+ Dump! + Down they fell, with such a thump, + Dog and Johnny in a lump! + + Once, with head as high as ever, + Johnny walked beside the river. + Johnny watched the swallows trying + Which was cleverest at flying. + Oh! what fun! + Johnny watched the bright round sun + Going in and coming out; + This was all he thought about. + So he strode on, only think! + To the river's very brink, + Where the bank was high and steep, + And the water very deep; + And the fishes, in a row, + Stared to see him coming so. + + One step more! oh! sad to tell! + Headlong in poor Johnny fell. + And the fishes, in dismay, + Wagged their tails and swam away. + + There lay Johnny on his face, + With his nice red writing-case; + But, as they were passing by, + Two strong men had heard him cry; + And, with sticks, these two strong men + Hooked poor Johnny out again. + + Oh! you should have seen him shiver + When they pulled him from the river. + He was in a sorry plight! + Dripping wet, and such a fright! + Wet all over, everywhere, + Clothes, and arms, and face, and hair: + Johnny never will forget + What it is to be so wet. + + And the fishes, one, two, three, + Are come back again, you see; + Up they came the moment after, + To enjoy the fun and laughter. + Each popped out his little head, + And, to tease poor Johnny, said + "Silly little Johnny, look, + You have lost your writing-book!" + + + + +The Story of Flying Robert + + + When the rain comes tumbling down + In the country or the town, + All good little girls and boys + Stay at home and mind their toys. + Robert thought, "No, when it pours, + It is better out of doors." + Rain it did, and in a minute + Bob was in it. + Here you see him, silly fellow, + Underneath his red umbrella. + + What a wind! oh! how it whistles + Through the trees and flowers and thistles! + It has caught his red umbrella: + Now look at him, silly fellow-- + Up he flies + To the skies. + No one heard his screams and cries; + Through the clouds the rude wind bore him, + And his hat flew on before him. + + Soon they got to such a height, + They were nearly out of sight. + And the hat went up so high, + That it nearly touched the sky. + No one ever yet could tell + Where they stopped, or where they fell: + Only this one thing is plain, + Bob was never seen again!

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/old/12116-h/images/001.jpg b/old/12116-h/images/001.jpg Binary files

+ They screamed for help, 'twas all in vain! + So then they said: "We'll scream again; + Make haste, make haste, me-ow, me-o, + She'll burn to death; we told her so." + + So she was burnt, with all her clothes, + And arms, and hands, and eyes, and nose; + Till she had nothing more to lose + Except her little scarlet shoes; + And nothing else but these was found + Among her ashes on the ground. + + And when the good cats sat beside + The smoking ashes, how they cried! + "Me-ow, me-oo, me-ow, me-oo, + What will Mamma and Nursey do?" + Their tears ran down their cheeks so fast, + They made a little pond at last. + + + + +The Story of the Inky Boys + + + As he had often done before, + The woolly-headed Black-a-moor + One nice fine summer's day went out + To see the shops, and walk about; + And, as he found it hot, poor fellow, + He took with him his green umbrella, + Then Edward, little noisy wag, + Ran out and laughed, and waved his flag; + And William came in jacket trim, + And brought his wooden hoop with him; + And Arthur, too, snatched up his toys + And joined the other naughty boys. + So, one and all set up a roar, + And laughed and hooted more and more, + And kept on singing,--only think!-- + "Oh, Blacky, you're as black as ink!" + + Now tall Agrippa lived close by-- + So tall, he almost touched the sky; + He had a mighty inkstand, too, + In which a great goose-feather grew; + He called out in an angry tone + "Boys, leave the Black-a-moor alone! + For, if he tries with all his might, + He cannot change from black to white." + But, ah! they did not mind a bit + What great Agrippa said of it; + But went on laughing, as before, + And hooting at the Black-a-moor. + + Then great Agrippa foams with rage-- + Look at him on this very page! + He seizes Arthur, seizes Ned, + Takes William by his little head; + + And they may scream and kick and call, + Into the ink he dips them all; + Into the inkstand, one, two, three, + Till they are black as black can be; + Turn over now, and you shall see. + + See, there they are, and there they run! + The Black-a-moor enjoys the fun. + They have been made as black as crows, + Quite black all over, eyes and nose, + And legs, and arms, and heads, and toes, + And trousers, pinafores, and toys-- + The silly little inky boys! + Because they set up such a roar, + And teased the harmless Black-a-moor. + + + + +The Story of the Man that went out Shooting + + + This is the man that shoots the hares; + This is the coat he always wears: + With game-bag, powder-horn, and gun + He's going out to have some fun. + + He finds it hard, without a pair + Of spectacles, to shoot the hare. + The hare sits snug in leaves and grass, + And laughs to see the green man pass. + + Now, as the sun grew very hot, + And he a heavy gun had got, + He lay down underneath a tree + And went to sleep, as you may see. + And, while he slept like any top, + The little hare came, hop, hop, hop, + Took gun and spectacles, and then + On her hind legs went off again. + + The green man wakes and sees her place + The spectacles upon her face; + And now she's trying all she can + To shoot the sleepy, green-coat man. + He cries and screams and runs away; + The hare runs after him all day + And hears him call out everywhere: + "Help! Fire! Help! The Hare! The Hare!" + + At last he stumbled at the well, + Head over ears, and in he fell. + The hare stopped short, took aim and, hark! + Bang went the gun--she missed her mark! + + The poor man's wife was drinking up + Her coffee in her coffee-cup; + The gun shot cup and saucer through; + "Oh dear!" cried she; "what shall I do?" + There lived close by the cottage there + The hare's own child, the little hare; + And while she stood upon her toes, + The coffee fell and burned her nose. + "Oh dear!" she cried, with spoon in hand, + "Such fun I do not understand." + + + + +The Story of Little Suck-a-Thumb + + + One day Mamma said "Conrad dear, + I must go out and leave you here. + But mind now, Conrad, what I say, + Don't suck your thumb while I'm away. + The great tall tailor always comes + To little boys who suck their thumbs; + And ere they dream what he's about, + He takes his great sharp scissors out, + And cuts their thumbs clean off--and then, + You know, they never grow again." + + Mamma had scarcely turned her back, + The thumb was in, Alack! Alack! + + The door flew open, in he ran, + The great, long, red-legged scissor-man. + Oh! children, see! the tailor's come + And caught out little Suck-a-Thumb. + Snip! Snap!

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + diff --git a/old/12116.zip b/old/12116.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f480f96 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/12116.zip |
