Cat Catty
Here’s a silly little story to read and act out like a play, with 3 or more parts. The ending is left open for you to finish yourselves.
One day a mouse went to visit a cat and can you guess what the cat was doing?
She was sitting and sewing…
The mouse said:
What are you doing Cat Catty, Cat Catty,
What are you doing Cat Catty Cat Cat?
The cat answered proudly:
I’m sewing pyjamas, Mouse Mousie, Mouse Mousie,
I’m sewing pyjamas Mouse Mousie, Mouse Mouse!
The mouse laughed and said:
I can’t wait to see them Cat Catty, Cat Catty,
I can’t wait to see them Cat Cattie, Cat Cat!
The cat replied, with just a hint of anger in her voice:
You’re laughing at me Mouse Mousie , Mouse Mousie
You’re laughing at me Mouse Mousie Mouse Mouse!
The mouse laughed again, pointing at the cat and squeaking:
A cat in pyjamas Cat Catty, Cat Catty
A cat in pyjamas Cat Catty, Cat Cat!
At that moment, the cat stopped sewing and what do you think happened next?
