"Yes,"said Snappy,"We followed it over this and that,and over things both round and flat,and over thins both small and tall,And then!--over the garden wall."

"Where there was a house,"said Snippy,"All full of flat flowers and the funniest trees,with copy-cat mice and a trap full of cheese!"

"A trap full of cheese!"cried Mother Mouse.

"Yes,"laughed Father Mouse,"But you know where there's cheese,why there am I,so--"

"So,of course he saved us,"said Snippy.

"Yes,of course he did,"said Snappy.

"And,"said Snippy and Snappy,"We'll never Go near a house or a mouse trap again."

And Snippy and Snappy never did,so of course they didn't get caught and lived happily ever,ever,ever after.
