The Roly-Poly Pudding Or, The Tale of Samuel Whiskers

I have always been of fan of Beatrix Potter and was raised on her stories. Many of you know Tom Twitchit the gray striped cat who seems to get in as much trouble as Peter Rabbit. Well I was thrilled to find a Beatrix Potter story (that I was not so familiar with) that featured rats. When curiosity gets the better of Tom, two rats, Anna Maria and Samual Whiskers, capture the kitten and decide to make a baked pudding out of him.

[Excerpt]: Tom Kitten bit and spat, and mewed and wriggled; and the rolling-pin went roly-poly, roly; roly, poly, roly. The rats each held an end.
"His tail is sticking out! You did not fetch enough dough, Anna Maria."

"I fetched as much as I could carry," replied Anna Maria."I do not think" -- said Samuel Whiskers, pausing to take a look at Tom Kitten -- "I do not think it will be a good pudding. It smells sooty."

To learn what happens, you must read for yourself! It is quite a cute little story and seeing that I am a rat lover, I would not put a story on here that does not end well.

Enjoy!
