THUMBLING AS JOURNEYMAN

A certain tailor had a son, who happened to be small, and no bigger than a Thumb, and on this account he was always called Thumbling. He had, however, some courage in him, and said to his father, “Father, I must and will go out into the world.” “That’s right, my son,” said the old man, and took a long darning-needle and made a knob of sealing-wax on it at the candle, “and there is a sword for thee to take with thee on the way.”

WHAT IS IT?

I soon saw that, after all, the food was not my sort, so I went off again directly, but not before one of the Yellow Things had plucked up courage to come back and actually threaten to attack me – me, . .

Eat Nothing At All!

“There Was An Old Woman.”

There was an old woman

Called Nothing-at-all,

Who rejoiced in a dwelling

Exceedingly small:

A man stretched his mouth

To its utmost extent,

And down at one gulp

House and old woman went.

Rock An Elephant Baby!

Illustration:  Rocking the Cradle.  THE ADVENTURES OF MOLLIE, WADDY AND TONY.  Written by Paul Waitt.  Illustrations by Clara E. Atwood.  Little, Brown, and Company: Boston. 1915.

“Then he began the business of rocking that cradle.”

A tiny cradle, – it was a real baby’s cradle, – had been placed near the center of the stage. Tony soberly walked up to it and gently laid the baby elephant in the cradle, pulling up the bedclothes with his clever trunk and tenderly covering the baby.

Picking up a match from a table close by, he scratched it, and lit a candle on the table. Then he began the business of rocking the cradle, in such a funny manner that the boys and girls just shrieked with laughter.

Led a peaceable life,

When they were not troubled

With other folks’ strife.

Near Pussy would wait,

And was sure to receive

A nice piece from her plate.

To get him some tripe,

He was smoking a pipe.

To get him some beer,

But when she came back,

The Dog sat in a chair.

The Old Woman Never Told Lies!

There was an old woman lived under the hill,

And if she’s not gone she lives there still.

Baked apples she sold, and cranberry pies,

And she’s the old woman that never told lies.

“Scott, the Collie.”

 Now we come to a very different sort of dog. Scott came from Scotland last January, and is a handsome, princely dog. He comes of a very good family and has a pedigree a yard long, which means that he can tell you who his ancestors were for years and years.

Although he is very proud he is not above making himself useful, and in the picture you see him carrying a basket of apples. Indeed, he is very fond of carrying something, when out for a walk, such as a stick or an umbrella.
