    THE CAT IN THE HAT

    The story begins as a girl named Sally and her brother, who serves as the narrator of
    the book, sit alone in their house on a cold, rainy day, staring wistfully out the window.
    Then they hear a loud bump which is quickly followed by the arrival of the Cat in the
    Hat, a tall anthropomorphic cat in a red and white striped hat and a red bow tie. The Cat
    proposes to entertain the children with some tricks that he knows. The children's pet fish
    refuses, insisting that the Cat should leave. The Cat responds by balancing the fish on
    the tip of his umbrella. The game quickly becomes increasingly trickier, as the Cat
    balances himself on a ball and tries to balance lots of household items on his limbs until
    he falls on his head, dropping everything he was holding. The fish admonishes him
    again, but the Cat in the Hat just proposes another game.
    The Cat brings in a big red box from outside, from which he releases two identical
    creatures with blue hair and red suits called Thing One and Thing Two. The Things
    cause more trouble, such as flying kites in the house, knocking pictures off the wall and
    picking up the children's mother's new polka-dotted gown. All this comes to an end
    when the fish spots the children's mother out the window. In response, Sally's brother
    catches the Things in a net, and the Cat, apparently ashamed, stores them back in the
    big red box. He takes it out the front door as the fish and the children survey the mess
    he has made. But the Cat soon returns, riding a machine that picks everything up and
    cleans the house, delighting the fish and the children. The Cat then leaves just before
    their mother arrives, and the fish and the children are back where they started at the
    beginning of the story. As she steps in, the mother asks the children what they did while
    she was out, but the children are hesitant and do not answer. The story ends with the
    question, "What would you do if your mother asked you?"
