Uncle Mouser said, “Thirteen stripes and forty-eight stars.”
They begged him to tell a story about the flag, but he only said again, adding a line to make a real verse,
“Thirteen stripes and forty-eight stars,
Come, make this glorious flag of ours.”
In less time than it takes to tell it, Old Uncle Mouser and Mother Kit-Cat, and Twinkle Toes, were measuring the bunting to make a great big flag.
The Three Little Kittens got scissors that went “snip, snip, snip.”
Now what do you suppose they were doing?
They were making a flag of red, white, and blue.
They were making a flag to wave outside the door.
