Write
the following in the Past Tense :

Helen points to the tree, and Tom
looks up there. He sees Helen’s cat high up in the tree. It can’t get down and
is looking as unhappy as Helen is. Tom  goes over the garden wall and climbs up the
tree and carries the cat down safety. Helen is so pleased to get her cat again
that she puts her arms round Tom’s neck and gives him a kiss. This pleases Tom
very much. This is certainly what he likes. He wants the cat to climb up the
tree every day. So that night he waits until it is dark and then he climbs the
tree. He carries a hammer and nails and a fish in his hand. He knows that cats
like fish so he nails the fish to the tree . If the cat goes up the tree the
next day, he hopes to get another kiss.
