They will give you some fun On this wet, wet day.” “Now, here is a game that they like,” Said the cat. Oh, so tame! They have come here to play. “These things are good Things.” And he gave them a pat. “Have no fear, little fish,” Said the Cat in the Hat. But our fish said, “No! No! Those Things should not be In this house! Make them go! “They should not be here When your mother is not! Put them out! Put them out!” Said the fish in the pot. So we had to shake hands With Thing One and Thing Two. They said, “How do you do? Would you like to shake hands With Thing One and Thing Two?” And Sally and I Did now know what to do. They want to have fun.” Then, out of the box Came Thing Two and Thing One! And they ran to us fast. You will like these two things,” Said the cat with a bow. “In this box are two things I will show to you now. “I call this game FUN IN A BOX,” Said the cat.
“Take a look!” Then he got up on top With a tip of his hat. And then, fast as a fox, The Cat in the Hat Came back in with a box. I will show you Another good game that I know!” And then he ran out. I do NOT wish to go! And so,” said the Cat in the Hat, “So so so. Oh, I like it a lot!” Said the Cat in the Hat To the fish in the pot. You get out of this house!” Said the fish in the pot. You SHOULD NOT be here when our mother is not. You shook up our house And you bent our new rake. “Now look at this house! Look at this! Look at that! You sank our toy ship, Sank it deep in the cake. “No, I do not like it, Not one little bit!” “Now look what you did!” Said the fish to the cat. This is not a good game,” Said our fish as he lit. He fell into a pot! He said, “Do I like this? Oh, no! I do not. And Sally and I, We saw ALL the things fall! And our fish came down, too. Then he fell on his head! He came down with a bump from up there on the ball. That is not all.” That is what the cat said. I can hold up the cup And the milk and the cake! I can hold up these books! And the fish on a rake! I can hold the toy ship And a little toy man! And look! With my tail I can hold a red fan! I can fan with the fan As I hop on the ball! But that is not all. “Look at me! Look at me! Look at me NOW! It is fun to have fun But you have to know how.
“Look at me! Look at me now!” said the cat. “With a cup and a cake on the top of my hat! I can hold up TWO books! I can hold up the fish! And a little toy ship! And some milk on a dish! And look! I can hop up and down on the ball! But that is not all! Oh, no. With a book on one hand! And a cup on my hat! But that is not ALL I can do!” said the cat. I will hold you up high as I stand on a ball. “I do NOT wish to fall!” “Have no fear!” said the cat. “This is no fun at all! Put me down!” said the fish. “Why, we can have lots of good fun, if you wish, With a game that I call UP UP UP with a fish!” “Put me down!” said the fish. “My tricks are not bad,” Said the Cat in the Hat. He should not be here When your mother is out!” “Now! Now! Have no fear. But the fish said, “No! No! Make that cat go away! Tell that Cat in the Hat you do NOT want to play. Our mother was out of the house For the day. Your mother Will not mind at all if I do.” Then Sally and I Did not know what to say. “I know some new tricks,” Said the Cat in the Hat. But we can have lots of good fun that is funny!” “I know some good games we could play,” Said the cat. And then something went BUMP! How that bump made us jump! We looked! Then we saw him step in on the mat! We looked! And we saw him! The Cat in the Hat! And he said to us, “Why do you sit there like that?” “I know it is wet And the sun is not sunny. So all we could do was to Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! And we did not like it. And I said, “How I wish we had something to do!” Too wet to go out and too cold to play ball. I sat there with Sally, we sat there we two. So we sat in the house All that cold, cold, wet day.
