Matilda's kind to pussy cat, It shows her gratitude for that. "I FEEL ashamed Matilda To see you such a shirk 8 I really think you'd run a mile To get away from work." So spoke Matilda's mother Reprovingly one day, But Mattie only shrugged and sulked And turned her face away. Soon mother left her then alone, The door was open wide.
