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.
