For Context:

CAT AND MOUSE IN PARTNERSHIP

She said to the mouse: ‘You must do me a favour, and once more manage the house for a day alone.

I am again asked to be godmother, and, as the child has a white ring round its neck, I cannot refuse.’

The good mouse consented, but the cat crept behind the town walls to the church, and devoured half the pot of fat.

‘Nothing ever seems so good as what one keeps to oneself,’ said she, and was quite satisfied with her day’s work.

When she went home the mouse inquired: ‘And what was the child christened?’ ‘Half-done,’ answered the cat.

‘Half-done!

What are you saying?

I never heard the name in my life, I’ll wager anything it is not in the calendar!’

The cat’s mouth soon began to water for some more licking.

‘All good things go in threes,’ said she, ‘I am asked to stand godmother again.

The child is quite black, only it has white paws, but with that exception, it has not a single white hair on its whole body; this only happens once every few years, you will let me go, won’t you?’
