Cinderella!
“Now fetch the mouse-trap from the shelf – there are six mice inside;”
She changed them to six prancing steeds, all harnessed side by side.
“Now fetch the rat-trap,” and there was therein a large black rat,
So he was made a coachman, with silk stockings and cocked hat.
Six lizards happening to be there, all ready to the hand,
Were changed to powdered footmen, staff and bouquet all so grand.
“Now, Cinderella, here’s your coach to take you to the ball.”
“Not as I am,” she cried; “like this I cannot go at all.”

Goodbye Old Year!
Old Year’s Departure.
The Old Year in his aeroplane, en route for Elfin Land,
Looks back as far as he can see, and waves a friendly hand,
And though he may not come again to dwell with us below,
In visions he may still return, in memory’s afterglow.
.
His brother Years, a countless throng, await the old, old Year,
And welcome him with toast and song, they’re proud of his career,
For he has given flowers and fruit and sun and ice for our delight,
So, “Bon voyage, Old Year!” Let’s shout when he sails off tonight.

And snowball fights with tiny forts –
These are their jolly winter sports.

While down the chimney goes the crew with gifts for your delight.

Delighted that they trot no more from Christmas Eve till morn.

Bring Me His Eyes Or Yours!
“Think of your own shoe.”
After the dancing had gone on for some time, the princess told the wizard that another young man had come to seek her hand, and asked what she should think of next morning when he came up to the palace to guess her thoughts.
“Listen! I will tell you,” replied the wizard. “Choose something very easy and simple, and he will be less likely to think of it. Think of your own shoe; he will never guess that. Then you can have his head cut off. But, mind! don’t forget to bring me his eyes to-morrow night. I will have either them or your own. Remember our bargain!”

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.”

Do Things Keep Getting Better?
“There sat the dog, with eyes as large as tea-cups.”
He opened the first door. Yes, there sat the dog, with eyes as large as tea-cups, staring at him.
“There’s a good dog!” said the soldier, as he spread the witch’s apron on the floor, and lifted the beast on to it. He then filled his pockets with the copper coins in the chest, shut the lid, put the dog back into his place, and passed on into the second room.
There sat the second dog, with eyes as large as mill-stones.
“You had really better not stare at me so,” said the soldier; “it will hurt your eyes!” As he said this he set the dog down on the witch’s apron and lifted the lid of the chest. No sooner did he catch sight of all the silver it held than he threw away his copper coins, and filled his pockets and his knapsack with the shining silver.
He now passed on into the third room. What a start he got! A dog in this room had a pair of eyes each as large as a big round tower, and they kept rolling round and round in his head like wheels.

Fatal moment for her, for true to his plans, Button planted one claw in her wig and pulled it down over her eyes, while with the other forepaw he scratched her face and clawed her breast with his hind ones.

Bread – Not A Good Stepping Stone!
“So the girl put on her best clothes and her newest shoes.”
So the girl put on her best clothes and her newest shoes, and lifted up her skirts, so that they would neither get dirty themselves nor soil her shoes. In this she was very wise; but she was neither wise nor good in something else that she did.
When she came to a road across a marsh, she found there was a great deal of mud and many pools of water. One of the pools was so deep that she flung the loaf into it, so that she might step on it, and thus get over the pool dry-shod.
But no sooner was her foot on the loaf than she began to sink. Down and down she went – first up to the waist, then up to the shoulders. At last she was quite out of sight, and there was only a bubbling in the pool to show where she had been!

When shadows creep at eventide
And little ones are safe inside,

On flitting fireflies wafted high
They light their candles in the sky.
