A cave man’s cave goes on fire so they come to help but when they put the fire out pickles explores the cave and finds a passage and gets stuck in it.

Now, you remember Fireman Joe and Pickles from our last story, right?  Well, this story is about those same people, Pickles the Cat and Joe the Fireman.  Why don’t we start the story now.

Once upon a time, Pickles the fire cat heard the chief talking on the phone.  “I wonder what kind of trouble there is this time?” he said quietly to himself.  

Joe, having overheard him, said, “The trouble is, there’s a fire down in a small clearing in the Hundred Acre Woods, in a cave man’s cave.” 
Pickles asked, “What’s a cave man? What’s a cave?”  
“A cave is a place is that is dug into the ground, sometimes carved by water, sometimes dug by people, cave men, for example.”  
“Well then, ” said Pickles. “I’ll have to go and see for myself.” And with that, he slid down the pole to the fire trucks and hopped on.  

It was a very bumpy ride to the Hundred Acre Woods.  When they got to the cave, Pickles said, “I don’t see a cave.  All I see is a big fire!”
“The fire is IN the cave,” explained Joe.  
“Oh!” exclaimed Pickles.

When the fire was out, Pickles explored inside. “What a cool house!” he said out loud to himself.  “Full of sharp, cone like things on the roof, passages and hidey-holes.”  Pickles went into one of the passages.  It got narrower and narrower, and harder to squeeze through, but Pickles wanted to see what was on the other side.  But instead of getting to the other side, all he got was STUCK.  

He couldn’t back out, so he called for help.  Joe heard him and got an axe from the fire truck.  He chopped carefully around Pickles, aiming carefully so that he would not hit Pickles.  Soon, the hole was wide enough for Pickles to back out, so he did.

“I’m never going into a passage again!” said Pickles.  

And when they got back to the fire station, Pickles went straight to bed for he was tired from trying to back out of the hole.

The end.
