Dick Whittington and his Cat (5)

Dick Whittington and his Cat (5)

After the merchant had left from the city Dick was on his own again with the mice and rats crawling over him by night.


And the the cook being even nastier in the day because there was no-one to stop her.

At last Dick could bear it no longer.
Dick decided to run away.

He walked away for a while and then sat down on the street to rest.

While he was sitting, the bells of all the churches began to chime.

As they rang, it seemed that they were saying over and over :
" Turn again Dick Whittington," " Lord Mayor of London "

" Lord Mayor of London. Goodness, gracious, gosh " Dick astonished. 
 
" If I’m going to be Lord Mayor of London I’d better stay.  I’ll put up with nasty cook and the scurrying mice and rats. When I’m mayor I’ll show her! "

So back he went.
