Old Mother Cricket and her four babies face cold nights on a doorstep until a kindly house cat offers shelter and food. The cat ushers them inside a warm dining room hole, the dog avoids danger, and the family settles in. In gratitude the crickets begin to sing each evening, a habit they share ever since.
