Buzz, the cat, was feasting in the garden. He had a fine bowl of bread and milk, which one of the children had left there. The moon shone brightly, and the cat purred aloud for joy. All at once he cried, " What a night to dance, if there were only a fiddle!" The wise old mouse sat at the door of his hole, with one eye on the bread and milk. "I will teach you how to dance without a fiddle," cried he. The cat jumped up quickly. " Oh, do show me! " he shouted. The. mouse brought out some ^jretty paper boots with tassels. " Put these on," said he; "they are fairy ;' This made the cat laugh, and he hastened to draw the boots over his paws. But there was wax in them, and it tickled his toes. His feet began to go up and down. Then he hopped high in the air, and skipped and spun all about the garden till he was quite out of breath. "Oh, do stop me," he screamed; "take off these dreadful boots!".
