Make up some cookies and rich pies too.”
The Three Little Kittens went hurrying and scurrying into the kitchen.
They ran this way, and that way, cooking tea and coffee and mixing up cookies and pies.
The Three Little Foxes wearing three pairs of mittens danced up to the window and said,
“You cannot cook, for so we’ve heard,
Three Little Kittens, ’tis quite absurd.”
The Three Little Kittens were so surprised that they dropped their three little spoons into their three little bowls, but the Little Old Man of the Fire said, quite as though nothing had happened.
“MOST ANYTHING YOU’LL LEARN TO DO,
IF YOU WORK TO MAKE THE WISH COME TRUE.”
Now the Three Little Foxes danced this way, and that way, and came up again to the kitchen window.
