Usually black cats are known to be quite lucky - not this one. It had been radio - activated with so much of the witch's magic over the year that his fur started to stand up and his cat's eyes had become so shiny and green that they shone in the dark - but it was so unlucky that he still couldn't see. The witch's unlucky black cat was so unlucky that the milkman trod on him. He crashed his bottles on the ground - when the unlucky black cat was dashing around. The witch's black cat was so unlucky that it got stuck in the cat flap regularly and even the witch's magic spell didn't set him free. The witch's (un)lucky black cat was so (un)lucky that it missed the bus on the way to school and didn't arrive on time for the maths class so had only five lives, not nine. So unlucky, in fact, that it's whiskers didn't fit through the door ... and when his paws got wet with milk, it slipped on the floor and skid through the door. When it rained, the unlucky black cat always fell in a puddle - when it snowed, he got hit by snowballs. The unlucky black cat was so unlucky that he trod in paint and left red, green and blue footprints wherever he went. His saucer of milk always spilt.
