No sooner had Peter gone than

A big gray wolf came out of the

Forest

In a twinkling the cat climbed

Up the tree

The duck quacked

And in her excitement foolishly jumped out

Of the pond but no matter how

Hard the duck tried to run

She couldn't escape the wolf

He was getting nearer and nearer

And nearer

Catching up with her

Then he got

Her and with one gulp swallowed her

And now this is how things stood

The cat was sitting on one

Branch the bird on another

Not too close to the cat

And the wolf walked

Round and round the tree

Looking at them with

Greedy eyes
