LULU TAKES CARE OF KITTY.
Reading edition
BY M. E.
They brushed the clothes, they beat the clothes, One sunny April day— Their winter clothes, I mean—and then They packed them all away In paper boxes tied around With very strongest strings, First freely sprinkling them with some Tobacco dust and camphor gum, And other sneezy things. And when, their labor done, they took Their tea and toasted bread, "Why, where is kitty?" some one asked, And "I know," Lulu said; "She's in my dollie's biggest trunk; I brushed and beated her; There can't not any moths, I dess, Det into her nice fur. She scratched my finders when I put The camphor stuff about. Div' me some toast that's buttered froo." They left it all to her, and flew To let poor kitty out.
