TIT FOR TAT.
Reading edition
TIT FOR TAT.
The proverb of tit for tat may perhaps be said to be going out of fashion, but it is still a universal favorite with children. When any one is ill-natured, and the sufferer wishes to hint his intention of retaliating at the first convenient opportunity, he cries out—
Tit for tat,
If you kill my dog,
I'll kill your cat.
