"Oh, Sheep," sobbed the kitten, "I have forgotten how to talk

"Never mind, Kitty Cat," said the Sheep; "I will teach you to talk.

cried again.

kitten-talk. I try and I try, and all I can say is, M-m-m-bow!"

"Never mind, Kitty Cat," said the Horse; "I will teach you to talk.

Listen to this: M-m-m-neigh!"

"No," said the kitten; "that's not the way to talk kitten-talk." And she

talk kitten-talk." And she cried again.
