"Oh—h—h!" cried Bow-Wow, for the poor little dog felt very ill.
Then the bad Mew-Mew put up her paw and gave Bow-Wow such a blow that it made him cry loud again with pain.
The lady came into the room to find out why the dog had called out.
Then Mew-Mew, who, to tell the truth, knew that she had not done what was right, crept out by the open door. (See picture on page 2.)
She took care to keep out of the way for the rest of the day.
It was only when it was quite dark, and the lady had gone to bed, that she dared to come into the room again, and take her place before the fire.
