XI.

Puss and Dog went out journeying one day and they found a thruppence.

So they divided and now the trouble was they didn’ know which thing to

buy with a penny ha’penny. Dog said, “Brar Puss, I goin’ to take fe my

quattie to buy a quattie worth of ‘look’.” Puss say, “I won’ buy

‘look’, I wi’ buy cattle!” So the Puss buy a pair of lizard and let

them go on the run, and they run to breed. That is why you see a cat

always after lizard, and a dog is always looking, looking, looking and

doing nothing.
