“Quixote Quicksight.”
Quixote Quicksight, quiz’d a queerish quidbox,
A queerish quidbox Quixote Quicksight quizzed;
If Quixote Quicksight quiz’d a queerish quidbox,
Where’s the queerish quidbox Quixote Quicksight quiz’d?

Oh, he looks a funny “fellah!”

While his trunk holds his umbrella.

“RANJI.”
He has a lovely tenor voice,
So silvery in tone,
Whene’er I hear him sing “My Queen,”
I’m moved to tears, I own.
.
His recitations are renowned,
Both comic ones and sad;
He draws a little, too, and paints –
His paintings are not bad.
.
He plays on several instruments,
The jew’s harp and banjo;
I never stay when he begins,
It irritates me so.
.
His conduct as a husband, too
(He’s married, I should say),
Is everything it out to be,
Not grumpy nor too gay.

“HE LOOKED JUST LIKE PA WHEN HE TRIED TO SMILE.”
“O, about the teeth. That was too bad. You see my chum has got a dog that is old, and his teeth have all come out in front, and this morning I borrowed Pa’s teeth before he got up, to see if we couldn’t fix them in the dog’s mouth, so he could eat better. Pa says it is evidence of a kind heart for a boy to be good to dumb animals, but it is a darned mean dog that will go back on a friend. We tied the teeth in the dog’s mouth with a string that went around his upper jaw, and another around his under jaw, and you’d a dide to see how funny he looked when he laffed. He looked just like Pa when he tried to smile so as to get me to come up to him so he can lick me. The dog pawed his mouth a spell to get the teeth out, and then we gave him a bone with some meat on, and he began to gnaw the bone, and the teeth come off the plate, and he thought it was pieces of the bone, and he swallowed the teeth.

“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.
