THE RAT. IN WORDS OF THREE LETTERS.
Reading edition
Frederick. I saw a rat; and I saw the dog try to get it.
Ann. And did he get it?
Frederick. No: but the cat did.
Ann. My cat?
Frederick. No: it was the old cat.
Ann. How did she get it? Did she run for it?
Frederick. No: it is not the way:—she was hid—the rat ran out; and, pop! she had him.
Ann. A dog can run.
Frederick. Yes; but a cat is sly.
Ann. The kit can not get a rat.
Frederick. No; she can not yet; but she can get a fly. I saw her get a fly.
