Two Little Kittens by Jane Taylor Two little kittens, one stormy night, Began to quarrel, and then to fight; One had a mouse, the other had none, And that was the way the quarrel begun. "I'll have that mouse," said the bigger cat; "You'll have that mouse? We'll see about that!" "I will have that mouse," said the elder son; "You shan't have the mouse," said the little one. I told you before, 'twas a stormy night When these two little kittens began to fight; The old woman seized her sweeping broom, And swept the two kittens right out of the room. The ground was covered with frost and snow, And the two little kittens had nowhere to go; So they laid them down on the mat at the door, While the old woman finished sweeping the floor. Then the two little kittens, when the storm was o'er, Crept in as quiet as mice to the kitchen floor; For they found it was better, that stormy night, To lie down and sleep than to quarrel and fight.
