Characters:

A room in the CAT'S house. She sits with her three KITTENS at the table, reading a book to them.

CAT (rising): Children, I am going to buy something for supper. You must be good and sit still, or the wolf will hear you.

She puts on her hat and coat, takes a basket and goes away. And the three KITTENS sit still and try to be very good.

BLACK KITTEN: I shall read and be very still. GRAY KITTEN: I shall write and be very still. WHITE KITTEN: I shall look out of the window and be very still.

The WOLF comes up to the door and looks through the keyhole.

WOLF (to himself): Big Cat is not at home, I shall go into the house and eat up all the kittens. What a good din­ner I shall have!

He knocks at the door,

KITTENS (all together): Who is knocking at the door?

WOLF: Mother is here. Let me in at once.

WHITE KITTEN: Show me your paw through the window.

The WOLF raises his paw and shows it through the window,

WHITE KITTEN: This is not Mother's paw. Mother's paw is white, and your paw is black. I shall not open the door to you.

In a minute the WOLF comes to the door again and knocks.

KITTENS {together): Who is knocking at the door? WOLF: Mother. Let me in at once, KITTENS: Show us your paw.

The WOLF shows them his paw through the window, it is wrapped in a while handkerchief and it is white this time,

KITTENS: Your paw looks very white, but your voice is not sweet. You are not Mother. WOLF (to himself): What can I do to make my voice sweet?

Oh, I know, I shall eat sugar and my voice will become sweet.

He takes out of his pocket some pieces of sugar, eats them up and knocks at the door again.

KITTENS: Who is knocking at the door?

WOLF (in a sweet voice): It is Mother. Let me in at once,

KITTENS {gladly):That is Mother! That is Mother! Let's open the door.

They open the door. The WOLF rushes in,

WOLF: Ha, ha! That is not your mother. That is me, the Wolf. I shall eat you up, you silly kittens!

The three tittle KITTENS, screaming, run about the room to hide. BLACK

KITTEN hides behind a chair. WHITE KITTEN hides in the wardrobe.

GRAY KITTEN hides under the table. The WOLF is very angry because

he does not see the KITTENS. He begins to look for them.

WHITE KITTEN: Ha, ha, Mr. Wolf, you cannot get at us. GRAY KITTEN: Hay, Mr. Wolf, you cannot find us. BLACK KITTEN: Go away, Bad Wolf; you will not catch us.

MOTHER'S voice is heard from the street.

MOTHER: My little kittens, open the door to your mother.

The WOLF gets frightened and hurriedly goes away. In comes the

CAT,

CAT: Children, where are you? What has happened to you?

The KITTENS come out, surround their MOTHER and speak all at once

BLACK KITTEN: Oh, Mother, the wolf has come to us. WHITE KITTEN: The wolf wanted to eat us up. GRAY KITTEN: He was very hungry and angry with us because we hid from him. CAT: Don't let anybody in when your mother is out.
