So off he set with his opera hat / And on the road he met with a rat

Slide 5

They Came to the Door of Mousey's Hall, / They gave a loud knock, and a loud call

Slide 6

'Pray Mrs Mouse, are you within?' / 'Oh, yes, kind sirs, I'm sitting to spin'

Slide 7

'Pray Mrs Mouse, will you give us some beer? / For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer'

Slide 8

'Pray, Mr Frog, will you give us a song? / But let it be something that's not very long'

Slide 9

'Indeed, Mrs Mouse,' replied the Frog / 'A cold has made me as hoarse as a hog'

Slide 10

'As you have a Cold Mr Frog,' Mousey said, / 'I'll sing you a song that I have just made'

Slide 11

But while they were all a-merry-making / The cat and the Kitten came tumbling in

Slide 12

The cat and the kitten pull'd the little mouse down

Slide 14

This put Mr Frog in a terrible fright; / He took up his hat, and he wished them good-night

Slide 15

But as Froggy was crossing over a brook, / A terrible duck came and gobbled him up

Slide 16

So there was an end of one, two, and three, / The Rat, the Mouse, and the little Frog-gee!
