“Here is a friend that everyone knows,
Our dear little, queer little Twinkle Toes.”
The Three Little Kittens made a bow and said,
“Old Shadow, answer the Three Little Kittens,
Did you ever wear our three pairs of mittens?”
At that, the strangest thing happened, Old Shadow ran into his hole calling,
“You speak of mittens, you scare me so,
I do not know which way to go.”
The Kittens all ran after him.
The hole was funnel-shaped, and the passage-way grew smaller, and smaller, and smaller, and wound in and out.
