This +shoe stood near a great forest, and was so large that it served as a +house for the Old Lady and all her children, of which she had so many +that she did not know what to do with them.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft01.jpg" alt="Illustration: Old Woman with children and Shoe." width="375" height="528"> +</div> +<p> +But the Little Old Woman was very fond of her children, and they only +thought of the best way to please her. Strong-arm, the eldest, cut +down trees for firewood. Peter made baskets of wicker-work. Mark was +chief gardener. Lizzie milked the cow, and Jenny taught the younger +children to read.</p> +<p> +Now this Little Old Woman had not always lived in a Shoe. She and +her family had once dwelt in a nice house covered with ivy, and her +husband was a wood-cutter, like Strong-arm. But there lived in a huge +castle beyond the forest, a fierce giant, who one day came and laid +their house in ruins with his club; after which he carried off the +poor wood-cutter to his castle beyond the forest. When the Little Old +Woman came home, her house was in ruins and her husband was no where +to be seen.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft02.jpg" alt="Illustration: Giant holding Wood-cutter." width="373" height="526"> +</div> +<p> +Night came on, and as the father did not return, the Old Lady and her +family went to search for him. When they came to that part of the +wood where the Giant had met their father, they saw an immense shoe. +They spent a long time weeping and calling out for their father, but +met with no reply. Then the Old Lady thought that they had better +take shelter in the shoe until they could build a new house. So Peter +and Strong-arm put a roof to it, and cut a door, and turned it into a +dwelling. Here they all lived happily for many years, but the Little +Old Lady never forgot her husband and his sad fate. Strong-arm, who +saw how wretched his mother often was about it, proposed to the next +eleven brothers that they should go with him and set their father +free from the Giant. Their mother knew the Giant's strength, and +would not hear of the attempt, as she feared they would be killed. +But Strong-arm was not afraid. He bought a dozen sharp swords, and +Peter made as many strong shields and helmets, as well as cross-bows +and iron-headed arrows. They were now quite ready; Strong-arm gave +the order to march, and they started for the forest. The next day +they came in sight of the Giant's Castle. Strong-arm, leaving his +brothers in a wood close by, strode boldly up to the entrance, and +seized the knocker. The door was opened by a funny little boy with a +large head, who kept grinning and laughing.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft03.jpg" alt="Illustration: Strong-arm and Boy with Large Head." width="372" height="528"> +</div> +<p> +Strong-arm then walked boldly across the court-yard, and presently +met a page, who took off his hat and asked him what he wanted. +Strong-arm said he had come to liberate his father, who was kept a +prisoner by the Giant; on this the little man said he was sorry for +him, because the part of the castle in which his father was kept was +guarded by a large dragon. Strong-arm, nothing daunted, soon found +the monster, who was fast asleep, so he made short work of him by +sending his sword right through his heart; at which he jumped up, +uttering a loud scream, and made as if he would spring forward and +seize Strong-arm; but the good sword had done its work, and the +monster fell heavily on the ground, dead.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft04.jpg" alt="Illustration: Strong-arm killing Dragon." width="373" height="529"> +</div> +<p> +Now the Giant, who had been drinking much wine, was fast asleep in a +remote part of the castle. Strong-arm had no sooner finished the +Dragon, than up started the funny little boy who had opened the door. +He led Strong-arm round to another part of the court-yard, where he +saw his poor father, who at once sprung to his feet, and embraced +him. Then Strong-arm called up his brothers, and when they had +embraced their father, they soon broke his chain and set him +free.</p> +<p> +We must now return to the Little Old Woman. After her sons had +started she gave way to the most bitter grief. While she was in this +state, an old witch came up to her, and said she would help her, as +she hated the Giant, and wished to kill him. The Old Witch then took +the little Old Lady on her broom, and they sailed off through the +air, straight to the Giant's castle.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft05.jpg" alt="Illustration: Witch and Lady on broom." width="375" height="531"> +</div> +<p> +Now this old Witch had great power, and at once afflicted the Giant +with corns and tender feet. When he awoke from his sleep he was in +such pain that he could bear it no longer, so he thought he would go +in search of his missing shoe, which, like the other one he had in +his castle, was easy and large for his foot. When he came to the +spot where the Old Lady and her children lived, he saw his old shoe, +and with a laugh that shook the trees, he thrust his foot into it, +breaking through the roof that Strong-arm and Peter had put to it. +The children, in great alarm, rushed about inside the shoe, and +frightened and trembling, scrambled through the door and the slits +which the Giant had formerly made for his corns. By this time the +witch and the Little Old Lady, as also Strong-arm, his eleven +brother and his father, were come up to the spot. Strong-arm and his +brothers shot their arrows at him till at last he fell wounded, when +Strong-arm went up to him and cut off his head. Then the father and +the Little Old Woman and all their children built a new house, and +lived happily ever afterwards.