Capa de The Story of Miss Moppet

This is a Pussy called Miss Moppet, she thinks she has heard a mouse!

Esta é uma gatinha chamada Miss Moppet; ela acha que ouviu um camundongo!

This is the Mouse peeping out behind the cupboard, and making fun of Miss Moppet. He is not afraid of a kitten.

Este é o Camundongo espiando por trás do armário, fazendo pouco caso de Miss Moppet. Ele não tem medo de uma gatinha.

This is Miss Moppet jumping just too late; she misses the Mouse and hits her own head.

Esta é Miss Moppet pulando tarde demais; ela erra o Camundongo e bate a própria cabeça.

She thinks it is a very hard cupboard!

Ela acha que o armário é muito duro!

The Mouse watches Miss Moppet from the top of the cupboard.

O Camundongo observa Miss Moppet do alto do armário.

Miss Moppet ties up her head in a duster, and sits before the fire.

Miss Moppet amarra a cabeça num pano de prato e senta-se diante do fogo.

The Mouse thinks she is looking very ill. He comes sliding down the bell-pull.

O Camundongo acha que ela parece estar muito doente. Ele desce escorregando pelo cordão da campainha.

Miss Moppet looks worse and worse. The Mouse comes a little nearer.

Miss Moppet parece cada vez pior. O Camundongo se aproxima um pouco mais.

Miss Moppet holds her poor head in her paws, and looks at him through a hole in the duster. The Mouse comes _very_ close.

Miss Moppet segura sua pobre cabeça entre as patas e o observa por um buraco no pano de prato. O Camundongo se aproxima muito.

And then all of a sudden—Miss Moppet jumps upon the Mouse!

E então, de repente, Miss Moppet pula em cima do Camundongo!

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.

E porque o Camundongo provocou Miss Moppet, Miss Moppet decide que vai provocar o Camundongo; o que não é nada gentil da parte de Miss Moppet.

She ties him up in the duster, and tosses it about like a ball.

Ela o amarra no pano de prato e o joga de um lado para o outro como se fosse uma bola.

But she forgot about that hole in the duster; and when she untied it—there was no Mouse!

Mas ela esqueceu daquele buraco no pano de prato; e quando o desamarrou, não havia Camundongo nenhum!

He has wriggled out and run away; and he is dancing a jig on the top of the cupboard!

Ele havia se esgueirado para fora e fugido; e está dançando uma jiga no alto do armário!
