy, Tom, Tootsie, Storm, Sarah, Hope, and and Tiger. Quietly they left the loft and then went to bed.
