old HM story

[Gibbons - Deborah <dgibbons@UMD5.UMD.EDU>]

For several years I have been searching for a story called "twelve Years,
Twelve Animals"  in a Houghton Mifflin reader, possibly 1976 copyright.
The level was between 1st and 3rd grades, probably high 2nd or above.  It
was about a king who was having a party.  Cat had a toothache and was not
invited-that is why there is no year of the cat in the Chinese New Year.
Does anyone have a copy?  I have called HM and asked each representsative
I have seen and have received nothing.  If you have it I am willing to
buy the book, pay the postage, copy fees, whatever.  Thanks in advance.
