     Santi's big brother Len had told him never to push all the remote control buttons at the same time. He
said that something terrible would happen if he did. Santi didn't really believe this. While Len was out of
the room, Santi jumped down on the sofa with the remote control in his hand. For a while, he changed
from channel to channel, looking for something interesting to watch. Bored, Santi decided to see what
Len could have meant.
     With a quick glance (扫视) over his shoulder to make sure Len hadn't come back,he pushed all the
buttons at once. Santi saw a bright flash,and he dropped the remote control. "I've broken it,"he thought.

the huge sofa and hurried across the floor. In the kitchen, Santi could see that the sliding door (滑门) had
been left open. "If the door is open, then the cat might be in here," tiny Santi said.

him. Just as the cat reached out to attack Santi, it slipped (打滑) on some water and slid across the
kitchen floor. Out of breath, Santi hid behind a flowerpot in the corridor. He could see his mum far away
in the garden. "How will I ever get there?" he wondered. As he looked out from behind the flowerpot,
there was the huge cat looking right at him! Santi rushed for the garden and then…, he woke up. "It was
only a dream!" he said with a relieved smile. "Thank goodness!"
