"Well, you had better ask the hen what _she_ thinks. I feel sure she would agree with me." WELL YOU HAD BETTER ASK THE HEN WHAT SHE THINKS I FEEL SURE SHE WOULD AGREE WITH ME
 Tommy Smith said, “of all the clever things I have _ever_ seen, I think that is the cleverest. But where are you going with it?” Yes, it was easy to ask, but there was no one to answer him; for both the little rats were gone all of a sudden,—and, what is more, the egg was gone too. “That will be one egg less for breakfast,” thought Tommy Smith to himself. “I wonder that I didn’t think of that before. Ah, Mr. Rat,” he called out, “you may be very clever, but you are a thief, for all that. That egg which you have just taken away belongs to me. I mean it belongs to my father and mother. I call that stealing.” “Oh, do you?” said the rat, for he had come out of his hole again. “Then just let me ask you one question. Who laid that egg?” “Why, the hen did, of course,” answered Tommy Smith. “Oh, did she?” said the rat. “Then I suppose your father, or someone else, took it away from her, and _I_ call _that_ stealing.” “Oh no,” said Tommy Smith; “I don’t think it is.” “Don’t you?” said the rat. E TAIL OF COURSE HE DOES SAID THE RAT HE PULLS HIM AND THE EGG TOO WELL TOMMY SMITH SAID OF ALL THE CLEVER THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN I THINK THAT IS THE CLEVEREST BUT WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH IT YES IT WAS EASY TO ASK BUT THERE WAS NO ONE TO ANSWER HIM FOR BOTH THE LITTLE RATS WERE GONE ALL OF A SUDDEN AND WHAT WAS MORE THE EGG WAS GONE TOO THAT WILL BE ONE EGG LESS FOR BREAKFAST THOUGHT TOMMY SMITH TO HIMSELF I WONDER THAT I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT BEFORE AH MISTER RAT HE CALLED OUT YOU MAY BE VERY CLEVER BUT YOU ARE A THIEF FOR ALL THAT THAT EGG WHICH YOU HAVE JUST TAKEN AWAY BELONGS TO ME I MEAN IT BELONGS TO MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER I CALL THAT STEALING OH DO YOU SAID THE RAT FOR HE HAD COME OUT OF HIS HOLE AGAIN THEN JUST LET ME ASK YOU ONE QUESTION WHO LAID THE EGG WHY THE HAND OF COURSE ANSWERED TOMMY SMITH OH DID SHE SAID THE RAT THEN I SUPPOSE YOUR FATHER OR SOME ONE ELSE TOOK IT AWAY FROM HER AND I CALL THAT STEALING OH NO SAID TOMMY SMITH I DON'T THINK IT IS DON'T YOU SAID THE RAT
