Is It Better To Get Up Early?

Illustration:  Early To Bed, And Early To Rise.  NURSERY COLORED PICTURE BOOK.  McLOUGHLIN BROS.: NEW YORK. Ca 1870.

“EARLY TO BED, AND EARLY TO RISE.”

 “You naughty bird, I want to know

Why you so early rise;

You wake me, when you know that I

Have hardly closed my eyes?”

 

“Why, really, dear,” said Cocky Crow,

“I hear you with surprise;

You go to bed with other lambs,

And quickly shut your eyes.”

 

“So when I sound my morning call,

Be quick, my pet, and rise;

For that’s the way to healthy be,

And wealthy, love, and wise.”

“Oh! I am going to tell the King the sky is falling,” says Chicken Little.

“How do you know?” says Henny Penny.

“I saw it with my eyes, I heard it with my ears, and a piece of it fell on my head.”

“May I come with you?” says Henny Penny.

“Certainly,” says Chicken Little.

“They were all rather nervous.”

. . . just at that moment a voice from behind the fence said, “Well my goodness gracious! Pretty goings on, I must say!  Pepper-and-Salt come down this very minute, or I’ll know the reason why!”

They did come down, but not exactly as they had intended to do, for they all tumbled flop in a heap on the floor, amid squeals and howls from the audience.
