Summary
Kitten thought the moon was a bowl of milk in the sky and she tried hard to reach it. She opened her mouth to lick, wiggled her bottom and sprang from the top step of the porch, chased it down the sidewalk, through the garden, past the field, and by the pond, climbed the tree, and leaped to the pond to get it. However, she failed and she went home. She found the real bowl of milk on the porch in the end.

Reflection
   I think what Kitten chased is one kind of happiness that she didn't have. Like people, people chase the happiness they don't have and they think it is what they need. They try hard to reach it, but they forget the happiness they have around them. Trying hard to chase happiness is good, but we can't ignore what we have. We should cherish every person, every thing in our life. Kitten's adventure is so special. Although she didn't get the bowl of milk in the sky, she got the real bowl of milk. It's a pity that she didn't get what she wanted. It's a good thing that she found the happiness she had in her life. Everyone should learn how to cherish what we have.
