THE MOTHER’S PRIMER.
THE BOV AND CAT.
Tom Racket was a very mischievous boy, and
was always quarrelling with his playfellows, or J
tormenting any unfortunate animal that happen- ;
ed to come in his way.
One day as he was playing in the garden, he saw |
the cat asleep on a bench under a tree. Poor puss
was a very good-natured cat, but Tom pinched
her tail, and teased her so much, that she at
length grew angry, and putting out her long
sharp claws, darted them in his face, scratched
him severely, and almost pulled out oneofhis eyes.
Tom was confined to his room a long time,
while his face and eyes were getting well; and
his papa said so much to him about his cruelty,
that lie never afterwards teased or hurt any
living creature.
