[0:20] Speaker 1: in Boots Junior and the Good Gray Horse by David
[0:23] Speaker 1: Cory A big tumble. Put on your mittens, you silly kittens,
[0:28] Speaker 1: and you shall have some pie per per per, Oh,
[0:34] Speaker 1: let us have the pie per per per. Missus cat
[0:40] Speaker 1: stood in the doorway of her little house, and again
[0:43] Speaker 1: she called out, put on your mittens, you silly kittens,
[0:47] Speaker 1: and I'll put on my boots, said Puss Junior, running
[0:51] Speaker 1: back to the barn. My toes are almost frozen. Has
[0:56] Speaker 1: the horrid old rat really gone, asked the little kittens.
[1:01] Speaker 1: He has, replied Puss. Didn't you see me catch him
[1:06] Speaker 1: just before he reached the gate? There was so much
[1:09] Speaker 1: snow flying about that we couldn't see very well, said
[1:14] Speaker 1: the gray kitten. Well I caught him all right, replied Puss,
[1:19] Speaker 1: pulling on his boots. But he begged me so hard
[1:23] Speaker 1: to let him go that I did. He promised he'd
[1:26] Speaker 1: never come back if he really is the rat that
[1:30] Speaker 1: ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built.
[1:34] Speaker 1: I don't believe Jack will be very glad to see him,
[1:37] Speaker 1: said the little tabby cat, pulling on her mittens. My
[1:41] Speaker 1: paws are almost frozen, cried the little gray kitten. I'm
[1:46] Speaker 1: so glad we have found our mittens. Goodbye, mousie, cried
[1:52] Speaker 1: the little black kitten, going up to the mouse hole
[1:55] Speaker 1: and peeping in. We all thank you very much for
[1:58] Speaker 1: telling us where are kittens were. We're going into the
[2:02] Speaker 1: house now, for mother has some pie for us. We'll
[2:06] Speaker 1: bring you out a little piece of crust in a
[2:08] Speaker 1: few minutes. Don't forget, she answered, peeping out of her hole.
[2:14] Speaker 1: Bring us three pieces, for I have two little children
[2:17] Speaker 1: who are very fond of pie crust. You be sure
[2:21] Speaker 1: to save a little piece of crust, said the black
[2:24] Speaker 1: kitty to the tabby kit. And you too, he said,
[2:29] Speaker 1: turning to the gray kitten. Then we'll have three pieces.
[2:35] Speaker 1: Let's close the barn door, said Puss, before they started
[2:39] Speaker 1: off for the house. The little mouse may freeze if
[2:42] Speaker 1: we leave it open. It was a very big barn
[2:46] Speaker 1: door that ran on little iron wheels, and it wasn't
[2:49] Speaker 1: easy to move. Push, cried Puss, bracing his feet against
[2:55] Speaker 1: the side of the barn. We can't push any harder,
[3:00] Speaker 1: cried the three little kittens. Try again, said Puss. Now
[3:05] Speaker 1: all together, heave ho, Heave ho. The big door began
[3:11] Speaker 1: to move. Push, cried Puss. It's beginning to move. The
[3:17] Speaker 1: three little kittens did their best, and pretty soon the
[3:21] Speaker 1: little wheels went round and round, faster and faster, until
[3:25] Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the big door bumped into the
[3:28] Speaker 1: other end of the doorway, sending Puss Junior and the
[3:31] Speaker 1: three little kittens head over heels into the snow. End
[3:36] Speaker 1: of chapter fifteen.
