The Country Mouse (7)

The Country Mouse (7)

  Sorry to miss the chance of good fight, Abner followed Monte down to the floor where they hid beneath a chair.

  There, not ten paces away, lay a big balck cat, asleep, with its back to them.

  " Oh boy ! " thought Abner.
  " Now I'll get my fight. "
  And he started off toward the cat.

  But Monte pulled him back sharply.

  " Are you out of your mind ? " he whispered.
  " That's the cat ! "
