Mouse Paint

Three white mice find jars of paint and climb inside, emerging as red, yellow, and blue mice. They discover that stepping in different colored puddles of paint creates new colors: red feet in yellow make orange; yellow feet in blue make green; and blue feet in red make purple. The mice then wash themselves white again and use the paint to color sections of paper, mixing colors to create orange, green, and purple parts while leaving some white in case the cat returns.

Once there were three white mice on a white piece of paper.
The cat couldn¡¯t find them
One day, while the cat was asleep, the mice saw three jars of paint.
One red, one yellow, and one blue.
They thought it was Mouse Paint. They climbed right in.
Then one was red, one was yellow, and one was blue.
They dripped puddles of paint onto the paper.
The puddles looked like fun.
The red mouse stepped into a yellow puddle and did a little dance.
His red feet stirred the yellow puddle until¡­
¡° Look,¡± he cried.
¡° Red feet in a yellow puddle make orange!¡±
The yellow mouse hopped into a blue puddle.
His feet mixed and stirred and mixed until¡­
¡° Look down,¡± said the red mouse and the blue mouse.
¡° Yellow feet in a blue puddle make green.¡±
Then the blue mouse jumped into a red puddle.
He splashed and mixed and danced until¡­
¡° Purple!¡± they all shouted.
¡° Blue feet in a red puddle make purple!¡±
But the paint on their fur got sticky and stiff.
So they washed themselves down to a nice soft white
And painted the paper instead. They painted one part red
And one part yellow
And one part blue.
They mixed red and yellow to paint and orange part,
Yellow and blue to paint a green part,
And blue and red to paint a purple part.
But they left some white because of the cat.
