Winter Begins!
Lady Winter
Lady Winter clothed in ermine
On the North Wind gallops in,
Over crystal bridges bright,
Over carpets snowy white.

Scare the leaves that, romping, dancing,
Cease their merriment and play
And hurrying, scurrying, run away.

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.”

Pig In A Pear Tree!
Well, the little pig bustled up the next morning at four o’clock, and went off for the pears, hoping to get back before the wolf came. But he had further to go, and had to climb the tree, so that just as he was getting down from it he saw the wolf coming, which, as you may suppose, frightened him very much. When the wolf came up he said, “What! are you here before me? are they nice pears?” “Yes, very,” said the little pig. “I will throw you down one;” and he threw it so far that while the wolf was going to pick it up, the little pig jumped down and ran home.

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!

Land Of Topsy-Turvydom!
“WHAT WOULD YOU THINK?”
If you saw an elephant climb a tree
Or a snail in an eggshell go to sea,
Or a donkey drinking a cup of tea –
What would you think?
If you saw houses upside down,
A beggar wearing a golden crown,
If the stars were red and the clouds were brown –
What would you think?
If you saw pennies not round but square,
Or an oyster walking down the stair,
Or a lobster sitting in your arm-chair –
What would you think?
If I saw all these things, or some,
I’m sure I’d say that I had come
To the land of Topsy-turvydom –
What would you think?

And bade her a good fire make, make, make,
To roast the little duck he had shot at the brook,
Whilst he went and shot the drake, drake, drake.

O Lady Spring, so sweet and shy,
The whole world smiles when you pass by,

Of lovely green is laid for you,
The budding tree, the perfumed air
Bespeak a welcome everywhere.
