Just then Malurus's first wife came along. She heard him singing and stopped to listen.

Blue, Blue! Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty!

What are you singing about, Malurus? she said.

Oh, hello, KittyKitty. I'm singing about my new coat. Isn't it so pretty? Blue, blue, pretty pretty pretty!

KittyKitty thought the coat was quite pretty, and she asked if he would come help her hunt for food.

Not now, KittyKitty, I want to dance some more with my new coat!

And Malurus gave a couple of little hops and then leaped in the air and flew off. KittyKitty wasn't very happy, but she went on her way to go hunt for caterpillars.
