Write a 200-word short story about a cat who steals french fries. Please name the cat Rusty.
Rusty was a brown and grey striped tabby cat who couldn't help stealing fries. He thought they were delicious. One day, while his unsuspecting owner answered the phone while eating dinner, Rusty leaped up on the kitchen table and took the longest, crispest french fry off the dinner plate. Rusty had just sunk his fangs into the morsel when his owner returned. Panicked, Rusty ran from the room as quickly as possible, with the french fry hanging from his mouth. 

Almost instantly, Rusty realized his mistake. He'd taken off too fast on the hardwood floor and his paws were now skidding underneath him. He started to slide, and he couldn't help but crash into the living room table. The french fry went sailing from his mouth. Rusty watched in horror and the fry slid across the living room floor and fell down inside the heating grate. All the way down it went, straight to the basement with a soft thud. He wailed and meowed pitifully. Hearing him, his owner returned and saw his sad face. "Would a fry cheer you up?" his owner asked. Rusty came trotting over and accepted the fry, all his misdeeds happily forgotten.
