Inky Pinky Pooh

Inky-Pinky-Pooh was a very little ___________, and he lived in a very ___________ house. It was a very ____________
house, too, but when a new cook ____________ one day things began to be __________ for poor Inky-Pink.
For the new Cook did not like animals __________. She ___________ remembered to _______________ any food for
Inky-Pink, and there were never __________ tit-bits left _____________ as there had been in the old cooks time. And
Inky-Pink-Pooh was never ____________ to sit by the _____________ fire nowadays.
One day poor Inky-Pink was very hungry ______________. He had had nothing to eat for over two days.
At first he tried mewing ___________, and rubbing himself against Cooks legs. But when she ____________ him and
____________ him away __________ time, he _____________ that that was no use!
So he sat beside his ___________ very ___________ and hoped that that would _____________ Cook and __________
her hard ___________! But it did not seem to have any _____________, and she merely ___________ at him whenever
she looked his way. Poor Inky-Pink, he felt very _____________. He not only felt more and more ____________ and
______________, but more and more hungry, too.
So, when one day he suddenly ____________ that Cook had left the ___________ door __________, he slipped in quietly
when she was not looking.
It was the most wonderful place hed ever been in, and quite took his ______________ away! For a while he was lost in
______________ just looking at the lovely plate of fresh ____________, the pheasant hanging from a ____________ in
the ____________, the chicken and the ham But, most beautiful of all was a plate of ___________, silvery fish lying
there on a plate. It was just _____________ to be eaten, and it was on the lowest _____________ of all!
He ___________ happily to himself, Oh my ___________ and paddy-paws, what a be-au-ti-ful piece of fish!!!! But
just as Inky-Pink was _____________ the fish off the plate, Cook came back into the _________________ and caught
Inky-Pink To say that she was angry would be an understatement She was _____________!
Poor Inky-Pink was in disgrace!
He was ____________, and he was _____________, and then he was __________ up to the __________ of the table by a
piece of ___________, so that he could not get into the __________ again when Cook was not looking! It was all most
humiliating!
And when a __________ little mouse came by and ____________ at him and said, Good dog! Good dog! What a pretty
__________ youve got! poor Inky-Pinky-Pooh felt that insult could go no further. He was very, very ______________
indeed!
But the little mouse (whose name, by the way, was Twinkletoes) was really a ________________ little mouse, and when
he saw how ___________ the little kitten was, and how __________ and hungry-looking he ____________ to be, he was
sorry and asked what the ___________ was. When Inky-Pink told him, Twinkletoes ____________ his ___________ and
said, I know! I know This new Cook never ____________ even a crumb about and as for ______________, oh!, my
whiskers and twinkletoes, Ive almost _______________ what it smells like! I can understand how hungry you must be!
Then he said, I know a house, not very far from here, where they love animals, and always have _____________ of food
for them crumbs each day for the ___________, and milk for the _____________ each night. Im sure they would
_________ a little food for us. And I know the little girl has been _____________ a kitten for a long, long time Ive
never heard her ask for a mouse, but I have heard her asking for a kitten
So Inky-Piny-Pooh said, I _____________ if she would like me? Im sure Cook doesnt want me, and I would so much
like to have someone to love me and ___________ me and care for me!
Then Twinkletoes had an idea. If you will meet me tonight, he said, when the __________ is up, and you have been let
off that er piece of ____________, I will show you the house and then you can think about it for a day or two and see if
you feel youd like to live there its a much smaller house than this big, _________ house of yours he ____________,
apologetically.

