3.Well，my dear，I like to have you.And now，for fear the cat will want to jump up into my lap to get at the ball，just tie this bit of tape to this cork，and hang it on that nail in the wall.
4.When Ann had tied the tape to the cork and hung it on the nail as she was bid，her mamma said，Now givethe cork a toss，and see what the cat will do.
5.And-O，dear me！how like a shot the cat did jump at it！She hit it with both her paws，and then with all four；then she caught hold of the tapeand swung.
6.Then she jumped down and ran across the room and back again，and then jumped up on Ann，just to show her how she liked her；and she played so many pranks that Ann had to laugh most of the time.
