Speaker 2 (4:09) It was the cats next door who first told Hector and Sunny about the delicious new item on the menu at the Dimple Dumpling Cafe. There were two of them. Cats, I mean. Snowy and Ginger were their names. Snowy, as you might expect, had fur as white as snow, with ice blue eyes. While Ginger, well, Ginger was orange, the same colour as the leaves on the trees and on the ground that cool autumn evening. Which meant... that he was quite difficult for Hector and Sonny to spot, sitting up on a branch of the cherry tree in Hector's back garden. They had to squint up, and then they could only really see his amber eyes gleaming like diamonds. What's that you said? Hector called up. You're going to have to come down. We can't quite hear you. We won't fall for that, Snowy called back down. You only want us to come down so you Speaker 1 (5:10) can chase us. We Speaker 2 (5:12) know what you pooches are like. Hector and Sunny exchanged a grin. Alright, they did only want their cats to Speaker 1 (5:22) come down so they could chase them. Speaker 2 (5:24) But who Speaker 1 (5:24) could blame Speaker 2 (5:25) them? Chasing cats was one of life's Speaker 1 (5:29) pleasures. Speaker 2 (5:29) Like digging up bones and solving mysteries. And there were few cats more fun to chase than Snowy and Ginger. It was one of their favourite games to play all together. They could chase them around all day. Fine. said Sunny. Just drop down one branch so we can hear you. Cats have this magical way of moving like water, not like dogs who are more like elephants in a candy store, banging into this and that and causing quite a mess. Snowy and Ginger slipped off their branch and flowed down to the one beneath it. What we were saying, Speaker 1 (6:14) Ginger said, Speaker 2 (6:15) is that Uma's got a new drink on the menu at the Dimple Dumpling Cafe. A poppuccino. Speaker 1 (6:25) Hector Speaker 2 (6:25) raised an eyebrow. A puppuccino? That's nothing new. We've had tons of puppuccinos, haven't we, Sonny? We sure have, Heck, she said. Still, both of their mouths started watering a little bit, just at the thought of those delicious pup-sized cups full of delicious whipped cream. Snowy let out a little kitty chuckle. Oh, it's no ordinary Speaker 1 (6:54) puppuccino, she Speaker 2 (6:56) said, licking a paw and daintily grooming one Speaker 1 (7:00) eyebrow. Uma's developed Speaker 2 (7:02) a unique recipe with a top secret mix of spices. Delilah, the cat who lives at the Dimple Dumpling Cafe, says that everyone's calling it the most scrumptious puppuccino on the planet. All of the other cafe owners are desperate to find out what Uma puts in her secret spice mix, but she's Speaker 1 (7:25) keeping it guarded under lock and key. Speaker 2 (7:29) Now Hector and Sonny's mouths began to water even more. Uma was the greatest baker
