<h2 id="id00578" style="margin-top: 4em">THE STORY OF MISS MOPPET</h2>
<p id="id00579" style="margin-top: 2em">THIS is a Pussy called Miss Moppet, she thinks she has heard a mouse!</p>
<p id="id00580">THIS is the Mouse peeping out behind the cupboard, and making fun of<br/>
Miss Moppet. He is not afraid of a kitten.<br/></p>
<p id="id00581">THIS is Miss Moppet jumping just too late; she misses the Mouse and hits
her own head.</p>
<p id="id00582">SHE thinks it is a very hard cupboard!</p>
<p id="id00583">THE Mouse watches Miss Moppet from the top of the cupboard.</p>
<p id="id00584">MISS MOPPET ties up her head in a duster, and sits before the fire.</p>
<p id="id00585">THE Mouse thinks she is looking very ill. He comes sliding down the
bell-pull.</p>
<p id="id00586">MISS MOPPET looks worse and worse. The Mouse comes a little nearer.</p>
<p id="id00587">MISS MOPPET holds her poor head in her paws, and looks at him through a
hole in the duster. The Mouse comes VERY close.</p>
<p id="id00588">AND then all of a sudden—Miss Moppet jumps upon the Mouse!</p>
<p id="id00589">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.</p>
<p id="id00590">SHE ties him up in the duster, and tosses it about like a ball.</p>
<p id="id00591">BUT she forgot about that hole in the duster; and when she untied
it—there was no Mouse!</p>
<p id="id00592">HE has wriggled out and run away; and he is dancing a jig on the top of
the cupboard!</p>
<h5 id="id00593">THE END</h5>
