WHO WAS HE
Reading edition
I have a strange tale, O Queen.
The other day I found a round glass.
An old man was looking into the glass, so I looked in, and guess what I saw.
I saw a cat looking straight at me.
His face was white just like mine.
His eyes had black spots in them just like mine, and his whiskers were long just like mine.
When I said ‘Mew!’ he said ‘Mew!’
When I moved my paw, he moved his paw.
When I ran away, he ran away too, so I never have found out who he was.
