History of the Bob, by Bayli Snowta-Wiscat:

Mousies have been called Bobs for many many years. This is a fambly name, and since most mouses is related, they hand the name down ober and ober, generashun to generashun. Howeber, mice is sekretiff and kept this sekret name all to theirownselfs, as mice like to be that way. There was a few radical mice, acourse, that called themselfs Mickey or Jerry or Mighty or eben Mortimer. They lived on the frinje tho, as any self-respectin mousie wanted to be called Bob.

One day, a black purrshun kitty saw a mousie acrost the room. She stealthily (as she was quite young then, not old and grey as she is now) crept acrost the room towards the mousie, bobbin her head up and down as she went. Finely, she was furry close to the mouse, and stopped, still bobbin her head up and down at it. The mousie finely notised the black purrshun kitty, and turned around and said "whoa!"

"You is one fuzzy kitty, there. Is you going to eat me up?" The black purrshun thot fur a minnit, and replied "I don't fink so, mouse. I purrfur my kibble. But I will turn you ober to one of my bruthercats unless you spill a mousie sekret to me!" The mouse cocked his hed to the side, and contemplated. "Okay, sounds like a fair deal to me. You know how you was bobbin your head at me? Well, that in fakt is a secret mouse name. Bob. Yes, 99.99 purrcent of mousies is named Bob. Just like you was doin with your head. Mebbe one of my ancestors saw a cat doin that and thot it was a good name, I dunno ... but it is what it is, and Bobs we are. So there. But it's a sekret. Don't neber tell nokit eber! Can I go now?"

The black purrshun gave the mousie a little pat on the head, and told him to run along quikly afore anuther kit wasn't so nice, and promptly ran out to the Town Square to tell effurry what she knew .....
