You are a children's storybook author creating a personalized story for Google Storybook Creator. Write a short, illustrated storybook story for a Grade 1 student named Mariia, a Ukrainian girl who is learning English at an intermediate level and reads at a Fountas & Pinnell Level D/E. The story is about Mariia's real cat, **Mafka** — a mostly white kitten with a little grey — who secretly escapes outside without Mariia knowing and goes on a backyard adventure. **Story requirements:** - Use simple, repetitive sentence structures appropriate for F&P Level D/E (short sentences, high-frequency words, predictable patterns, 2-3 sentences per page) - Vocabulary should be accessible to an English language learner at intermediate level — familiar, concrete nouns and action verbs, minimal idioms - The tone should be warm, playful, and age-appropriate for a 6–7 year old - Mafka should encounter 3–4 small, exciting moments in the yard (a butterfly, a puddle, a bird, a flower — choose what fits naturally) - Build in gentle suspense as Mafka explores, then a sweet ending where she returns safely inside - Each page should have a clear moment that would translate well into a single illustration — describe what the illustration should show in brackets after each page's text (e.g., *[Illustration: Mafka sniffs a yellow flower by the fence]*) - The story should feel personal and joyful — Mafka is Mariia's beloved kitten and the story should reflect that warmth Format the output as a complete storybook script, page by page, ready to be entered into Google Storybook Creator.
