THIS is a Pussy called
Miss Moppet, she thinks
she has heard a mouse!

   THIS is the Mouse peeping
out behind the cupboard,
and making fun of
Miss Moppet. He is not
afraid of a kitten.

   THIS is Miss Moppet
jumping just too late;
she misses the Mouse and
hits her own head.

   SHE thinks it is a very
hard cupboard!

   THE Mouse watches Miss
Moppet from the top of
the cupboard.

   MISS MOPPET ties up
her head in a duster,
and sits before the fire.

   THE Mouse thinks she is
looking very ill. He
comes sliding down the bell-
pull.

   MISS MOPPET looks
worse and worse. The
Mouse comes a little nearer.

   MISS MOPPET holds
her poor head in her
paws, and looks at him
through a hole in the duster.
The Mouse comes very close.

   AND then all of a sudden
-- Miss Moppet jumps
upon the Mouse!

   AND because the Mouse
has teased Miss Moppet
-- Miss Moppet thinks she
will tease the Mouse; which
is not at all nice of Miss
Moppet.

   SHE ties him up in the
duster, and tosses it
about like a ball.

   BUT she forgot about that
hole in the duster; and
when she untied it -- there
was no Mouse!

   HE has wriggled out and
run away; and he is
dancing a jig on the top of
the cupboard!
