Three little mice crept out to see what they could find to have for tea, (For they were dainty, saucy mice, and liked to nibble something nice), But Pussy's eyes so big and bright soon sent them scampering off in a fright.

But savage dogs, disposed to bite, these cats declined to encounter in fight.
