Title: The Cat The Cock and The Young Mouse

A very young mouse, who had never seen anything of the world, almost came to grief the very first time he ventured out. And this is the story he told his mother about his adventures. 


"I was strolling along very peaceably  when, just as I turned the corner into the next yard, I saw two strange creatures. One of them had a very kind and gracious look, but other was the most fearful monster you can imagine. You should have seen him.

"On top of his head an  in front of his neck hung pieces of raw red meat.he walked about restlessly, tearing up the ground with his toes and beating his arms savagely against his side. The moment he caught sight of me he opened his pointed mouth as if to swallow me, and then he let out a piercing roar that frightened me almost to dead"

Can you guess who it was that our young mouse was trying to describe to his mother? It was nobody but the Barnyard Cock and the first one the little Mouse had ever seen."If it had not been for that terrible monster,"the mouse went on,"I should have made the acquaintances of the pretty creature, who look so good and gentle. He had thick, velvety fur, a meek face, and look that was very modest, though his eyes where bright and shining.As he looked at me he waved his fine long tail and smiled.

"I am sure he was just about to speak to me  when the monster I have told you about lrt out a screaming yell and I ran for my life"."My son ," said the Mother Mouse," that gentle creatures you saw was non other then the cat.Under his kindly appearance, he bears a grudge against every one of us.The other was nothing but the bird who wouldn't harm you in least.As for the cat, he eats us.So be thankful, my Child,that you escaped with your life,and,as long as you live, never judge people by their looks."

Do not trust alone to outward appearances.
