THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN
THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN
by Beatrix Potter
Once upon a time there were three little kittens, and their names were
Mittens, Tom Kitten, and Moppet. They had dear little fur coats of their
own; and they tumbled about the doorstep and played in the dust.
But one day their mother—Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit—expected friends to
tea; so she fetched the kittens indoors, to wash and dress them, before the
fine company arrived.
First she scrubbed their faces (this one is Moppet).
Then she brushed their fur, (this one is Mittens).
Then she combed their tails and whiskers (this is Tom Kitten).
Tom was very naughty, and he scratched.
Mrs. Tabitha dressed Moppet and Mittens in clean pinafores and tuckers;
and then she took all sorts of elegant uncomfortable clothes out of a
chest of drawers, in order to dress up her son Thomas.
Tom Kitten was very fat, and he had grown; several buttons burst off.
His mother sewed them on again. When the three kittens were ready,
Mrs. Tabitha unwisely turned them out into the garden, to be out of the
way while she made hot buttered toast.
"Now keep your frocks clean, children! You must walk on your hind
legs. Keep away from the dirty ashpit, and from Sally Henny Penny,
and from the pigstye and the PuddleDucks."
Moppet and Mittens walked down the garden path unsteadily. Presently
they trod upon their pinafores and fell on their noses.
When they stood up there were several green smears!
"Let us climb up the rockery, and sit on the garden wall," said Moppet.
They turned their pinafores back to front, and went up with a skip and a
jump; Moppet's white tucker fell down into the road.
Tom Kitten was quite unable to jump when walking upon his hind legs
in trousers. He came up the rockery by degrees, breaking the ferns, and
shedding buttons right and left.
He was all in pieces when he reached the top of the wall.
Moppet and Mittens tried to pull him together; his hat fell off, and the
rest of his buttons burst.
While they were in difficulties, there was a pit pat paddle pat! and the
three PuddleDucks came along the hard high road, marching one behind
the other and doing the goose step—pit pat paddle pat! pit pat waddle
pat!
They stopped and stood in a row, and stared up at the kittens. They had
very small eyes and looked surprised.
Then the two duckbirds, Rebeccah and Jemima PuddleDuck, picked up
the hat and tucker and put them on.
Mittens laughed so that she fell off the wall. Moppet and Tom descended
after her; the pinafores and all the rest of Tom's clothes came off on the
way down. "Come! Mr. Drake PuddleDuck," said Moppet—"Come and
help us to dress him! Come and button up Tom!"
Mr. Drake PuddleDuck advanced in a slow sideways manner, and
picked up the various articles.
But he put them on himself! They fitted him even worse than Tom
Kitten."It's a very fine morning!" said Mr. Drake PuddleDuck.
And he and Jemima and Rebeccah PuddleDuck set off up the road,
keeping step—pit pat, paddle pat! pit pat, waddle pat!
Then Tabitha Twitchit came down the garden and found her kittens on
the wall with no clothes on.
She pulled them off the wall, smacked them, and took them back to the
house. "My friends will arrive in a minute, and you are not fit to be seen;
I am affronted," said Mrs. Tabitha Twitchit.
She sent them upstairs; and I am sorry to say she told her friends that
they were in bed with the measles; which was not true.
Quite the contrary; they were not in bed: not in the least.
Somehow there were very extraordinary noises overhead, which
disturbed the dignity and repose of the tea party.
And I think that some day I shall have to make another, larger, book, to
tell you more about Tom Kitten!
As for the PuddleDucks—they went into a pond. The clothes all came
off directly, because there were no buttons.
And Mr. Drake PuddleDuck, and Jemima and Rebeccah, have been
looking for them ever since.
