Let us creep under this corn in the field. You will not mind if I go to sleep, will you, Mew-Mew?"
"Oh dear, no," said the cat.

IN THE CORN-FIELD
"I should like some food before I go to sleep," Bow-Wow said to himself. "I do not at all know where to get any.
I must go without my supper for once."
This he did, and was soon fast asleep.
As for poor Mew-Mew, she had two hours' good work, before she could get rid of the pain in her paws, and make them look white, as they did before she set out.
Then she made herself into a ball, and slept well till the sun was up.
