CAT, OLD MOUSE, AND YOUNG MOUSE. 107% 
OLD MOUSE. 
Take this advice of mine. 
CAT: 
See this delicious gingerbread !— 
This shall be thine, for what I said ; 
And all these sugar-plums so sweet ! 
YOUNG MOUSE. 
What shall I do? Oh, let me go! 
OLD MOUSE. 
My child, I say, do not do so! 
YOUNG MOUSE. 
What evil can we meet ? 
See how nice these things appear ! 
CAT. 
You little rogue! come here! come here! 
YOUNG MOUSE. 
Oh, Mother, help! Oh, give me aid! 
She tears me! Oh, how I’m betrayed! 
OLD MOUSE. 
Tis now too late ;—in vain for help you call ; 
He that won’t take advice, must bear with all!
