LESSON9
KITTY AND MOUSIE

WORD LIST

1. Once there was a little kitty,

White as the snow;

In a barn he used to frolic,

Long time ago.

2. In the barn a little mousie

Ran to and fro;

For she heard the little kitty,

Long time ago.

3. Two black eyes had little kitty,

Black as a crow;

And they spied the little mousie,

Long time ago.

4. Four soft paws had little kitty,

Paws soft as snow;

And they caught the little mousie,

Long time ago.

5. Nine pearl teeth had little kitty,

All in a row;

And they bit the little mousie,

Long time ago.

6. When the teeth bit little mousie,

Mousie cried out “Oh!”

But she slipped away from kitty,

Long time ago.
