Wait Till Emmett Comes

A preacher loses his way as night descends and seeks shelter at a small cabin. The man living there tells him that he has no room but suggests that the preacher stay in the big house overnight. The preacher takes his advice, and goes to the old, abandoned mansion. He builds a fire in the fireplace, sits down, and begins to read his Bible. A series of three cats, each bigger than the last, enter the room and warn him, “Wait till Big Martin comes.” The preacher flees into the night.
