SNOWBALL AND THE LOBSTER. 



As, the two kittens were -vir'alking across the kitchen floor to the 

 door i Snowball 'saw Tom's basket, and went iip to see what was m 

 it. With his nose he pushed up the lid of the basket. He found 



something alive under it. He turned around to call Kitty to come, 

 and in doing so his tail fell across the now open basket. 



There was a cross old lobster inside the basket. He did not like 

 to have Snowball's tail in his face; the hairs on it tickled his nose. 

 So he just caught hold of the tail with his pincers. He gave it a 

 strong nip, and would/not let it go.
