"Do you want that pretty blue one?" he asked, with a smile.
"How did you guess?" she answered. "You are a wonderful cat."
"And now," said Puss, when the gown was wrapped up, "let's have a cream puff in the baker's next door, for I'm sure you're hungry."
"You're a wonderful guesser, Sir Puss," she cried, "indeed you are, as well as a most generous little cat."
THE BRAMBLE BUSH MAN
THERE was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise.
He jumped into a bramble bush
And scratched out both his eyes.
And when he found his eyes were out
He cried with grief and pain,
And jumped into another bush
And scratched them in again.
"That's the man I'm looking for," cried little Puss, Junior. "I wonder where he lives. Maybe he can tell me where to find my father."
"You hold your horse while I ask the baker's wife," said the farmer's pretty daughter.
