And that is because where he lives, cats are dangerous, they eat insects, and mice. So, when Chester sees Harry is behind Tucker, Chester is really scared but after they know each other better and stay together more, Chester finds out that Harry is kind and friendly. So they are good friends now. Understanding is something that is very important in people’s relationships.

Lots of people in real life also love to play music, and some love to enjoy music by listening and singing. Music is something that can let one feel the same feeling the person who writes that music has. Also, music is a kind of art and a good song should let one hear a story inside it. To Tell you the truth, if all the movies don't have any music inside it will never let people have very strong mood swings. And think about musicals. It has some words but almost all songs and a lot of people love musicals so, if the musical lost the music no one will go and see it anymore.
