"To me that is utterly foolish. "Children are often just as foolish. They keep asking the time. They want to know if it is time for dinner. "Now I know when it is meal time. They don't have to look at their watches or their clocks in order to tell me." "You must be very smart," said Mrs. Cook, the yellow cat. She was sometimes called Mrs. Cook and sometimes Mrs. Chef for chef is a fine name for a cook. The yellow cat lived in the same ST She Gazed Upon Her Family. house as Tiger Cat, and she belonged to the cook. That was why she had been given her name. "I can tell when it is mealtime, for I can smell the food cooking," said Uie yellow cat. "I am always upstairs in the house," said Tiger Cat, "when it is mealtime, meal-time, but just as the meal is about to be served I know it and I come down the stairs." So the two cats talked, but one day when he went downstairs for dinner he didn't see Mrs. Yellow Cat. There was no cat at all no Mrs. Yellow Cat in her usual place by the stove. But after dinner he found the reason rea-son wliy. Up in a wardrobe, in the cook's room, sat Mrs. Yellow Cat blinking happily as she gazed upon her family of little baby kittens 1 They were more important than dinner. |
