A long time ago, there was an orphan named Dick Whittington.<br />

Purple 9<br />

Dick decided to go to the city of London to make his fortune. Tired, cold<br />

and hungry, he fell asleep on the steps of the house of a rich merchant<br />

named Mr Fitzwarren. Kind Mr Fitzwarren gave him a job in the kitchen.<br />

One day, Dick bought a cat for a penny. <strong>The</strong> cat chased away the mice<br />

in Dick’s tiny room so he was happy.<br />

Mr Fitzwarren was getting ready to send one of his ships to a land far<br />

away. Any servant could send something of value to be traded for gold.<br />

Dick sadly sent his cat.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cook was very mean to Dick so he ran away. When he reached<br />

the end of the city, he heard the Bow Bells ringing out, ‘Turn again,<br />

Whittington, three times Lord Mayor of London!’ Dick was amazed, but<br />

he decided to go back to work in Mr Fitzwarren’s house.<br />

Eventually, the ship returned. Dick discovered that his cat had been<br />

sold to a king for a lot of money. His palace was overrun with mice. So<br />

Dick became a rich man. He started working with Mr Fitzwarren in his<br />

business. Later, he married his business partner’s daughter, Alice. He also<br />

became Lord Mayor of London—three times!<br />
