The Story of Miss Moppet

	This is a Pussy called Miss Moppet; she thinks she has heard a mouse!
	This is the Mouse peeping out behind the cupboard and making fun of Miss Moppet. He is not afraid of a kitten.
	This is Miss Moppet jumping just too late; she misses the Mouse and hits her own head.
	She thinks it is a very hard cupboard!
	The Mouse watches Miss Moppet from the top of the cupboard.
	Miss Moppet ties up her head in a duster and sits before the fire.
	The Mouse thinks she is looking very ill. He comes sliding down the bellpull.
	Miss Moppet looks worse and worse. The Mouse comes a little nearer.
	Miss Moppet holds her poor head in her paws and looks at him through a hole in the duster. The Mouse comes VERY close.
	And then all of a sudden — Miss Moppet jumps upon the Mouse!
	And because the Mouse has teased Miss Moppet — Miss Moppet thinks she will tease the Mouse, which is not at all nice of Miss Moppet.
	She ties him up in the duster and tosses it about like a ball.
	But she forgot about that hole in the duster; and when she untied it — there was no Mouse!
	He has wriggled out and run away; and he is dancing a jig on top of the cupboard!
