Pap the cat took a nap on a map. When he woke up, he saw a gap in the wall. He was curious and decided to take a peek. Through the gap, he saw a trap with some cheese. Pap was smart and didn't touch it. Instead, he went to lap up some water from his bowl. Then he curled up in Gran's lap for another cozy nap.
