KITTENS’ PROMENADE.
Reading edition
WHITEFOOT, Malta and Pussy-cat Gray Went to walk together one summer day. Never before had they passed the gate, And they walked with pride, with tails up straight. “It’s very charming,” Miss Whitefoot sighed, “Who would have thought the world so wide?” A toad and a grasshopper sat in the way— “What giants we are!” said Pussy Gray. “Mother told of danger outside the gate— There’s nothing to harm us,” said Malta sedate. Pussy Gray said, “You see, I suppose, How very foolish of late she grows.” Just then a dog jumped over the wall— And spit and a cloud of dust were all That was left. The kittens brave and sedate Had vanished through the open gate.
