Tony Dressed Up Like a Dear Old Grandma!

“That little rascal Tony came out dressed up like a dear old Grandma.”

You ought to have heard the clapping when big Waddy walked right up to a real telephone, and, taking the receiver off, held it up to her great big ear and began to make-believe talk. Such a noise as she made!

. . . in another minute, everybody shrieked with laughter when that little rascal Tony suddenly came out, dressed up like a dear old grandma, carrying a big tray on which was the supper for the elephants. Mollie and Waddy then began to eat, and Tony scampered off the stage.

Get Over Feeling Bad About Someone Sleeping in Your Bed!

“Somebody in my bed!”
The Three Bears
LITTLE FOLKS STORIES
McLoughlin Bro’s: New York. 1888.

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!
