When a cheeky mouse won't stop teasing her, Miss Moppet the kitten comes up with a sly plan to get close enough to catch him.
This is a Pussy called Miss Moppet, she thinks she has heard a mouse!
Ini adalah seekor Kucing bernama Nona Moppet, ia mengira mendengar suara seekor tikus!
This is the Mouse peeping out behind the cupboard, and making fun of Miss Moppet. He is not afraid of a kitten.
Ini adalah Tikus yang mengintip dari balik lemari, dan menggoda Nona Moppet. Ia tidak takut pada seekor anak kucing.
This is Miss Moppet jumping just too late; she misses the Mouse and hits her own head.
Ini adalah Nona Moppet yang melompat terlambat sedikit; ia gagal menangkap Tikus dan malah membentur kepalanya sendiri.
She thinks it is a very hard cupboard!
Ia mengira lemari itu sangat keras!
The Mouse watches Miss Moppet from the top of the cupboard.
Tikus mengamati Nona Moppet dari atas lemari.
Miss Moppet ties up her head in a duster, and sits before the fire.
Nona Moppet membalut kepalanya dengan sehelai lap, dan duduk di depan perapian.
The Mouse thinks she is looking very ill. He comes sliding down the bell-pull.
Tikus mengira ia terlihat sangat sakit. Ia turun meluncur di sepanjang tali bel.
Miss Moppet looks worse and worse. The Mouse comes a little nearer.
Nona Moppet terlihat semakin parah. Tikus mendekat sedikit lagi.
Miss Moppet holds her poor head in her paws, and looks at him through a hole in the duster. The Mouse comes _very_ close.
Nona Moppet memegangi kepalanya yang malang dengan kedua cakarnya, dan menatapnya melalui sebuah lubang di lap itu. Tikus mendekat _sangat_ dekat.
And then all of a sudden—Miss Moppet jumps upon the Mouse!
Dan kemudian tiba-tiba—Nona Moppet melompat menerkam Tikus itu!
And because the Mouse has teased Miss Moppet—Miss Moppet thinks she will tease the Mouse; which is not at all nice of Miss Moppet.
Dan karena Tikus telah menggodanya—Nona Moppet berpikir ia akan menggoda Tikus itu; yang sama sekali tidak baik dari Nona Moppet.
She ties him up in the duster, and tosses it about like a ball.
Ia membungkus Tikus itu dalam lap, dan melemparkannya seperti bola.
But she forgot about that hole in the duster; and when she untied it—there was no Mouse!
Tetapi ia lupa tentang lubang di lap itu; dan ketika ia membukanya kembali—tidak ada Tikus di sana!
He has wriggled out and run away; and he is dancing a jig on the top of the cupboard!
Ia telah menggeliat keluar dan lari pergi; dan ia sedang menari-nari riang di atas lemari itu!
