The Sandman did not notice what had happened, and he ran on leaving the Three Little Kittens behind him.
They saw a little wee house in the woods and ran and knocked on the door.
Old Mother Catastrophe, the oldest Cat in the world stuck her head out of the window and called,
“Did you happen to have a mishap?
You sadly disturbed me from my nap.”
The Three Little Kittens answered,
“Old Mother Catastrophe, kind and good,
We are Three Little Kittens lost in the wood.”
Old Mother Catastrophe always knew what to do, she opened her door and hugged and kissed the Three Little Kittens and said to the delight of all, “NOW FOR THE COOKIE JAR.”
She put a cookie jar on the floor and the Three Little Kittens put in their three little paws without saying “By your leave, or thank you, or if you please.”
