Mr. Elephant toddled around until he was all tired out.

And hit her right through the head, head, head.
Then he went home unto his little wife Joan,
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.

The Fox While You Chase A Bird!
HE MANAGED TO FLUTTER OUT OF REACH.
“Look!” cried one of the women, when she caught sight of him. “Oh, look at the little Blackbird there! His wing is broken and he cannot fly. I shall try to catch him.” And she ran as fast as she could, making her hands into a little cage to put over him. The other women, too, set down their baskets, for convenience–set them down right in the middle of the road–and joined the chase after the poor little Blackbird, so lame, so lame! But always, as they came close to him, he managed to flutter out of reach.

Rock An Elephant Baby!
“Then he began the business of rocking that cradle.”
A tiny cradle, – it was a real baby’s cradle, – had been placed near the center of the stage. Tony soberly walked up to it and gently laid the baby elephant in the cradle, pulling up the bedclothes with his clever trunk and tenderly covering the baby.
Picking up a match from a table close by, he scratched it, and lit a candle on the table. Then he began the business of rocking the cradle, in such a funny manner that the boys and girls just shrieked with laughter.

“TOM THUMB & THE FAIRY TAILORS”
One summer morning when the wee baby was only a few days old, the queen of the fairies flew in at the window of the room where he lay. She touched his cheek lightly with a butterfly kiss and gave him the name of Tom Thumb. She then ordered her fairy tailors to make for Tom a wonderful suit, his hat of an oak leaf, his shirt of a spider’s web, his jacket of thistledown, his trousers of apple-rind, and his shoes of the skin of a mouse, nicely tanned, with the hair inside.

Disgusting Dinner Party!
“The Rats and Mice Eating Up The King’s dinner.
“The King bought most of the ship’s cargo, and invited the Captain to dinner, which was no sooner served than out rushed a great number of rats and mice, and ate it up. “Oh!” said the Captain, “we’ll soon stop this!” and proceeded to the ship to fetch Pussy, while another dinner was being prepared. When the second meal was served, Pussy soon put an end to the troublesome visitors. This so pleased the King, that he sent Dick a chest of gold and jewels in exchange for the cat.
. . . Dick had to sleep in the garret, which was overrun with rats and mice; so, one day, as he was going on an errand for his young mistress he met a girl with a cat under her arm, and he gave her a penny for it.
All the servants were one day called into the office of the Merchant, and were told their master was going to send a ship out to the East, and that he would allow each to have a venture therein.
Each servant sent something, but poor Dick had only a cat, which was sent.
When the vessel had been some time out at sea, the Captain steered her on to the coast of Barbary.

Easter Must Have A Pale Pink Innovation!
Morning-Glory’s Easter Bonnet
Miss Glory, discarding last year’s creation,
For Easter must have a pale pink innovation;
The dream of last year is faded and small,
And blue’s the wrong color – it’s not chic at all.
“An American Beauty,” says Posy, “is style,
To wear my old bonnet is hardly worth while,
Since Paris proclaims that a Madame Cochet
Is entirely too small and absurdly passé.”

Jimmie decides he does not like being a lady!
“Just the thing!” he cried. “I’ll dress up and make believe to be a lady going calling.”
So he dressed up in his sister’s clothes and went for a walk as far as the meadow, where he plucked a handful of daisies.
“I don’t like being a lady,” said Jimmie, “for I can’t make any noise.”
So he ran back to the house and threw off his fine clothes.
“I’ll play soldier,” he said, “and beat my drum, and make lots of noise.

Curious Crocodiles Beside The River Nile!
“A Curious Sight”
. . . But wait until you’ve heard me tell
About my Crocodile.
And then I think that you’ll agree
You didn’t know such things could be
Beside the river Nile.
He wore a coat of brilliant hue,
He’d trousers and a waistcoat, too;
Upon his head a hat;
His gloves were of the latest shade,
A neat umbrella he displayed –
Now, what do you think of that?
But even as I gazed in awe,
A stranger figure still I saw –
It would have made you smile –
For there approached with gown so neat,
With hat and feathers all complete,
A Lady Crocodile!
They greeted one another, then
Went arm in arm across the plain
Beside the river Nile.
I’ve searched, but ah! I’ve searched in vain,
I’ve never seen a trace again
Of either Crocodile!
