One morning, when a little mouse was running across the kitchen floor, a great black cat jumped at her nice long tail. The poor mouse was very sad, and she said to the cat, *Old cat,will you please give me back my beautiful long tail?* *Yes* said the cat, *I shall give you your long tail if you bring me a cup of fresh milk*. So the mouse ran to a fine red cow and said , *Please,kind cow , will you give me a cup of your sweet milk for the cat? If i bring the cat a cup of milk ,she will give me back my nice long tail.* The cow said, *Yes, i shall give me the cat? If I bring her some hay, she will give me some milk for the cat, and the cat will give me back my nice long tail.* The farmer answered, *I shall give
you the hay if you do not eat me my corn.* The mouse promised not to eat the corn and the farmer gave her some hay. She brought it to the cow and cow gave her a cup of milk which she brought to the cat. The cat gave her back her nice long tail , and it made her very happy.
