"Tommy, Tammy, lunch is ready," called their mother. "Tammy, Tommy, where
are my little children?"
"I'm not `your little children,' I'm a pussycat," said Tommy.
"I'm not `your little kids,' I'm a pussycat, too"
                                     Â
"Well, excuse me!" said their mother, but, my lovely kittens, it's time for
your lunch ."
"Miaow," said Tammy as she washed her hands.
"Miaow," said Tommy, as he sat down.
"Purrrrrrrr," said the twins, as they ate their lunch, and lapped up the
milk in the saucers in front of them.
Later, when they went to the food store, a kind old man smiled and said,
"My, what a nice little girl and boy."
"I'm not a little girl," said Tammy, "I'm a pussycat. Miaow."
"I'm not a little boy," said Tommy, "I'm a pussycat, too. Miaow."
"Well," said the kind old man, "You're the first pussycats I've ever seen
pushing shopping carts. Miaow to you, too!" Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
                           Â
And he walked away smiling.
