The old woman took
The sweeping broom,
And swept them both
Right out of the room.
The ground was covered
With frost and snow,
They had lost the mouse,
And had nowhere to go.
So they lay and shivered
Beside the door,
Till the old woman finished
Sweeping the floor.
And then they crept in
As quiet as mice,
All wet with snow
And as cold as ice.
They found it much better
That stormy night,
To lie by the fire,
Than to quarrel and fight.
