  When Abu first reached the drain, he realized that he was too far away to reach the kitten so he then readjusted his position in order to try again.

  However, in order for Abu to climb back up to his chair, he was forced to leave the kitten in the grass in order to use his arms. And, in typical cat-fashion, the little kitten used the opportunity to run away across the road, without so much as a thank you.
