Sure enough, there was a big parade, and all the animals were marching, right foot, left foot.
The Three Little Kittens lost no time joining them, you may be sure.
Because many of the animals had flags, they cried, “Oh we wish we had a flag too.”
Twinkle Toes did not think of his Magic Mittens that minute, they were all so excited.
They marched a mile through the woods and back again, and went with a hop, and a skip, and a bound, back to their little wee house at the edge of the woods.
To their surprise they found Old Mother Kit-Cat had gotten back ahead of them, and there she sat rocking to and fro crying, “Oh dear, oh dear.”
“Get the doctor,” shouted Uncle Mouser.
Twinkle Toes said, “Get the camphor.”
Old Mother Kit-Cat rocked to and fro, crying, “Oh me, oh my.”
