THE STORY OF MISS MOPPET
This
is
a
Pussy
called
Miss
Moppet,
she
thinks
she
has
heard
a
mouse!
This
is
the
Mouse
peeping
out
behind
the
cupboard,
and
making
fun
of
Miss
Moppet.
He
is
not
afraid
of
a
kitten.
This
is
Miss
Moppet
jumping
just
too
late;
she
misses
the
Mouse
and
hits
her
own
head.
She
thinks
it
is
a
very
hard
cupboard!
The
Mouse
watches
Miss
Moppet
from
the
top
of
the
cupboard.
Miss
Moppet
ties
up
her
head
in
a
duster,
and
sits
before
the
fire.
The
Mouse
thinks
she
is
looking
very
ill.
He
comes
sliding
down
the
bell
pull.
Miss
Moppet
looks
worse
and
worse.
The
Mouse
comes
a
little
nearer.
Miss
Moppet
holds
her
poor
head
in
her
paws,
and
looks
at
him
through
a
hole
in
the
duster.
The
Mouse
comes
very
close.
And
then
all
of
a
sudden
Miss
Moppet
jumps
upon
the
Mouse!
And
because
the
Mouse
has
teased
Miss
Moppet,
Miss
Moppet
thinks
she
will
tease
the
Mouse;
which
is
not
at
all
nice
of
Miss
Moppet.
She
ties
him
up
in
the
duster,
and
tosses
it
about
like
a
ball.
But
she
forgot
about
that
hole
in
the
duster;
and
when
she
untied
it
there
was
no
Mouse!
He
has
wriggled
out
and
run
away;
and
he
is
dancing
a
jig
on
top
of
the
cupboard!
