Beatrix Potter 
The Story of Miss Moppet 
[Illustrated]

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 bell-pull. 
 
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!!