This seemed an ________________ notion, so they agreed to meet at twelve oclock midnight that ____________ night.
And, as Cook had never _______________ to ___________ Inky-Pinky-Pooh, even by midnight, Twinkletoes came back
for him and ____________ through the piece of ______________ and set him __________!
Just as the clock was ____________ twelve, Inky-Pinky-Pooh and Twinkletoes set off for their ____________.
The moon was like a big silver ____________ shining up in the sky, and the ______________ was covered with snow.
Inky-Pink and Twinkletoes walked carefully along the tops of the garden ___________, and over the ____________, all
through the ____________ until they came to the house Twinkletoes had _______________.
It was ____________ a little house, with only ____________ a little garden round it, not at all like the big house and
garden where Inky-Pink lived. But it looked _____________, and pretty, and very ___________.
Inky-Pink liked the smell of the house very much ______________, but he did wonder what it looked like ___________.
He could not go in and out of the little ________________ like Twinkletoes could, and all the _____________ were drawn
at the windows, so there was no way for him to be able to see inside.
He ___________ and _____________ for a minute. I wonder, he said to Twinkletoes, If I could see anything if I look
down the chimney?
So he _____________ up on to the top of the chimney-pot and ______________ there carefully while he tried to see down
it, and Twinkletoes stood at the foot of the chimney-pot and asked ______________, Can you see anything? Can you see
anything?
And then, suddenly, there was the most ____________ squealing and screeching as Inky-Pinky-Pooh lost his ___________
and fell right down into the chimney, and Twinkletoes could only see Inky-Pinks _________ waving frantically about in
the _________ for a second before it, too, _____________ completely down the chimney-pot! Then Twinkletoes heard a
__________, muffled thud, and Inky-Pinks Miaow! from far away down inside the chimney-stack.
Oh my goodness! _______________ Twinkletoes in ___________________, Oh my Blue Cheese and Gorgonzola!
Whatever has happened to poor Inky-Pink?
You may well ask what had happened to poor Inky-Pink! He was asking himself!
Oh my whiskers and paddy-paws! he exclaimed, as soon as he was in a fit _____________ to exclaim anything at all,
Wherever am I?
He looked around and ____________ that he had ____________ on to a lovely white hearth-rug in a ______________,
comfy-looking room. In one ____________ there stood a little tree that ____________ with silver and was ____________
with a big golden star. Inky-Pink thought he had never seen anything so _____________ in his life!
And as he looked he saw something __________ too his beautiful white __________ was quite, quite black, from all the
___________ he had ______________ on it as he came down the chimney!
It was while he was staring at himself in _____________ that he heard the door of the room open and the _____________
was suddenly switched on!
Standing in the _______________ was a little girl in a pretty blue night-gown, and behind her, hastily pulling on their
____________ dressing-gowns, were a lady and a gentleman! They all ___________ at the little black object sitting in the
___________ of the white hearth-rug. Then the little girl cried out, Oh, Mummy! Daddy! Look! Its a ___________ little
kitten! Father Christmas has brought me a kitten just like the one Ive always wanted, only he is black _____________ of
white. What a lovely, lovely Christmas _______________!
Inky-Pink was never quite ____________ just what the little girl meant by Christmas present, but there wasnt time to
puzzle it out!
The lady, ______________ name was Mummy, said he was a poor little ___________ and he looked half-starved, poor
mite, and he must have a ____________ and good warm meal; and the gentleman (whose name was Daddy) said he
would make him a ___________ to sleep in, and went off to see about it. And Mummy and the little girl, ____________
name was Marilyn, washed Inky-Pink in warm _____________ water (which he did not like very much!) and then gave
him some lovely warm milk to drink (which he did like, very much indeed!)

And the next day (which they all told him was a specially important day called Christmas Day) he was given a lovely red
__________ to wear around his __________, and as much warm milk to drink as ever he wanted, and he was __________
to __________ up on the white hearth-rug in front of the ____________ fire, where he purred and purred and purred with
sheer ________________, until he sounded like an ________________ out of ____________!
And it seemed to him that in that house all days were Christmas Day, for everyone was always ________ to him, and there
was always ___________ to eat and drink, and warm fires to sit by
And every night, when the humans had _________ to __________, Twinkletoes would __________ out of the little
________ he had found and made into his _________ little home, and he and Inky-Pink would sit together by the hearth
and tell each other what they had being doing all the day. And Twinkletoes would __________ with happiness and say,
What a lucky night it was when you __________ down this chimney, Inky-Pink!
And Inky-Pinky-Pooh would purr and say, Yes and ___________ it a lucky day when Cook _________ me to the table
leg! For if she had not done that, then you would not have come by and ____________ to me, and we would never have set
out that night to look for this house, and then I would never have been __________ to climb ______ the chimney-pot to try
to see down it!
And they would __________ sit there looking onto the ______________ red heart of the fire and feel that they were the
__________ little animals in the ____________, big, world!
