Story

“Little Tommy Tittlemouse
Lived in a little house,
He caught fishes
In other men’s ditches.”

While watching the fish in the pond, Mother Goose tells the Goslings the story of Tommy Tittlemouse. Tommy's pastime is going fishing in a ditch. But the ditch is owned by Mr. Mean who tries to stop the mouse. Mr. Mean attempts to chop down the tree where Tommy lives, but Ella and her cow explain that the fishes Tommy is taking from the ditch are for her - she trades Tommy fishes for cheese. Tommy agrees to teach Mr. Mean how to catch the fish in his ditch so he too can trade them for cheese.
