52 DOWN COMES POOR DOGGIE. OH! now isn’t this too bad? Miss Puss is such a cunning creature! She had a fancy for the spoon herself; and when the little dog was busy telling her how cleverly he had stolen the spoon from the dish, what did she do but give the little dog a great push, when down he fell off his stool, and away she scampered with the spoon herself! Oh! what a cunning, naughty cat! She had better run fast; for the dog has caught sight of his mistress’ stick, and will be after her directly.
