Маленькая история про MITTENS и KITTENS
Скажите, ну кому придет в голову покупать варежки, когда на дворе весна??? Вот мне эта мысль покоя не давала, когда я увидела продажу в своем магазинчике - купили мои крохотные варежечки, которые делались еще к Рождественско-Новогодним праздникам, да вот залежались...
Но потом я все-таки увидела записочку :
Note from Buyer Thank you. These are to go with a pottery planter with the three little kittens who lost their mittens... and have happily found them again! These look so cute, I look forward to pairing them with my gift for my sister. Pam Rickard
Понятно теперь! Отправляя заказ, я попросила прислать фотографию этих самых Kittens, когда они найдут свои mittens. И вот она пришла!
Dear Irina,
I can't believe the tiny mittens are here already. They are absolutely wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for. You can see the poem at www.rhymes.org.uk/three_little_kittens.htm
I know my sister, who is almost completely blind, will love her little kittens now they have their mittens. She is the family kitten, I am the bear.
Thank you so much for the amazingly tiny mittens and such prompt service.
Best Regards

Three Little Kittens Rhyme
Nursery Rhyme & History
Words of the Three Little Kittens Nursery Rhyme
A cautionary tale with words directed toward to a mother and child and the common occurrence of losing an article, then finding it and finally being rewarded! The word "meeow" shows effective use of onomatopoeia where a word sounds like the action. The mother cat was correct in her view that she could "smell a rat!" This Nursery Rhyme first appeared in the" Only True Mother Goose Melodies" in 1843.
Three Little Kittens poem
AKA - 3 Little Kittens
Three little kittens they lost their mittens, and they began to cry,
"Oh mother dear, we sadly fear that we have lost our mittens."
"What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie."
"Meeow, meeow, meeow, now we shall have no pie."
The three little kittens they found their mittens,
And they began to cry,
"Oh mother dear, see here, see here
For we have found our mittens."
"Put on your mittens, you silly kittens
And you shall have some pie"
"Meeow, meeow, meeow,
Now let us have some pie."
The three little kittens put on their mittens
And soon ate up the pie,
"Oh mother dear, we greatly fear
That we have soiled our mittens."
"What! soiled you mittens, you naughty kittens!"
Then they began to cry, "Meeow, meeow, meeow"
Then they began to sigh.
The three little kittens they washed their mittens
And hung them out to dry,
"Oh mother dear, do you not hear
That we have washed our mittens."
"What! washed your mittens, you are good kittens."
But I smell a rat close by,
"Meeow, meeow, meeow" we smell a rat close by...
И только после прочтения до меня дошло, что мы все с детства хорошо знаем этот стишок в переводе С. Маршака

Перчатки
Потеряли котятки
На дороге перчатки
И в слезах прибежали домой.
- Мама, мама, прости,
Мы не можем найти,
Мы не можем найти
Перчатки!
- Потеряли перчатки?
Вот дурные котятки!
Я вам нынче не дам пирога.
Мяу-мяу, не дам,
Мяу-мяу, не дам,
Я вам нынче не дам пирога!
Побежали котятки,
Отыскали перчатки
И, смеясь, прибежали домой.
- Мама, мама, не злись,
Потому что нашлись,
Потому что нашлись
Перчатки!
- Отыскали перчатки?
Вот спасибо, котятки!
Я за это вам дам пирога.
Мур-мур-мур, пирога,
Мур-мур-мур, пирога,
Я за это вам дам пирога!
