Timofej is a red fluffy cat. He lives in a big flat. There are five rooms there: a living room, a study, a big nice kitchen, and two bedrooms. There is also a bathroom, a pantry and a large balcony.

Timofej likes his flat very much. He often walks about the flat. But his favorite room is certainly the kitchen. He likes to watch how the family eats. And he likes to eat meals himself. But most of all he likes to watch how mum makes meals.

Timofej wants to make meals himself. He comes to the kitchen and says “Meow! Can I help you, mum?”

“No way,” answers mum. “Sit still and watch!”

Mum doesn’t let anybody in the family cook. She enjoys cooking herself. And everybody in the family enjoys eating her meals. They are so tasty, especially porridge which she cooks for breakfast. Everybody in the family thanks her after breakfast every morning, even Timofej comes to thank mum.

“It was really tasty,” he says sometimes. Though he usually says, “It was delicious.”

Timofej dreams that one day mum will come and say to him that his porridge was delicious too even more delicious than porridge she cooks. And she will thank him. And everybody in the family will come to thank him, because Timofej will cook something nice for breakfast.

It is usually porridge in his dream. And there is a big piece of yellow butter in it.

Timofej likes butter very much. So, mum always gives him a piece of butter with porridge. She goes to the shop and buys a huge piece of butter and puts it into a fridge. And she tells everybody about it. So Timofej knows where butter comes from. He even knows that at first people milk cows and make butter. And only then other people sell it in a shop.

Timofej dreams that one day he will go to buy butter himself. He will go to the shop with mum at first, because he doesn’t know where the shop is. But he can learn. He is a very clever cat. He can learn fast. So later he can go to the shop himself and mum will stay at home and rest. And she will thank Tima for choosing nice yellow butter.

And sometimes Tima thinks that he even can milk a cow himself. It’s his dream too.

And he dreams about making butter, because it’s very interesting to make it, especially when it’s yellow butter. And it’s interesting to sell butter in a shop. Timofej dreams about it too, because it’s such a nice dream.

And he certainly dreams some secret dreams in the kitchen, because kitchen is the place where everyone in the family shares his or her personal secrets with others. And Tima knows all family secrets. So, he considers he must dream about family secrets only in the kitchen.

He dreams that one day he will have a secret too. And he will share his secret with the family. And everyone will say it is the most exciting family secret they’ve ever heard. But currently Timofej doesn’t have any secret, at least, an exciting one. So, he only dreams about it.

These are his kitchen dreams. He dreams them only in the kitchen. But he never dreams his kitchen dreams in other rooms.

There are other dreams which he dreams there. Timofej has different dreams: a living room dreams, a study dreams, a bath-room dreams and other room dreams.

When the family goes to work, Timofej usually leaves the kitchen. He goes to the living room first.

It’s large and cozy. There is his favourite leather sofa and two leather armchairs. Tima can lie on all of them. They all are so soft and comfortable. It’s nice to sleep on them in the day time.

Timofej likes both the sofa and the armchairs. But he can’t lie simultaneously on both armchairs and the sofa. So, he dreams that one day he will manage it. Why not?

A living room is a very good place for dreams, especially when everybody in the family is at work. Nobody watches TV then. Nobody plays computer games. Nobody talks. So Tima can dream in silence. Living room dreams are very special. They are more special then kitchen dreams. Kitchen dreams are very simple, when they are not about secrets.

But living room dreams are never simple. They are more useful for the family. And Tima cares about the family very much. So, in the living room he dreams about a new large modern TV on the wall. Dad wants it so much. But he can’t afford it. He doesn’t earn enough money for a new large modern TV on the wall. Tima knows it because dad explains it every evening, “I can’t afford a new large modern TV on the wall, I must buy a new country-house first”.

Dad earns money for a country-house now. So Timofej dreams that he will earn money for a new large modern TV himself. Why not? Who else will? Everybody is busy with his or her own business. Only Tima doesn’t have his business yet. Though he thinks about it every day, that is, dreams…

Tima wants to help dad. Dad is so kind to him. When dad comes back home tired and rests on the sofa, he always lets Timofej stay there too. And he lets Timofej sit in his armchair when he watches TV.

Of course, Timofej can stay on the carpet when everybody watches TV, but nobody in the family sits there. They sit only on the sofa and on the two armchairs. So why should Timofej sit on the carpet? And dad understands it and never pushes Timofej from the armchair. So, they sit next to each other and watch a film together.

That’s why Timofej dreams about helping dad to earn money. He dreams about becoming a businessman. He dreams about different businesses. One day Timofej dreams about a construction business. The next day Timofej dreams about a hotel business. And sometimes he dreams about an

entertainment business, because Timofej watches a lot of films about entertainment and understands this business well. Entertainment business is the most amusing one. And Tima likes to amuse his family. So, he dreams he will manage it easily. He dreams he will be a very successful movie-maker or an outdoor presenter or an amusement park owner, though hotel business is very attractive for Tima too. Sometimes he dreams he is a hotel-owner. A respectful hotel-owner and there are lots of holidaymakers at his expensive luxury hotel.

