"Believe in Santa Claus? Why shouldn't I? Didn't Santa Claus bring me a beautiful butter cracker last Christmas, and a lovely gingersnap, and a delicious rind of cheese, and  and  lots of things? BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS WHY SHOULDN'T I DIDN'T SANTA CLAUS BRING ME A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERCRACKER LAST CHRISTMAS AND A LOVELY GINGER SNAP AND A DELICIOUS RIND OF CHEESE AND AND LOTS OF THINGS
why shouldn't I be merry?" asked the little mauve mouse. "To-morrow is Christmas, and this is Christmas eve." "So it is," said the old clock. "I had really forgotten all about it. But tell me, what is Christmas to you, little Miss Mauve Mouse?" "A great deal to me!" cried the little mauve mouse. "I have been very good a very long time: I have not used any bad words, nor have I gnawed any holes, nor have I stolen any canary seed, nor have I worried my mother by running behind the flour-barrel where that horrid trap is set. In fact, I have been so good that I'm very sure Santa Claus will bring me something very pretty." This seemed to amuse the old clock mightily; in fact, the old clock fell to laughing so heartily that in an unguarded moment she struck twelve instead of ten, which was exceedingly careless and therefore to be reprehended. "Why, you silly little mauve mouse," said the old clock, "you don't believe in Santa Claus, do you?" "Of course I do," answered the little mauve mouse. NOW TO MY SURPRISE YES AND TO MY HORROR TOO BUT WHY SHOULDN'T I BE MERRY ASKED THE LITTLE MOVE MOUSE TO MORROW IS CHRISTMAS AND THIS IS CHRISTMAS EVE SO IT IS SAID THE OLD CLOCK I HAD REALLY FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT IT BUT TELL ME WHAT IS CHRISTMAS TO YOU LITTLE MISS MOAVE MOUSE A GREAT DEAL TO ME CRIED THE LITTLE MOVE MOUSE I HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD A VERY LONG TIME I HAVE NOT USED ANY BAD WORDS NOR HAVE I GNAWED ANY HOLES NOR HAVE I STOLEN ANY CANARY SEED NOR HAVE I WORRIED MY MOTHER BY RUNNING BEHIND THE FLOWER BARROW WHERE THAT HORRID TRAP IS SET IN FACT I HAVE BEEN SO GOOD THAT I AM VERY SURE SANTA CLAUS WILL BRING ME SOMETHING VERY PRETTY THIS SEEMED TO AMUSE THE OLD CLOCK MIGHTILY IN FACT THE OLD CLOCK FELL TO LAUGHING SO HEARTILY THAT IN AN UNGUARDED MOMENT SHE STRUCK TWELVE INSTEAD OF TEN WHICH WAS EXCEEDINGLY CARELESS AND THEREFORE TO BE REPREHENDED WHY YOU SILLY LITTLE MOUVE MOUSE SAID THE OLD CLOCK YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS DO YOU OF COURSE I DO ANSWERED THE LITTLE MOVE MOUSE
