The Three Little Kittens were at home, and they cried in turn, “May I go? Ma, may I go?”
Old Mother Kit-Cat opened the door herself, and in waltzed Twinkle Toes with his travelling bag.
They made him welcome you may be sure, and Dot and Tot and Trot cried,
“You’re a story-teller, we suppose,
Do tell us a story, Twinkle Toes.”
Then Twinkle Toes jumped right over the travelling bag, with the letters “T-T” upon it, and said,
“To have a story you are bound,
We’ll see if any can be found!”
He opened his travelling bag, and took out another travelling bag, a little smaller. He opened the second bag and took out another, and another.
