A hungry snake finds ten little mice and counts them into a jar for dinner. One, two, three ... But the clever mice are clever as well as "little, warm, and tasty," and they soon outwit the snake and "uncount" themselves - ten, nine, eight ... |
“And while he was gone, the mice rocked the jar one way, and another way, until over it went. "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." The little mice uncounted themselves and ran home.”
