THE STORY OF A CHINA CAT
CHAPTER I
TOY-SHOP FUN
Toot! Toot! Tootity-toot-toot!
"Goodness me! who is blowing the horn?" asked the Talking Doll, as she
sat up on the shelf in the toy shop. "This isn't Friday; and we don't
want any fish!"
"Speak for yourself, if you please," said a large, white China Cat, who
had just finished washing a few specks of dirt off her shiny coat with
her red tongue. "I could enjoy a bit of fish right now."
"I should rather have pie," said the Talking Doll. "But who blew the
horn? That is what I'd like to know. No one has a horn in this toy shop
that I know anything about."
"It wasn't a horn--that was a trumpet," said another voice. "I'll blow
it again!"
Then there sounded a jolly noise through the quiet toy shop, which was
in darkness except for one electric light in the middle of the store.
