She finds some tiny canisters on the dresser, labelled Rice-Coffee-Sago but when she turns them upside down, there is nothing inside except red and blue beads. While Tom is up the chimney, Hunca has another disappointment. Tom goes up the kitchen chimney and looks out at the top-there is no soot. The fish wouldn't come off the plate so they put it into the red hot crinkly paper fire in the kitchen but it wouldn't burn either. Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca are so upset and disappointed that they break up the pudding, the lobsters, the pears, and the oranges. Tom Thumb loses his temper and he puts the ham in the middle of the floor and hits it with the tongs and with the shovel until the ham flies into pieces underneath the shiny paint it was made of nothing but plaster. Hunca Munca tries every tin spoon on the fish but it is glued to the dish. Tom tells her to leave the ham alone and pass him some fish. The ham breaks off the plate and rolls under the table.
Hunca stands up in her chair and chops at the ham with another lead knife.
He figures that the ham isn't boiled enough and asks Hunca Munca to give it a try. Tom Thumb goes to carve the ham right away but the knife crumples up and hurts him he quickly put his finger in his mouth. A lovely dinner is laid out upon the table, complete with tin spoons, lead knives and forks, and two chairs. They walk upstairs, peek into the dining room and squeak with joy.
Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca walk cautiously to the dollhouse and push the front door open. When she sees that there is no one in the nursery, she walks out. A minute later, his wife, Hunca Munca sticks her head out too. A mouse named Tom Thumb sticks out his head and then pops it back inside the baseboard again. Suddenly, there is a scratching noise in a corner near the fireplace, where there is a hole under the baseboard. One morning, when the nursery is empty and quiet, Lucinda and Jane decide to go out for a drive in the doll's carriage.
They don't come off the plates but are extremely beautiful. There are two red lobsters, a ham, a fish, a pudding, and some pears and oranges. Jane never cooks any food because the dinner had been bought ready-made. Her cook, a doll named Jane, also lives in the dollhouse. The Tale of Two Bad Mice was written by Beatrix Potter and first published in 1904.Ī doll named Lucinda and lives in a very beautiful dollhouse with red bricks, white windows, real muslin curtains, and a chimney. "Once upon a time there was a very beautiful doll's house it was red brick with white windows, and it had real muslin curtains and a front door and a chimney."
