THE CAT AND THE GOOSE
Once upon a time, White Goose invited Gray Cat to supper.
White Goose baked some cakes for supper.
She baked one hundred cakes.
White Goose kept two cakes for herself.
She gave the rest to Gray Cat.
Gray Cat ate all his cakes.
He said, “Dear me! I am still hungry. Have you anything more to eat?”
“I have only my two cakes,” said White Goose.
So Gray Cat ate the two cakes.
Then Gray Cat said, “I am still hungry. Have you anything more to eat?”
“I don’t see anything more,” said White Goose.
“I think I shall eat you, then,” said Gray Cat.
Gray Cat walked down the road till he met Little Duck.
“You are a bad cat to eat White Goose,” said Little Duck.
“White Goose, indeed! I think I shall eat you, too,” said Gray Cat.
Gray Cat met Big Pig.
“Little Duck, indeed! I think I shall eat you, too,” said Gray Cat.
And—slippety, slip, down went Big Pig.
Gray Cat walked down the road till he met Black Bear.
“You are a bad cat to eat Big Pig,” said Black Bear.
“Big Pig, indeed! I think I shall eat you, too,” said Gray Cat.
And—slippety, slip, down went Black Bear.
“You are a bad cat to eat Black Bear,” said Brown Lion.
“Black Bear, indeed! I think I shall eat you, too,” said Gray Cat.
And—slippety, slip down went Brown Lion.
On and on walked Gray Cat till he met Red Hen.
“You are a bad cat to eat Brown Lion,” said Red Hen.
“Brown Lion, indeed! I think I shall eat you, too,” said Gray Cat.
And—slippety, slip, down went Red Hen.
It was very dark there.
Red Hen looked all around.
Then, snip, snap, snip, snap went her scissors.
She cut a hole in Gray Cat’s coat and jumped out.
Then out walked Black Bear.
Then out walked Big Pig.
Then out walked Little Duck.
Then out walked White Goose.
And Gray Cat sat all day, sewing up the hole in his coat.
