"Three Kittens"
Three kittens - one white, one grey, one black -
saw a mouse.
"Flour"
The mouse ran away.
And out of the tin... Out of the tin climbed
three white kittens.
The tree white kittens saw a frog.
The frog hopped away, and out of the pipe...
Out of the pipe crawled three black kittens.
The three black kittens saw...
...a fish!
The fish swam away,
and out of the water...
Out of the water crawled three wet kittens.
The three wet kittens walked home.
On the way, they dried out and became...
And became as they had been:
...white, grey and black!
