Cheese Run

You
peer
over the edge of the bench. Cat looks up at you with hungry eyes. You eye the bridge
warily.
Breathing deeply you climb on to the string and then run as fast as you can. Your little claws gripping the bridge tightly as you scurry along. You’re almost to the end of the bridge when it starts falling. With a final burst of speed you dash
the final stretch
of string and make it safely to the table. The cheese sits before you,
majestic.
Suddenly there is a
thunk
as the table
wobbles
and you turn around. Cat has jumped on to the table with you.
What do you do?
What do you do?
