The Cock, The Mouse and the Little Red Hen an old tale retold
The original (printed) book came in at least two versions. In the edition used for this e-text, some full-color illustrations had a red frame and the others were unframed. The line drawings alternated between reddish magenta and blue-green. In another version, all color illustrations had the same black frame, and all line drawings were black-and-white. In this e-text, red frames are as printed; black frames were added by the transcriber to make illustrations look cleaner.

THE COCK, THE MOUSE
AND THE LITTLE RED HEN
Once upon a time there was
a hill, and on the hill there
was a pretty little house.
It had one little green
door, and four little windows
with green shutters,
and in it there lived
A Cock
and A Mouse
| and A Little Red Hen |
 |
On another hill close by
there was another little
house. It was very ugly.
It had a door
that wouldn’t shut,
and two broken windows,
and all the paint
was off the shutters
And in this house
there lived
A BOLD BAD FOX
and FOUR BAD
LITTLE FOXES
One morning these
four bad little foxes
| came to the big bad Fox and said: |
 |
“Oh, Father, we’re so
hungry!”
“We had nothing to eat
yesterday,” said one.
“And scarcely anything
the day before,” said another.
“And only half a chicken
the day before that,” said
the third.
“And only two little
ducks the day before that,”
said the fourth.
The big bad Fox shook
his head for a long time,
for he was thinking.
At last he said in a
big gruff voice:
“On that hill over there
I see a house. And in that
house there lives a Cock.”
“And a Mouse,” screamed
two of the little foxes.
“And a little Red Hen,”
screamed the other two.
“And they are nice and fat,”
went on the big bad Fox.
“This very day, I’ll take my
great sack, and I will go up
that hill, and in at that door,
and into my sack I will put
the Cock,
