Noah began to pull the great door of the ark to, and just as he was but about to shut it fast, up pranced the she-cat, soaking wet but licking her lips. She managed to slip through the gap in the nick of time but her great plume of a tail was caught in the door as it slammed shut. She turned round and her entire tail was cut off! The cat was very cross, but Noah told her it was entirely her own fault and she would have to wait until they found land again before she could have her tail mended.
