. . . But their heavy weights upon the ice, it grieves me to relate,
Were more than it could bear, and so they tumbled in like this!

Shave A Pig!
“Barber, Barber, Shave a Pig.”
Barber, barber, shave a pig;
How many hairs will make a wig?
“Four and twenty, that’s enough,”
Give the poor barber a pinch of snuff.

Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger;
Sneeze on Tuesday, kiss a stranger;
Sneeze on Wednesday, receive a letter;
Sneeze on Thursday, something better;
Sneeze on Friday, expect sorrow;
Sneeze on Saturday, joy to-morrow.

Silverlocks From The Three Bears
And, as the door stood open, in walked boldly,
This child, whose name was Silverlocks, I’m told;
There was nobody there to treat her coldly,
No friend to call her back, no nurse to scold.
She found herself within a parlour charming;
And there upon the table were placed
Three basins, sending up a smell so warming,
That she at once felt hungry, and must taste.
The largest basin first, but hot and biting
The soup was in it, and the second too;
The smallest basin tasted so inviting,
That up she ate it all, with small ado.

The Other Child Was Gone!
” . . . a great she-bear came up, and carried off one child unto her distant lair.”
And as she fled, weighed down by grief and sense of cruel scorn,
Lo, in the forest two fair sons to Bellisant were born;
But while her servant went to buy some food, a great she-bear
Came up, and carried off one child unto her distant lair.
Poor Bellisant ran after her, with many a sigh and moan;
In vain, – and when she turned again, the other child was gone!

Get Over Feeling Bad About Someone Sleeping in Your Bed!

The three bears stared for some time out of the window from whence Goldilocks took her flight; and though at first they were quite angry with the little girl and ready to eat her up, they soon got over these bad feelings, remembering that it is wise to
BEAR AND FORBEAR.
And if you’ll believe me, that little bear, who had made the biggest fuss, was just as proud as he could be to think that such a pretty girl had eaten his porridge – sat in his chair – and slept in his bed! Why, he actually hugged himself with delight! But as this feeling might not last long, I should advise you not to pry into other people’s affairs; and if you go in the woods keep away from the house of THE THREE BEARS!

1st P. B. – Isn’t it refreshing? I’ve tasted nothing like it since I left Spitzbergen.
2nd P. B. – No Indeed; and even at dear old Spitz we had to take it plain, but here we can get it coloured.
1st P. B. – That reminds me of the advice by friend Nansen gave me when he said good-bye. “If ever you happen to travel in a civilized country,” he said, “be sure to ask for an ice with strawberry flavouring.”
