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 the top of
the cupboard!
THE END
