THE CAT, THE COCK, AND THE FOX.

HERE was once upon a time a
" cat and a cock, who agreed to
live together, so they built them
a hut on a dunghill, and the cock
kept house while the cat went

 

foraging for sausages.

One day the fox came running up: “Open the
door, little cock!” eried she-—‘ Pussy told me not
to, little fox!” said the cock.—‘‘Open the door,
little cock!” repeated the fox.—‘‘I tell you, pussy
told me not to, little fox!”—At last, however, the
cock grew tired of always saying “No!” so he
opened the door, and in the fox rushed, seized him
in her jaws, and ran off with him. Then the cock
eriedl—

“ Help! pussy-pussy !
That foxy hussy

Has got me tight
With all her might.
