The wood was snapping and crackling, making the sparks fly. Some flew up the chimney, others settled into coals in the bed of the fireplace, while others flew out on the hearth and slowly closed their eyes and went to sleep.One spark ventured farther out upon the hearth and fell very near Pussy. This made her jump, which awakened the dog."That almost scorched your fur coat, Miss Pussy," said the dog."No, indeed," answered the cat. "I am far too quick to be caught by those silly sparks.""Why do you call them silly?" asked the dog. "I think them very good to look at, and they help to keep us warm.""Yes, that is all true," said the cat, "but those that fly up the chimney on a night like this certainly are silly, when they could be warm and comfortable inside; for my part, I cannot see why they fly up the chimney."CONTENTSWhere the Sparks GoThe Good Sea MonsterMother Turkey and Her ChicksThe Fairies and the DandelionMr. 'PossumThe Rooster That Crowed Too SoonTearfulHilda's MermaidThe Mirror's DreamThe ContestThe Pink and Blue EggsWhy the Morning-Glory SleepsDorothy and the PortraitMistress Pussy's MistakeKidThe Shoemaker RatThe PoppiesLittle China DollThe Disorderly GirlThe Wise Old GanderDinah Cat and the WitchThe Star and the LilyLazy GrayThe Old Gray HenThe Worsted Doll
