Spinning Tales Around the Text

 

 

"As they made their way down to the harbour the village stood empty behind them. Cats wandered in and out of the echoing stone cottages; soon they, too, would be leaving in search of new homes"

  • All but Ffion's cat were left behind by the villagers. Write a lament as sung or told by the cats left behind in the deserted village. Where did they go? What did they do when they realised that the people weren't coming back?

 

Sometimes when the wind blows in the right direction you can still here the cats calling for the fires to be lit again, and sometimes if you are lucky you can see the ghosts of the cats still waiting in the ruins.
