Please Help Poor Bossy!
The cow, when she saw the little girls, went “Moo-oo-oo!” as if she were trying to say, “Can’t you help me?”
“Poor bossy!” said Alice; “I’ll try and help you.”
It was hard work, but after patient efforts bossy was released, and then she went “Moo-oo” again, as though she said, “Thank you.”

Set Free At Midnight!
THE HUT IN THE FOREST.
“I am a King’s son, and was bewitched by a wicked witch, and made to live in this forest, as an old gray-haired man; no one was allowed to be with me but my three attendants in the form of a cock, a hen, and a brindled cow. The spell was not to be broken until a girl came to us whose heart was so good that she showed herself full of love, not only towards mankind, but towards animals – and that thou hast done, and by thee at midnight we were set free, and the old hut in the forest was changed back again into my royal palace.”

Fun Without People!
An Old Fable Re-Told. – By Aesop Junior.
There was once a donkey – otherwise an ass – though a donkey can hardly have been even other-wise! Well, this ass (I do not speak sneeringly of him, for donkeys cannot help being asses), as I was saying, this creature lived in the strange country known as Animal-land, where there are no people, and we can only guess at the fun that goes on.

Miss. Long Legs!
Miss. Long Legs took it at a bound.
“Mercy, see that cow run!” exclaimed the red cow. “The farmer discovered her and set his dogs on her.”
“Land sakes!” exclaimed old Brindle, “she is going to run into that barbed wire fence without seeing it.”
But no, Miss. Long Legs took it at a bound, showing it was not the first fence of the kind she had jumped.
“Oh, what a shame! Just see what a lot of corn she has knocked over and trampled down, dodging those dogs.”
“Here she comes now!” exclaimed the red cow. “Let us be very cool to her to show her we don’t approve of such high-headed, ill-bred manners as one neighbor’s cow stealing corn out of another neighbor’s field.”

A Calf in a Pail!
“Stuck their whole head into it.”
When the calves were a little older, the farmer tried to teach them to drink out of a pail, but they either upset it, put their foot into it, or stuck their whole head into it so deep that when they came out even their eyes were filled with milk.

Tom Thumb!
. . . Tom Thumb’s mother took him with her when she went to milk the cow. It was a very windy evening and she tied the little fellow with a needleful of thread to a thistle, that he might not be blown away. Tom had a fine time, swinging and singing and talking with the bees and butterflies. But by the by a big red cow came along and, taking a fancy to his oak-leaf hat, picked him and the thistle up at one mouthful. When the cow began to chew the thistle, Tom was dreadfully frightened at her great teeth, and called out: “Mother! Mother!”
“Where are you, my dear boy?” cried his mother in alarm.
“Here, mother, here in the red cow’s mouth.”

Snobby British Durham Meets Texas Long-Horned Bull!
“Clear the road! Get off the bridge! I’m coming!”
. . . the Durham started on a run, bellowing as he went and hooking cows, calves, dogs, or anything else that came along, roaring at them to get out of the way and not to stand taking up the road when their betters wished to pass.
“Clear the road! Get off the bridge! I’m coming!” roared the Durham.
“Who are you that thinks he owns the earth?” quietly mooed back the long-horned bull”
“You’ll see if you don’t get off that bridge and give me some room to pass, and tell your herd of common cows to get to the side of the road out of my way.”

How To Build a Bumble Dragon!
“THE BUMBLE DRAGON”
All at once he came to an open place with huge rocks in it, and right in the middle lay an enormous Dragon.
He was sound asleep and snoring in a low rumble, every now and then coming to a very loud snort, and mumbling afterward.
Billy took a good long look at him. His body looked like a gigantic lizard with a long snake’s tail. His large webbed feet had claws like an eagle. But his head! Oh! What a funny head he had. It looked like a cow’s head, only there were scales on it, and a lion’s mane, and dog’s ears. Billy was just beginning to wonder why he was called a Bumble Dragon when he saw the great transparent wings of a Bumble Bee folded over his back.
