10              Two Little Kittens










                      Two little kittens

                      One stormy night,

                    Began to quarrel,

                      And then to fight.


                                    One had a mouse

                                    And the other had none;

                                    And that was the way

                                    The quarrel had begun.



                                                               ‘I’ll have that mouse,’

                                                               Said the bigger one.

                                                               ‘You’ll have that mouse?

                                                               You’ll have none!’


                                                                           ‘I will have that mouse,’

                                                                           Said the tortoise-shell;

                                                                           And, spitting and scratching,
                                                                           On her sister she fell.




                            I’ve told you before

                            ’Twas a stormy night,

                            When these two kittens

                            Began to fight.




                     stormy : with strong winds and                      tortoise-shell : black, brown,
                            heavy rain or snow                                  orange and white (fur)

                                                                         ’Twas : it was
