_Frederick._ I saw a rat; and I saw the dog try to get it.
_Ann._ And did he get it?
_Frederick._ No: but the cat did.
_Ann._ My cat?
_Frederick._ No: it was the old cat.
_Ann._ How did she get it? Did she run for it?
_Frederick._ No: it is not the way:—she was hid—the rat ran out; and,
pop! she had him.
_Ann._ A dog can run.
_Frederick._ Yes; but a cat is sly.
_Ann._ The kit can not get a rat.
_Frederick._ No; she can not yet; but she can get a fly. I saw her get
a fly.
