Fred is a scaredy cat. He is frightened of mice and spiders and caterpillars and monsters. His cousin Jack isn't frightened of anything. He comes to stay and involves Fred in all sorts of frightening situations. The worst moment is when the two of them meet some big, fierce-looking cats in the park. Jacks runs off but Fred is too frightened to move. All they do is ask the way to the river, but Jack doesn't know this and is suitably impressed with Fred's bravery.
