“To be polite, we all will try,

Dear Little Curly-Tails, good bye.”

The little Curly-Tails answered,

“Come again to have a play,

Call on us another day.”

Old Mother Kit-Cat stood in the doorway looking for them.

She said,

“Dear Little Kittens,

You should wear your mittens.”

Sure enough, their paws were cold as cold could be.
