|BRAINLIEST|

Read the paragraph.

The pitiful noise coming from somewhere under the abandoned house caught my attention. I walked up to the house, trying to move slowly so as not to scare whatever was under there. I couldn’t figure out how the kitten got under the house, but I managed to find a loose board and move it aside. I looked into the darkness beneath the house and saw a tiny ball of fur, a kitten! I spoke to it, hoping to calm it down and coax it toward me. I was surprised when the kitten rushed into my arms. She was relieved to be rescued!