It’s nice to be a hotel-owner. But there are other owners in the world: a land-owner, a bank-owner, an ATM-owner and a pet-owner. So Tima can choose what kind of owner he will be one day. Owners own their own things and even enterprises. Owners must be very responsible. And Tima is a responsible person, so he will certainly be a good owner. He will manage it.

Timofej is very good at management. So, may be, it’s better to be a manager: an enterprise manager or an exhibition manager or a department manager. And there are also other managers in the world. Tima dreams he would manage to choose between different managers. It’s important, for managers earn a lot of money especially top-managers.

Timofej dreams that he will earn a whole bowl of money. Timofej thinks dad will be very happy and thankful. And the whole family will be very happy and thankful too, because everybody in the family is happy and thankful when dad brings a whole wallet of money.

And Timofej can earn much more. Timofej can earn even a whole basket of money, or a whole bucket of money. Or even, a suitcase.

Then the family will be thankful to him even more than to dad for a wallet of money, which he regularly brings home.

Though in Tim’s opinion business is not only about making money. It’s about being useful to the world, at least to some part of it. So, there is one nice soft dream about business which he likes very much. Tima is sure that it is the most useful business. Besides, Tima believes that it’s very profitable.

Tima wants to breed sheep. First of all, Tima knows how tasty sheep cheese is. So, he can produce it and sell it all over the world, or at least in some parts of the world.

Secondly, sheep are wonderful animals. Someone can think they are the silliest animals in the world. But they are not. They are not silly at all. They are nice and smart.

They are even smarter than other animals. Besides, they are very fluffy. Just like him or even fluffier. So, he can understand how to deal with them.

Tima thinks sheep are the best animals in the world. They are extremely useful. They help people to have warm fluffy sweaters. Tima dreams he shaves his sheep and knits woolen things. This is the most attractive part of a sheep business, that is, knitting.

Mum says woolen things are so warm. She says everybody needs them. So, everybody will buy woolen things Tima knits. So, he can have lots of buyers all over the world. Mum says it’s necessary to wear woolen things in winter. Winter is so cold. And woolen things are so warm, that everybody will be happy.

Tima thinks spring and autumn are also cold sometimes, though they are mostly cool. Anyway, it’s nice to have warm things when it’s cool too. And woolen things are always warm. So, everybody can be very pleased wearing natural woolen things in spring and autumn.

Tima will knit woolen sweaters, woolen socks, woolen scarves, woolen stockings, woolen hats, woolen gloves and woolen mittens. They all are so soft and warm. Of course, Tima likes socks, mittens and scarves more than other items. He often watches mum knitting them for the family. That is why Tima thinks them the most important woolen items. Mum knits sweaters too. But she does it seldom, in winter mostly. So, sweaters can be knitted in winter mostly and on a few wonderful occasions when someone wants a warm woolen sweater for a present.

Tima enjoys almost every part of his dream about his sheep business. But there is one part which he finds hard. Tima is not experienced in grazing. So, when he starts to graze his sheep and turns away even for a minute the sheep immediately run away. Tima cannot understand why they are so disobedient. Smart, kind, wonderful sheep escape.

It happens every time when he starts to graze them. Tima doesn’t know how to control them. He cannot deal with it yet. He cannot prevent them from running away. He can only watch some of them at a distance, on the faraway mountain tops. And he doesn’t guess where the other sheep are. So, he has to go and look for them. And he is absolutely sure that there is someone else looking for them at the same time. And this someone else is not kind and wonderful. It is someone greedy and unfair. It is someone who wants to get Tima’s sheep. It is someone who likes sheep very much. Perhaps that greedy person heard something about the useful profitable sheep business. Perhaps, it wants to make sheep cheese too. Perhaps, it enjoys knitting and dreams to knit socks, scarves, stockings, hats, gloves and mittens. Or maybe, it dreams about knitting only sweaters: fine warm fluffy sweaters in winter.

Anyway, Tima is not pleased with its behavior. He disapproves of it. He doesn’t want anyone to take away his sheep, even if that person is fluffy. And that person is fluffy. Actually, it’s a wolf.

It is always a wolf who tries to steal Tima’s sheep in the mountains. Of course, Tima tries to be the first to find his sheep. He loves his sheep: Noisy, Naughty, Funny, Fine, Brave, Small, Tall, Happy, Silly, Bad, Big, and others. He knows all their names. He calls them loudly. He calls them by their first names: Noisy, Naughty, Funny, Fine, Brave, Small, Tall, Happy, Silly, Bad, Big, and others… But it doesn’t help.
