Origin[]
Lucie is a good little girl who lives on a farm called Little-Town. She has a habit of losing her pocket handkerchiefs (she has lost three pocket handkerchiefs and a pinafore) . She questions Tabby Kitten and Sally Henny-penny about them, but they know nothing (especially since Tabby Kitten licks her paw, and Sally Henny-penny flaps back into the barn clucking, "I go barefoot, barefoot, barefoot!" neither of which is very helpful) .Lucie goes out in search of three handkerchiefs and a pinafore which she has lost. She follows a path up a hill which leads to the home of a little washerwoman named Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. Lucie finds her handkerchiefs and pinafore there, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle having washed them. Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle also shows Lucie items of laundry which belong to various different animals. It is only at the end of the story when Lucie realizes that Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle is a hedgehog.
