The Tale of Tom Kitten

Once upon a time there were three little kittens, and their names were Mittens, Tom Kitten, and Moppet.

They had dear little fur coats of their own; and they tumbled about the doorstep and played in the dust.



Mrs. Tabitha dressed Moppet and Mittens in clean pinafores and tuckers; and then she took all sorts of elegant uncomfortable clothes out of a chest of drawers, in order to dress up her son Thomas.

Tom Kitten was very fat, and he had grown; several buttons burst off. His mother sewed them on again.


What Did Jaffa think?

This lovely story will last forever .....

The naughty little kittens who wouldn't keep their clothes clean is a favourite of mine, but kittens really shouldn't be dressed in smocks and trousers !

I think if I had a coat like Tom's my buttons would pop off too...
