The miller he grinds his corn. his corn !;
And Little Boy Blue comes winding his

a little bird In a tree nearby was sing
ing this song as Puss Junior came in
sight of the old mill. where the water
turned the mill wheel over and over.
and the little silver fishes swan around
and around in the quiet pond.
And as soon as the rusty, dusty miller
saw Puss Junior he stepped out of the
old mill and said
od-day, my good Sir Cat. What
brings you to my old mill?" Now of
course Puss had no real reason for com
ing; be was just travelling along, you
Know, seeking adventure, so he replied
i have no corn for you to grind, my
good miller. But viii you sit down for
while and talk? I'm traveller. seek

It is much better to be contented withs

the old miller busted off his cap and
patted the gray cat that came out of
the mill to sit by his side. And wasn't
1t strange? She never took any notice
Of Puss Junior at all. / guess she
thought a cat with boots and spurs
was not an ordinary cat, and maybe she
was right in that, for Puss was very
different from the cats you see every day
in houses and barns.
