The Mitten

2.

There once lived a little boy who longed to own a pair of cozy white
mittens, so he politely asked his grandma if she would knit him a pair.

3.

was the color he wanted, so his grandma eventually gave in and agreed to knit him
the white mittens he greatly desired.

4.

The next day the boy received his mittens, and he hugged his grandma in thanks.

5.

The boy skipped off into the yard to play in the snow. His new mittens kept his hands so cozy
and warm that he soon had to take them off, but he made sure that he had tucked them up
fall to the ground as he swung himself over a branch. The same color as the crisp, fresh snow the
mitten lay unnoticed by the boy who soon moved on to play elsewhere.

6.

A little brown mole was scurrying through the garden when he came upon the mitten.
Oooh how cozy! he squealed shuffling inside the mitten. This is the perfect place to
have my afternoon nap. He was so comfortable in the soft, warm mitten that he
immediately fell fast asleep.

7.

Soon another animal came hopping through the garden. It was an inquisitive young rabbit who
was puzzled to see what looked like a snoring mitten! She peeped inside and saw a little mole
tucked up. It looked so cozy that she decided she would like to curl up inside the mitten too. The
mole grumbled a little as she squeezed in beside him. It was nice to have some company. The
two animals were happy to snuggle up together.

8.

A little while later, a prickly old hedgehog wandered by and spotted the mitten. He was amazed
to see the mole and rabbit cuddled up snuggly, and he begged them to let him in too. The mole
and rabbit were a little reluctant to share their cozy mitten with the hedgehog. They were worried
his prickles would hurt them, but the hedgehog promised that his prickles would not get in the
way, so they made room and let him.

9.

The next animal to stumble across the mitten was a fine badger with sleek stripes.
He was cold and tired. When he saw the other animals nestled in the warmth of
the woolly mitten, he longed to snuggle in beside them.

10.

So the other animals, who felt sorry for the shivering
badger, managed to shuffle together, and the badger was able to squeeze his way
in.

When a wise old owl, peeped her head into the mitten and suggested a space

pressed firmly inside the mitten. All the
animals were cozy and very warm.

13.

A slender young fox was sniffing around the yard when she noticed a patch of snow beginning to
melt. When she looked closely, she saw that it was caused by the heat from all the animals inside
the mitten? It was already stretched too many times its original size.

14.

But the fox s sad tired eyes convinced them to let her try and squish in too. After lots of
huffing and puffing and shuffling and turning, the fox was in! She sighed contently and
closed her eyes. The other animals were glad they had helped her. Besides, they didn t
want to get on the wrong side of a fox!

lumbering by. He was tired of padding through the snow. When he saw the other
animals sheltering in the sizzling warmth of the mitten, he was desperate to share in
their comfort.

twice! They jostled and shoved a twisted around, and the mitten grew bigger and
bigger. The bear pushed his nose, then his head, and finally the enormous bulk of his
body into the mitten. He settled himself down to rest.

17.

When a tiny young field mouse arrived to claim her place, the other animals did not even
question whether or not she would fit. They breathed in to allow the little creature to slip inside,

of the mitten and through the air. They all landed with a thud in the cold snow
while the mitten landed on the step outside the front door of the house.

20.

The little boy was tiring of the snow by now, and he was just running towards the
house to warm up. He spotted his mitten lying on the step, and he snatched it up
as he dashed indoors. His grandma was waiting for him.
