Jolly Little Fairy Folk!
“HE SAW SOMETHING VERY DROLL WAS GOING ON.”
“And as he looked, the little black holes turned into bright black eyes; the bits of stems were changed to legs and arms and feet and sprawling little bodies, that rolled and twisted, and skipped and jumped, and twinkled and whirled in endless reels and jigs; in short, he saw a whole village of jolly little fairy folk at their revels.

Story Time For Goats!
ON THE ISLAND.
. . . Old Janet settled herself a little further off, winking and blinking at thought of the pleasure at hand. For at these times Nellie told them stories; and if you think they did not understand, I can only say that it was Nellie’e belief that her goats understood every word.

Idle? Taken Away a Year and a Day!
ROSAMOND THE IDLE.
Miss Rosamond May was so idle, they say,
That her wise fairy godmother took her away
To regions of fairy-land, cloudy and gray;
And there she must stay for a year and a day,
Or still longer, I fear,
Till she does all things that she didn’t do here!
All the stints and the chores that she thought were such bores;
The running of errands to markets and stores,
The making of beds and the sweeping of floors,
The tending of doors and the lessons in scores –
Ah, the poor little Miss!
How long it will take for her to finish all this!

Baby Food For The Wild Boar’s Piglets!
“BABY AT THE PIGLETS’ HOME.”
The boar, without so much as a “by your leave,” caught up Baby in his wide mouth and made off with him. . . running as fast as he could for the hills where his family lived in a cave. Baby was greatly surprised though not alarmed at this singular way of traveling. It was a topsy-turvy way. Sometimes his head was uppermost and sometimes his feet.
But the old boar held him gently, and Baby held by the boar’s ear, and kept himself tolerably upright part of the time. He never had ridden so fast in his life. In fact he had never ridden at all except on his father’s knee.
When they arrived at the family cave, the old boar tossed him to his family of piglets and said with a grunt: “Here, children, is a fine fat morsel for you!”
But he had forgotten that his piglets had not yet cut their teeth, and could not have eaten the finest, fattest morsel in the world.
