Miss moppet is a kitten and one day she thought she heard a mouse.The mouse was peeping out from behind the cupboard,and was making fun of her.He was not afraid of a kitten. Miss Moppet jumped just a little to late; She hit her head on the cupboard and missed the mouse. She thought that the cupboard was very hard.
The mouse watched Miss moppet from the top of the cupboard. Miss Moppet tied up her head in a duster and sat be for the fire.The mouse thought she looked very ill.He came sliding down the bell pull.miss moppet was looking worse and worse.The mouse went a little closer.
Miss Moppet held her poor head in her paws, and looked at him through a hole in the duster. The mouse went very close. Then all of a sudden Miss Moppet jumped on top of the mouse !Because the mouse had teased Miss Moppet, she thought that she would tease the mouse; which was not at all nice of Miss Moppet. she tied him up in the duster, and tossed it about like a ball.But she for got about the hole in the duster ,and when she untied it the mouse was not there !he had wiggled out and run away; and he was dancing a jig on top of the cupboard !
Once upon a time there were three kittens and their names were Mittens, Tom kitten and Moppet. They liked rolling around in the dirt on the doorstep. One day their mother Tabitha Twichit was expecting some visitors. So she took them inside and washed there faces then she brushed their fur then she combed their whiskers. Last of all she got out some pinafores for Mittens and Moppet. Then she took apart the whole draw to find something for her son Tom finely she found some shorts and a shirt but the buttons came off. So she sowed them back on. Then she told them,”now go outside and play. Remember to walk on your hind legs, and stay away from the puddle ducks”. Then she sent them outside so the at she could clean the house and get ready for the guests. Moppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily and presently they trod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses when they stood up there were several green smears! Then Moppet said ,” lets climb up the rockery and sit on the garden wall”. They turned the pinafores back to front and with a skip and a jump they hopped up on top of the garden wall.when their mother saw them she was displeased and said ” I’m expecting fine company and you are not fit to be seen.” And she sent them straight to bed. When the visitors arrived she asked them to sit. She said that Moppet, Mittens and Tom were in bed sick with the measles which was quite the contrary with all the nose and banging coming from upstairs. And as for the puddle ducks they lost the clothes in the pond when they went swimming and have never found them again.

Mr Jeremy Fisher
Mr Jeremy Fisher is a toad who lives in a house near a pond. The story starts with Mr Jeremy Fisher deciding to go digging in the mud for some worms so that he can catch some minnow fish for his dinner. He was hoping to catch lots of fish so that he could invite his friends to join him for dinner.
Putting on his rain coat, Mr Jeremy Fisher headed out to find his boat where he kept it tied to a water plant in the middle of the pond.
Mr Jeremy Fisher was fishing for about an hour in the rain but he didn’t catch anything. He said to himself “I should like some lunch”. He settled back to enjoy his lunch of butterfly sandwiches while he waited for the rain to stop.
After lunch, Mr Jeremy Fisher pushed his boat out a little bit and resumed fishing. The float bobbed and Mr Jeremy Fisher cried out that he had caught a minnow., and he pulled sharply on his rod. Mr Jeremy Fisher was disappointed to find out that it wasn’t a minnow, but was a stickleback, covered with spines. As the stickleback jumped back into the water, other fish laughed at him.
While Mr Jeremy Fisher was sucking his fingers, a large trout came and caught him by the foot and dived down to the bottom of the pond. Luckily the trout didn’t like the taste of Mr Jeremy Fisher’s macintosh and spat him out. Mr Jeremy Fisher swam as fast as he could for the edge of the pond.
Mr Jeremy Fisher headed home as quickly as he could. His friends, Sir Isaac Newton the newt and Mr Alderman Ptolemy the tortoise came to dinner. Although they didn’t have any minnows, they enjoyed a nice dinner of roasted grasshoppers with lady-bird sauce.
