PaginePaginepagineapp.comOne rainy afternoon, Sofia heard a tiny "mew" under the park slide.
A wet, shivering kitten looked up at her.
Sofia ran home to get Mom and a towel.
They dried the kitten and checked for a collar, but there was none.
Mom and Sofia made "Found Kitten" posters and put them up around the park.
The next day, a boy named Theo called. "That's my kitten, Pepper!"
Theo was so happy, and he invited Sofia to visit Pepper any time.
Number the events in order (1–4).
