The Story of Miss Moppet is a children's book by Beatrix Potter published in 1906.
A mouse teases a kitten named Miss Moppet. She takes her revenge by tying him up in a duster (a dusting cloth) and tossing him about, but he escapes.
This book provides examples of:
- Failed a Spot Check: Miss Moppet forgets about the hole in the duster when she ties the mouse up in it. He manages to wriggle out through the hole and escape.
- Improvised Bandage: When the mouse makes fun of her, Miss Moppet jumps at him but misses, hitting her head on the cupboard. She then ties her head up in the duster.
- A Mischief of Mice: The book starts with the mouse peeking out from behind a cupboard and making fun of Miss Moppet.
- Revenge: Downplayed. Miss Moppet teases the mouse by tying him up in the duster and tossing him about because he had teased her first.