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft06.jpg" alt="Illustration: Strong-arm cutting off Giant's head." width="373" height="524"> +</div> + +<h3 id="fpb3">THE BABES IN THE WOOD.</h3> + +<p> +A gentleman of good account<br> + In Norfolk dwelt of late,<br> +Whose wealth and riches did surmount<br> + Most men of his estate.</p> +<p> +Sore sick he was, and like to die,<br> + No help his life could save;<br> +His wife by him as sick did lie,<br> + And both were near the grave.</p> +<p> +No love between these two was lost:<br> + Each to the other kind;<br> +In love they lived, in love they died,<br> + And left two babes behind.</p> +<p> +Now if the children chanced to die,<br> + Ere they to age should come,<br> +Their uncle should possess their wealth:<br> + For so the will did run.</p> +<p> +“Now brother,” said the dying man,<br> + “Look to my children dear;<br> +Be good unto my boy and girl,<br> + No friend else have they here.”</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft07.jpg" alt="Illustration: Babes and Uncle at death-bed." width="371" height="523"> +</div> +<p> +Their parents being dead and gone,<br> + The children home he takes,<br> +And brings them both unto his house,<br> + Where much of them he makes.</p> +<p> +He had not kept these pretty babes<br> + A twelvemonth and a day,<br> +When, for their wealth, he did devise<br> + To make them both away.</p> +<p> +He bargain'd with two ruffians bold,<br> + Who were of savage mood,<br> +That they should take the children twain,<br> + And slay them in a wood.</p> +<p> +They prate and prattle pleasantly<br> + While riding on the way,<br> +To those their wicked uncle hired,<br> + These lovely babes to slay:</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft08.jpg" alt="Illustration: Babes and Ruffians on horse-back." width="374" height="529"> +</div> +<p> +So that the pretty speech they had,<br> + Made the ruffians' heart relent;<br> +And they that took the deed to do,<br> + Full sorely did repent.</p> +<p> +Yet one of them, more hard of heart,<br> + Did vow to do his charge,<br> +Because the wretch that hired him<br> + Had paid him very large.</p> +<p> +The other would not agree thereto,<br> + So here they fell at strife;<br> +With one another they did fight,<br> + About the children's life:</p> +<p> +And he that was of milder mood,<br> + Did slay the other there,<br> +Within an unfrequented wood;<br> + The babes did quake for fear!</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft09.jpg" alt="Illustration: Ruffian being killed." width="373" height="528"> +</div> +<p> +He took the children by the hand,<br> + While they for bread complain:<br> +“Stay here,” said he, “I'll bring ye bread,<br> + When I do come again.”</p> +<p> +These pretty babes, with hand in hand,<br> + Went wandering up and down;<br> +But never more they saw the man,<br> + Approaching from the town:</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft10.jpg" alt="Illustration: Babes wandering." width="373" height="526"> +</div> +<p> +Thus wander'd these two pretty dears,<br> + Till death did end their grief;<br> +In one another's arms they died,<br> + Poor babes, past all relief:</p> +<p> +No burial these innocents<br> + Of any man receives,<br> +But robin red-breast lovingly<br> + Did cover them with leaves.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft11.jpg" alt="Illustration: Robin covering Babes with leaves." width="377" height="532"> +</div> +<p> +The fellow that did take in hand<br> + These children for to kill,<br> +Was for a robbery judged to die,<br> + As was God's blessed will:</p> +<p> +And did confess the very truth,<br> + The which is here express'd;<br> +Their uncle died while he for debt<br> + Did long in prison rest.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft12.jpg" alt="Illustration: Uncle in prison." width="376" height="530"> +</div> + +<h3 id="fpb4">LITTLE BO-PEEP.</h3> + +<p>“Little Bo-Peep she lost her sheep<br> + And didn't know where to find them.<br> +Let them alone, and they'll come home,<br> + And bring their tails behind them!”</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft13.jpg" alt="Illustration: Bo-peep searching." width="353" height="482"> +</div> + +<p> +So runs the Nursery Rhyme. Little Bo-Peep was a very nice little +girl. Her cheeks had a bloom on them like a lovely peach, and her +voice sounded like a sweet silver bell.</p> +<p> +But though Little Bo-Peep was as good as she was beautiful, she +sometimes met with misfortunes that made her very sad. Once, when she +lost her sheep, she was very doleful indeed. And this is how it +happened.</p> +<p> +One summer evening, when the sun was setting, Little Bo-Peep, who had +to rise very early in the morning, felt tired, and sat down on a bank +covered with daisies. Being very weary she soon fell fast asleep. Now +the Bell-wether of Bo-Peep's flock was a most stupid and stubborn +fellow. I dare say you know that all the sheep in a flock will follow +the Bell-wether, and that he always wears a bell round his neck. It +was a great pity, but the Bell-wether of Bo-Peep's flock was very +wild, and was much given to wander far away into the wood, where of +course the rest of the sheep would follow him.