Tread softly

'It's funny...' said the grey horse.
The grey horse stepped,
'How am I doing?' asked the grey horse.
'Quiet as a cat,' said the first black cat.
'I can't hear a thing,' said the second black cat.
'Not a whisper,' said the first black cat.
'Who would have thought,' asked the second black cat,
(Pause.)
'It's funny...' said the grey horse.
'Now that I make no sound
'people listen,
'and watch,
'and wait for me
'like they never have before.'
(Pause.)
The grey horse stepped,
and stepped again.
Quiet as a cat.
'I feel so much better for stepping quietly,' he said.
'Most especially, for not waking people,
'when they're trying to sleep.'
