Hello Everyone! Welcome
to Tell Tell Stories!
I am going to narrate the story
of Disney's-The Aristocats-
The Birthday Wish "Good night, my loves,"
Duchess said. Her tail swished softly
as she gave each of her kittens- Berlioz,
Toulouse and Marie- a tender a nuzzle.
"Sleep tight, kiddos," O'Malley said
as he tucked them in. Berloiz and Toulouse
purred happily, but marie didn't want to
go to bed.
"Please may I go to the party tonight?"
she asked. "I promised to be very good!"
Duchess smiled and shook her head.
"Scat cat will have other birthday
parties you can go to when you're older.
For now, you need a good night's sleep."
Duchess and O'Malley left and shut the
door quietly behind them.
Marie listened as Berlioz began to snore
softly. Then Toulouse's whiskers began
twitching. Soon both her brothers were
fast asleep.
But Marie was wide awake.
Voices drifted from downstairs, then
music.
Duchess and O'Malley were throwing a
birthday party for their friend
Scat Cat. He was a jazz musician who had
helped Duchess and the kittens when they
were separated from their owner.
Marie sighed. Oh, how she
wished she were allowed to join them! Why,
Scat Cat was her friend, too. It wasn't
fair!
After all, Marie could laugh and dance
and sing
as well as any grown-up.
That's it! Marie thought.
She could sneak into the party if she
looked like an adult.
Tiptoeing carefully, she made her way
down the stairs.
The coat closet would be full of things
she could use to disguise herself!
The noise from the ballroom became
louder
as marie slipped into the dark closet.
She rummaged around, trying things on.
The feather bower tickled her nose. The
frilly bonnet
wasn't glamorous enough for a party.
The dark glasses made it impossible for
marie to see anything.
Finally, she found the perfect disguise.
Marie thought she looked very grown-up.
Marie crept into the parlor and looked
around.
Scat Cat was leading the band in a
fast-paced jazz number.
Duchess and O'Malley were chatting with
some cats in the corner.
But most of the cats were dancing.
They danced on the floor, on tables-
there was even a cat swinging from the
chandelier!
Marie wanted to dance, too.
"But I have to stay quiet," she reminded
herself.
"I mustn't get caught!" "This
is a beautiful house," someone said.
Marie turned around to see a lady cat
wearing a sparkly collar.
She was talking to Marie!
"Thank you," Marie said.
Then she slapped a paw over her mouth.
She was in disguise as a guest. No one
could know this was her house!
"I mean," Marie added in a hurry, "I think so,
too."
The lady cat gave marie a funny look.
Marie decided to change the subject, fast.
"I like your collar," she said.
"I like your hat," the cat said.
Marie beamed. It was working!
Her disguise was perfect.
Nearby, a cat in an apron appeared,
carrying a large platter.
"Who wants tuna ice cream?" he said.
"I do! I do!" Marie raised her paw and
jumped up and down.
Then she remembered - she was supposed to
act like a grown-up tonight!
The apron cat handed her a bowl.
"Thank you very much, young fellow," Marie
said in her best adult voice.
As she tasted the ice cream, she purred
loudly.
Tuna was her favorite! Later,
some of the guests played party games.
Marie enjoyed the charades, but Pin
the Tail on the Doggie was her favorite.
She won every round!
As marie removed her blindfold, the band
started playing a new tune.
Scat Cat put his trumpet down.
"You're on your own, fellas!" he said to the
band.
"This birthday cat has got a date with
the dance floor."
Scat Cat walked over to Marie.
"Ma'am," he said with a wink "may i have
this dance?"
Marie forgot all about getting in
trouble.
She put her little paw in his, and Scat
Cat led her out
onto the dance floor. "Enjoying the party,
"Marie?"
Scat Cat asked. "Oh, yes!"
Marie replied. Then she gasped.
"I mean... who's marie?" she asked,
trying to cover up her mistake. "Don't
worry.
Your secret is safe with me," Scat Cat
said.
"Let's just dance!" The music swelled,
and Marie took Scat Cat's advice.
She swayed, bopped and jumped to the beat.
Then, as the piano trilled, scat cat spun
her around like a top.
Marie whirled - and her disguise went
flying off! "Marie!"
The music stopped, and everyone stared.
Marie's disguise was gone and her mother
was marching
right toward her! "Young lady,
you are supposed to be in bed!" Duchess
said.
Marie looked up sadly. "I'm sorry, Mama,"
she said. "I didn't mean to disappoint you."
Marie felt terrible for making her
mother angry.
"Hey now," said a rumbly voice.
Marie looked up. It was Scat Cat!
"Say, Duchess, it is my birthday,"
Scat Cat said, "and marie's my friend.
How about letting her stay?" Scat Cat
leaned over toward the birthday cake on
the table.
"It's my birthday wish!" he said.
Then he blew out all the candles and
winked at Marie.
She smiled back. Duchess sighed,
looking closely at Marie and Scat Cat.
"Well, just this once, I suppose. But you
are going to bed early tomorrow night,
Marie.
Understood?" Marie nodded happily.
"Thank you, Mama! I promise I'll never
sneak out again."
So Marie stayed at the party, singing and
dancing and
talking with the grown-ups. Finally,
it was time for everyone to go home.
Marie was as sleepy as she had ever been.
As duchess carried her up to bed, Marie
heard Scat Cat call,
"Thanks for coming to my party, Marie!"
"Happy birthday, Scat Cat!"
Marie called back. "Thank you for the
dance!"
Marie couldn't stop smiling as Duchess
tucked her back into bed with her
brothers.
She would never forget her special night
and Scat Cat's
birthday wish! That's the end.
