When he got on his legs again, he flew at Mew-Mew.
One might think they would have killed each other on the spot; but they were not so strong as they had been, and could not fight long.
After they could fight no more, they would not speak a word for half an hour.
Then Mew-Mew, with her kind heart, said, "I am sure I did not mean to hurt you, Bow-Wow!"
And Bow-Wow said, "Let us not think or say any more about it.
It is very sad that we cannot live without cross words and bad blows.
But what are we to do? How are we to live?"
"I wish we were dead," said Mew-Mew.
