It has made me so afraid.Tell me dear, what is was you saw in the garde, mother mouse said anxiously.The little mouse told his mother, I saw two things in the garden. One looked so kind and gentle. It was a very pretty thing with a long tale. It had velvet clothes nice light green eyes. It was coming towards me in such a kind way. Suddenly, a big yellow legged monster came up between me and the nice thing. It looked very terrible. It had a red hat on its head. It had a pointed yellow mouth. Then, it beat its sides again and again and opened its mouth crying in a fierce voice, clok a doodle do cock a doodle do.Mother mouse smiled and said, Oh dear, its lucky. Youve got home safely. The big yellow legged thing was only a cock. It woldnt have done you any harm. But the thing with the velvet clothes that you thought so kind was a cat, the cruel murderer of our folk.
