STRANGE FRIENDS.
What do you think of that?
A bird in love with a cat.
This picture you see,
Is as true as can be;
Puss comes every day
At the risk of a fall,
To visit her friend
On the top of the wall;
For hours together
They’ll romp in this way,
Then the cat will go home,
And the bird fly away.

IN SCHOOL AND OUT.
When Jumbo was young and went to school
He soon found out this golden rule,
“Work when you work – play when you play,
That is always the wisest way!”
.
For if you play in school, mayhap,
You’ll have to wear a dunce’s cap;
And he who can’t his lessons say
Will have to work while others play!
.
So Jumbo first his lessons learned,
And then went out, his playtime earned,
And if an Elephant can be so wise
I’m sure a small boy can if he tries.
