STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Ever give away something and then realize you still want it? That's the story of one couple who donated a recliner to a thrift store in Denver. They did not realize that their cat had crawled inside the chair. Workers discovered the stowaway, called animal protection and eventually reunited the tabby with her family without incident, although we have no word on whether the kitty had been marked for a clearance⁴ sale. It's MORNING EDITION.

主持人STEVE Inskeet：

早上好我是Steve Inskeep。你有没有放弃一些东西，然后意识到你仍然想要它？这是一对夫妇向丹佛一家旧货店捐赠躺椅的故事。他们没有意识到他们的猫爬进了椅子里。工作人员发现了这只偷渡者，称之为“动物保护”，并最终与她的家人团聚，没有发生任何意外，尽管我们还不知道这只小猫是否被标记为清仓出售。这是早间版。
