Once upon a time, there was a curious cat named Kit who wanted to learn many new skills. One day, Kit noticed a sign on a door that read: "Classes: walk slowly, speak quietly, play the guitar, speak English, walk quickly, dance gracefully, ride a unicycle, speak loudly, paint beautifully, bake."

Kit was very excited and decided to join the class. When he arrived, he saw that there were students of all shapes and sizes, and all kinds of animals. The teacher was a wise owl, and he asked Kit to start by walking slowly. But, Kit was so excited that he started walking quickly, and the teacher said, "Kit, remember to walk slowly."

Next, the teacher asked Kit to speak quietly, but Kit was so eager to show off his new skills that he spoke loudly. The teacher then asked Kit to play the guitar, and he played it beautifully. The teacher was very pleased with Kit’s progress, and next, he asked Kit to speak English. Kit was so proud of himself that he started speaking in English loudly, but the teacher reminded him to speak quietly.

Finally, it was time for Kit to dance gracefully, and he did so with such style that everyone was amazed. The teacher then asked Kit to ride a unicycle, and he rode it around the room with ease. Next, the teacher asked Kit to paint beautifully, and he painted a picture of a sunny day with a rainbow.

Finally, it was time for Kit to bake, and he baked a delicious cake that everyone enjoyed. In the end, Kit learned that it was important to listen to the teacher and follow the instructions carefully. From that day on, Kit walked slowly, spoke quietly, played the guitar beautifully, spoke English fluently, danced gracefully, rode a unicycle with ease, painted beautifully, and baked delicious cakes.
