"I wish you could think of a story to tell me now," your Aunt
Amy said. "I am just in the mood for hearing one."
"It is the hardest thing in the world to stand up and begin telling a
story without anything to start one going," Mrs. Mouser said
thoughtfully, as she brushed her whiskers with her paw. "After you once
get into it, of course, they come easy enough. How would it do if I should
explain why it is that cats catch mice?"
"Was there ever a time when they didn't catch mice?" your Aunt Amy
asked, surprised for the third time.
"Oh, yes indeed," Mrs. Mouser said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"All cats used to be good friends with the mice, once upon a time, and
it happened that because an old Mrs. Pussy, who lived in the city, didn't
have anything in the house to eat, the cats took up catching mice. You see it
was in this way: A cat that had always lived in the country, made up her mind
one day to go and see her cousin in the city, so she put on her bonnet and
shawl, wrapped some fried fish in a paper, and started.
"When she got there her cousin saw the fish, and it made her ashamed
because she hadn't anything in the house to offer the visitor, so she asked,
turning up her nose considerably:
"Do you cats in the country eat fish?' and Mrs. Pussy replied:
"Why, yes, of course we do; don't you?"
"Certainly not; it is thought to be a sign of ill-breeding to eat such
vulgar food,' and then remembering that she could not offer her cousin the
least little thing, she said, never stopping to think very much about it. We
eat mice here. They are delicious; you would be surprised to know what a
delicate flavor they have."
That surprised the country cousin, and nothing would do but that she must go
right out hunting for mice. Of course some one had to go with her, and then
it was that the city cat found she hadn't made any such a very great mistake
after all, for mice or rats, take them any way you please, cooked or raw, are
very nice indeed
