'Kitten-Cat, wake up, wake up!' quacked the Ducks. 'The sky is so blue, the water so cool! Won't you come and watch us swim?'
Kitten-Cat opened one sleepy eye. 'No Ducks,' said Kitten-Cat. 'Not today. I want to sleep some more.'
'Wake up, Kitten-Cat,' miaowed Mamma-Cat. 'It's a lovely day today. Guess what our Little-Girl has put out for your breakfast!A...'
But Kitten-Cat did not wait to hear it all. 'Oh no Mamma-Cat,' he grumbled. 'Do let me sleep some more!'
And Kitten-Cat twitched his tail and tucked his nose into his paws and went to sleep some more.
Now Little-Girl had put down a fresh saucer of creamy milk for Kitten-Cat, white and frothy and still warm from the cow, exactly the way he liked it.
But Kitten-Cat wanted to sleep some more!
The milk lay in the little dish beside the kitchen door - till who should come by but the big brown dog, hot from a romp in the garden and longing for a drink. He lapped up the milk in Kitten-Cat's little dish.
'Thank you, Kitten-Cat,' barked the big brown dog, running off to play in the garden.
Kitten-Cat opened his eyes.
Kitten-Cat sat up.
Kitten-Cat ran to his little saucer by the kitchen door.
And the little saucer was empty.
Poor little Kitten-Cat - he was awake at last!
Wake Up, Kitten-Cat
