Then he let it down again until it was dipped more than an inch deep into the oil at the bottom—for the bottle was not quite half full. THEN HE LET IT DOWN AGAIN UNTIL IT WAS DIPPED MORE THAN AN INCH DEEP INTO THE BOIL AT THE BOTTOM FOR THE BOTTLE WAS NOT QUITE HALF FULL
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. 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.  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 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
