      Beatrix Potter's Beloved Tales - Beatrix Potter

      The Tale of

      Tom Kitten

      ONCE upon a time there were three little kittens, and their names were Mittens, Tom Kitten, and Moppet.

      They had dear little fur coats of their own; and they tumbled about the doorstep and played in the dust.

      BUT one day their mother—Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit—expected friends to tea; so she fetched the kittens indoors, to wash and dress them, before the fine company arrived.

      FIRST she scrubbed their faces (this one is Moppet).

      THEN she brushed their fur (this one is Mittens).

      THEN she combed their tails and whiskers (this is Tom Kitten).

      Tom was very naughty, and he scratched.

      MRS. TABITHA dressed Moppet and Mittens in clean pinafores and tuckers; and then she took all sorts of elegant, uncomfortable clothes out of a chest of drawers, in order to dress up her son Thomas.

      TOM KITTEN was very fat, and he had grown; several buttons burst off. His mother sewed them on again.

      WHEN the three kittens were ready, Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out into the garden, to be out of the way while she made hot buttered toast.

      Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind legs. Keep away from the dirty ash-pit, and from Sally Henny Penny, and from the pig-stye and the Puddle-Ducks.

      MOPPET and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently they trod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.

      When they stood up there were several green smears!

      L ET us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall, said Moppet.

      They turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a jump; Moppet’s white tucker fell down into the road.
