LESSON IX.
Reading edition
KITTY AND MOUSIE.
Once there was a little kitty, White as the snow; In a barn he used to frolic, Long time ago.
In the barn a little mousie Ran to and fro; For she heard the little kitty, Long time ago.
Two black eyes had little kitty, Black as a crow; And they spied the little mousie, Long time ago.
Four soft paws had little kitty, Paws soft as snow; And they caught the little mousie, Long time ago.
Nine pearl teeth had little kitty, All in a row; And they bit the little mousie, Long time ago.
When the teeth bit little mousie, Mousie cried out "Oh!" But she slipped away from kitty, Long time ago.
