A Hungry Cat, who had tried in vain to find
a Mouse for her supper, at last caught a
young Cock.
"You are a noisy creature," she said to
him.
"You have lived long enough. You disturb
every one in the house by your loud crowing
in the morning."
"You are mistaken," answered the Cock; "I
disturb no one. I crow to wake
the family.
They would not know when to get up but for
me."
"Never mind," said the Cat; "don't trouble
yourself to make excuses; I have had no break-
fast, and no dinner; I shall eat you for
my
supper."
Then, before he could say another
word,
she began to eat him.
