Look-and-Say words

Sound-and-Say words

1. One cold day, little Betty heard a cry on the back steps of her home.

2. She went to see who was there and found a dear little pussy.

3. It was only a baby and seemed to have no home.

4. It was cold and hungry.

5. "Poor little kitty," said Betty. "Where is your home?"

6. "Me-ow!" said the kitten sadly.

7. Betty was a kind little girl. She gave the kitten some milk and then put it on a mat, near the fire.

8. It had a long sleep. When it woke, it ran about and was so happy.

9. "May I keep the little cat, please, Mother?" asked Betty. "I should like it for a pet."

10. "Yes,"said her mother. "What will you call it?"

11. "It is so black," said Betty,"I shall call it Topsy."

12. Every day they have such fun.

Betty ties a bell around Topsy's neck. She likes to hear the bell ring as the pussy runs.

Tinkle, tink! Tinkle, tink!goes the bell.
