THE STORY OF MISS MOPPET
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
MoppetMiss 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 itthere
was no Mouse!
He has wriggled out and
run away; and he is
dancing a jig on the top of
the cupboard!
