A FOOLISH MOUSE.

This is the tale of wee little mouse
Who lived in hole in wee ht'io

And crcpt out one day, and in manner
pared to wink at lordiy cat on a

The cat made leap, but twas all IN
vain,
For mousic was soon in his hole again.
But alas! the danger once over, S'r
Ran the risk again, and nc'cr rachod
his house.
