And then the gold egg was thrown into the sea,
When Jack he jumped in, and got it back presently.

Resolving at once his pockets to fill.

And mounting its back, flew up to the moon.

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.”

The Poor Dog Was Dead!
She went to the baker’s
To buy him some bread,

She went to the joiner’s
To buy him a coffin,
But when she came back,
The poor Dog was laughing.

The Other Child Was Gone!
” . . . a great she-bear came up, and carried off one child unto her distant lair.”
And as she fled, weighed down by grief and sense of cruel scorn,
Lo, in the forest two fair sons to Bellisant were born;
But while her servant went to buy some food, a great she-bear
Came up, and carried off one child unto her distant lair.
Poor Bellisant ran after her, with many a sigh and moan;
In vain, – and when she turned again, the other child was gone!
