A little girl put Basil's pot down on the front door step.Το πρώτο πράγμα στη ζωή του, που θυμόταν ο Βασιλικός ήταν ο κρύος αέρας. Ένα μικρό κορίτσι ακούμπησε τη γλάστρα του Βασιλικού στο σκαλοπάτι της εισόδου.Next to the front door he saw a big flowerpot. It was bright blue and on it was painted a picture of an orange cat."What a scary animal!" thought Basil.Δίπλα στην είσοδο είδε μία μεγάλη γλάστρα. Είχε φωτεινό μπλε χρώμα και πάνω της ήταν ζωγραφισμένη μια εικόνα από μία πορτοκαλί γάτα."Τι τρομακτικό ζώο!" σκέφτηκε ο Βασιλικός.
