after a ball & it kept him so busy
that he dident have time to fite
now evry day they put a toy baloon
in the cage & silver king plays with
that instead of trying to tare the
other bares jo peaces.
AIN'T NATUREWONDERFUL!
The Cat
The cat is a lucky dog! Nothing
to do but lay around and keep busy
sleeping and getting his tail caught
under the rocking chair or pa's heel.
The cat is as useful as the buttons
on your coatsleeves. It's so lazy we
wonder where it gets the ambition to
digest its food. The cat wags its tail
when it gets mad. What a conceited
creature the cat is to think it has
the privilege of getting mad when it
has everything 60 easy and soft it
makes a drone bee look busier than a
pair of dice in a livery stable.
There's no more excuse for cats ;
than there are for ear trumpets in a
movie show. If we had our aye aye
we'd see that cats were scarcer than
matches or a four-bit piece the day
before pay day around a newspaper,
if such a thing were possible.
Little boys, you should never pull
a cat's tail. You can't choke a cat
that way.
