me pueden decir 10 verbs in the past de el cuento the black cat

arriolaluisana4: That night I woke up suddenly - my bed was on fire. I heard people
outside shouting, ''Fire! Fire!' Our house was burning! I, my wife and
our servant were lucky to escape. We stood and watched as the
house burned down to the ground. There was nothing left of the
building the next morning. All the walls fell down during the night,
except one - a wall in the middle of the house.

arriolaluisana4: I realized why this wall did not burn: because there was new plaster
on it. The plaster was still quite wet. I was surprised to see a crowd
of people next to the wall. They were talking, and seemed to be
quite excited. I went closer and looked over their shoulders. I saw a
black shape in the new white plaster. It was the shape of large cat,
hanging by its neck. I looked at the shape with complete horror.

arriolaluisana4: Several minutes passed before I could think clearly again. I knew I
had to try to think clearly. I had to know why it was there. I
remembered hanging the cat in the garden of the house next door.
During the fire the garden was full of people. Probably, someone cut
the dead cat from the tree and threw it through the window - to try
and wake me. The falling walls pressed the animal

arriolaluisana4: 's body into the
fresh plaster. The cat burned completely, leaving the black shape in
the new plaster. Yes, I was sure that was what happened. But I

arriolaluisana4: could not forget that black shape for months. I even saw it in my
dreams.
I began to feel sad about losing the animal. So I began to look for
another one. I looked mostly in the poor parts of our town where I
went drinking. I searched for another black cat, of the same size and
type as Pluto. One night, as I sat in a dark and dirty drinking-house, I
noticed a black object on top of a cupboard, near some bottles of
wine.

arriolaluisana4: I was surprised when I saw it. ' I looked at those bottles a few
minutes ago,' I thought, ''and I am sure that object was not there
before I got up, and went to see what it was. I put my hand up,
touched it, and found that it was a black cat - a very large one, as
large as Pluto.

arriolaluisana4: He looked like Pluto too - in every way but one: Pluto
did not have a white hair anywhere on his body; this cat had a large
white shape on his front. He got up when I touched him, and
pressed the side of his head against my hand several times. He
liked me.

arriolaluisana4: This was the animal I was looking for! He continued to be
very friendly and later, when I left, he followed me into the street. He
came all the way home with me - we now had another house - and
came inside. He immediately jumped up on to the most comfortable
chair and went to sleep. He stayed with us, of course. He loved both
of us and very soon he became my wife's favourite animal.
