Cat and Dog watch Human crash around with the vacuum cleaner getting ready for his aunt Muriel to visit. They decide to help make her welcome. Dog gets himself all wet and rolls in mud so he can shake himself all over her, and Cat puts a row of dead mice beside the cleaner. Aunt Muriel is very upset and has to be taken home, so Human can go happily to his football game.

From Pick 'n' Mix assorted Kiwi stories published by Scholastic.
