William Wordsworth loved natural objects and enjoyed their beauty. Once he came across a large number of daffodils which were tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The scene of the daffodils filled his heart with great joy. The daffodils stretched in never-ending line like the stars that shone on the milky way.

"I'll have that mouse," sad the biggest cat; "You'll have that mouse? We'll see about that!" "I will have that mouse," said the eldest son; "You shan't have the mouse," said the little one. I told you before 'twas a stormy night When these two little kittens began to fight; The old woman seized her...
