"Yes,"said Snappy,"We rolled it up,we rolled it down,We rolled it up and up and down.We rolled it up and DOWN and down,We rolled it UP AND DOWN."
"And then a pink plump thing came and snatched it from us,and we followed it,"said Snippy.
"Yes,"said Snappy,"We followed it over this and that,and over things both round and flat,and over thins both small and tall,And then!--over the garden wall."
"Where there was a house,"said Snippy,"All full of flat flowers and the funniest trees,with copy-cat mice and a trap full of cheese!"
"A trap full of cheese!"cried Mother Mouse.
"Yes,"laughed Father Mouse,"But you know where there's cheese,why there am I,so--"
"So,of course he saved us,"said Snippy.
"Yes,of course he did,"said Snappy.
"And,"said Snippy and Snappy,"We'll never Go near a house or a mouse trap again."
And Snippy and Snappy never did,so of course they didn't get caught and lived happily ever,ever,ever after.
