ANIMALS AND THEIR DOINGS




MOTHER STORIES




Ding, dong bell,
Pussy's in the well!
Who put her in?
Little Tommy Lin.
Who pulled her out?
 Little Johnny Stout.
What a naughty boy was that
To drown the poor, poor pussy-cat
Who never did him any harm
But killed the mice in his father's barn.




I like little pussy, her coat is so warm,
And if I don't hurt her she'll do me no
harm;
So I'll not pull her tail, nor drive her away,
But pussy and I very gently will play.
