Twinkle Toes and the Three Little Kittens were so pleased to see Uncle Mouser, they hugged and kissed him so hard, and jumped about so much, he could not count them to save his life.
He kept saying anxiously, “I hope I have you all here, two, three, or four.”
Old Mother Kit-Cat stood in the doorway looking for them and she said, “Oh Uncle Mouser, your red plush-lined basket is waiting for you.”
She hugged and kissed Twinkle Toes, and the Three Little Kittens and gave them some milk, and put them to bed.
They talked a good deal in their sleep that night and Twinkle Toes said,
“With travelling bags now we have found,
’Tis safe to journey underground,
But very happy are the kittens,
Because I wore my Magic Mittens!”
The Magic Mittens were very busy that night, they dusted everything in Twinkle Toes’ room. They said in a sing-song kind of way.
