Now the neck of the bottle came almost up to the edge of the window sill, and the rat's tail was as long as the bottle. "Oh, I see!" cried Tommy Smith. "You will in a minute," said the rat, and he drew up his tail, and began to feel about with the tip of it till he had got it right inside the mouth of the bottle. NOW THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE CAME ALMOST UP TO THE EDGE OF THE WINDOW SILL AND THE RAT'S TAIL WAS AS LONG AS THE BOTTLE OH I SEE CRIED TOMMY SMITH YOU WILL SEE IN A MINUTE SAID THE RAT AND HE DREW UP HIS TAIL AND BEGAN TO FEEL ABOUT WITH THE TIP OF IT TILL HE HAD GOT IT RIGHT INSIDE THE MOUTH OF THE BOTTLE
do you suppose I am to get at it?” “Why, by knocking it over,” said Tommy Smith at once. “That is the only way that I can see.” “Fie!” said the rat. “That may be _your_ way of drinking oil, but _I_ should be ashamed to make such a mess. _I_ am a rat, and I like to do things in a proper manner.” Tommy Smith felt a little offended at this, and he said, “I never knock a bottle over when I want to get oil or anything else out of it, for _I_ am a little boy, and have a pair of hands to lift it up with, and pour what is in it out of it. But you have no hands, and you cannot get your head into it, because the neck is too narrow, and your tongue is not long enough to reach down to where the oil is. So I don’t see what you can do, unless you knock it over.” “Fie!” said the rat again. “Well, you shall soon see what I can do.” And almost as he said this, he was on the dresser, and from there he gave a little jump on to the window-sill, and sat down, with his long tail hanging over the edge of it. ELL THE RAT WENT ON I SHOULD LIKE TO TASTE A LITTLE OF IT BUT HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE I AM TO GET AT IT WHY BY KNOCKING IT OVER SAID TOMMY SMITH AT ONCE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN SEE FIT THAT MAY BE YOUR WAY OF DRINKING OIL BUT I SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO MAKE SUCH A MESS I AM A RAT AND I LIKE TO DO THINGS IN A PROPER MANNER TOMMY SMITH FELT A LITTLE OFFENDED AT THIS AND HE SAID I NEVER KNOCK A BOTTLE OVER WHEN I WANT TO GET OIL OR ANYTHING ELSE OUT OF IT FOR I AM A LITTLE BOY AND I HAVE A PAIR OF HANDS TO LIFT IT UP WITH AND POUR WHAT IS IN IT OUT OF IT BUT YOU HAVE NO HANDS AND YOU CANNOT GET YOUR HEAD INTO IT BECAUSE THE NECK IS TOO NARROW AND YOUR TONGUE IS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO REACH DOWN TO WHERE THE OIL IS SO I DON'T SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO UNLESS YOU KNOCK IT OVER FIE SAID THE RAT AGAIN WELL YOU SHALL SOON SEE WHAT I CAN DO AND ALMOST AS HE SAID THIS HE WAS ON THE DRESSER AND FROM THERE HE GAVE A LITTLE JUMP ON TO THE WINDOW SILL AND SAT DOWN WITH HIS LONG TAIL HANGING OVER THE EDGE OF IT
