“Who are you?” asked the bunny uncle.
“I am Hickory Dickory Dock, the mouse,” was the answer. “And I am a clock-mouse.”
“A clock-mouse!” exclaimed Uncle Wiggily, in surprise. “I never heard of such a thing.”
“Oh, don’t you remember me? I’m in Mother Goose’s book. This is how it goes:
“‘Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
And down he come,
Hickory Dickory Dock!’”
“Oh, now I remember you,” said Uncle Wiggily. “And so you are a clock-mouse.”
