  Open quotation WHO’S afraid of a cat?” said he; “I might be afraid if I were a mouse, Or even if I were a rat: But as I’m a bird I give you my word I’m not afraid of a cat.” A cat and her kits came down on the scene, Five birds flew over the rail; Our hero was caught As quick as a thought, And didn’t he alter his tale! “You’ve made a mistake, Mister Cat,” said he; “You must please let me go, Mister Cat. I’m not at all nice, I don’t taste like mice: You’d much better have a young rat.” Said the cat, “It’s no use, You may be a goose, I’ll not let you go for all that.” |
