Kitty cat food was so yummy, Igor's tummy rumbled like a big bass drum. But getting to it was hard, oh my! The can was shut tight, what a tough nut to crack!

Little Paula, a kindhearted pigeon, flew by and saw Igor frowning and sighing. 'Come on, Igor,' she chirped, 'I'll help you get some food so scrumptious and fine!' They went on a mission, a food quest together, like a perfect little pair of feather and spiky leather!
