The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle by Beatrix Potter

NCE upon a time there was a little girl called Lucie, who lived at a farm called Little-town. She was a good little girl—only she was always losing her pocket- handkerchiefs!

One day little Lucie came into the farm-yard crying— oh, she did cry so! “I’ve lost my pocket-handkin! Three handkins and a pinny! Have you seen them, Tabby Kitten?”

THE Kitten went on washing her white paws; so Lucie asked a speckled hen—

“Sally Henny-penny, have you found three pocket-handkins?”

But the speckled hen ran into a barn, clucking—

“I go barefoot, barefoot, barefoot!”