</p> +<p> +Finding Little Bo-Peep asleep, the tiresome fellow began by standing +on his hind legs and making a great bow to his shadow before him on +the grass. After this he whirled himself round like a top, shaking +his head all the time, and ringing his bell.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft14.jpg" alt="Illustration: Bo-Peep asleep; Bell-wether capering." width="378" height="535"> +</div> +<p> +Very soon the rest of the flock began to dance and caper too. And +when they had wheeled round their leader for a time, they ran off +after him with a bound into the wood. Away they went, till they were +quite tired out; and then they came to a stand-still, staring at their +leader with very blank faces. But the Bell-wether looked foolish +enough now, and did nothing but shake his head slowly and ring his +bell, which seemed to say quite clearly, “You are lost, you are +lost!”</p> +<p> +When Little Bo-Peep awoke she found her sheep gone, and hardly +knowing what she did, she walked on and on, far into the wood. She +met some people with hoes and rakes in their hands, and asked them if +they had seen her sheep. But they only laughed at her, and said, No. +One man was very cross, and threatened to beat her. At last she came +to a stile, on which an old Raven was perched. He looked so wise that +Little Bo-Peep asked him whether he had seen a flock of sheep. But he +only cried “Caw, caw, caw;” so Bo-Peep ran on again across the +fields.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft15.jpg" alt="Illustration: Bo-peep and Raven." width="375" height="527"> +</div> +<p> +She wandered on till night-fall, and being faint with hunger, was +very glad to see a light just before her. As she went on, she saw +that it shone from a cottage window. But when she came to the door, +it looked so dark and dismal that she was afraid to go in, and was +just going to run away, when a cross-looking old woman came out, and +dragged her into the cottage. She made her sit by the side of her +son, who was a very ugly youth with a great red face and red +hair.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft16.jpg" alt="Illustration: Bo-peep and ugly Youth." width="376" height="530"> +</div> +<p> +The old woman told him that she had brought Bo-Peep to be his wife, +so Bo-Peep, who did not like him at all, ran away while they were +asleep. But she did not know where to go, and gave herself up for +lost, when she heard something cry, “tu-whit—tu-whoo,” in the +tree above her. It was a great owl, which began flapping its wings +with joy. Bo-Peep was frightened at first, but as the owl seemed very +kind, she followed it. It took her to a cottage were there was plenty +to eat and drink, and then, to Bo-Peep's great surprise, it began to +speak, and told her this story:—</p> +<p> +“Know, dear Maiden,” said the owl, “that I am the daughter of a King, +and was a lovely Princess; but I was changed into an owl by the old +woman at the cottage, because I would not marry her ugly son. But I +have heard the fairies say that one day a lovely maiden, who would +come into this wood to find her lost sheep, should be the means of my +gaining my own form again. You are that pretty maid, and I will take +you to a spot where you will find your sheep, but without their +tails. The elves will play with them for this night, but in the +morning every sheep will have its tail again, except the stupid +Bell-wether. You must then wave his tail three times over my head, +and I shall resume my shape again.”</p> +<p> +The owl flew off, and led Bo-Peep into the wood, and said, “Sleep, +maiden, I will watch.” How long she was asleep she could not tell, +but the charmed spot was suddenly lighted up, and she saw the Queen +of the Fairies seated on a bank. The Queen said the sheep should be +punished for running away. She then saw all her sheep come trooping +into the place, and on every sheep there was an Elf, who held in his +hand a sheep's tail.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft17.jpg" alt="Illustration: Sheep and Elves." width="373" height="529"> +</div> +<p> +After riding them about for some time, and having great fun with +them, the mad sport ceased, and each Elf restored the tail to his +sheep—all but the Bell-wether's, which their leader hid in a +tree.

Some of these little pigs were +very good, and took a great deal of trouble to please her. The eldest +pig was so active and useful that he was called Mr. Pig. One day he +went to market with his cart full of vegetables, but Rusty, the +donkey, began to show his bad temper before he had gone very far on +the road. All the coaxing and whipping would not make him move. So +Mr. Pig took him out of the shafts, and being very strong, drew the +cart to market himself. When he got there, all the other pigs began +to laugh. But they did not laugh so loudly when Mr. Pig told them +all his struggles on the road. Mr. Pig lost no time in selling +his vegetables, and very soon after Rusty came trotting into the +market-place, and as he now seemed willing to take his place in the +cart, Mr. Pig started for home without delay. When he got there, he +told Mrs. Pig his story, and she called him her best and most worthy +son.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft20.jpg" alt="Illustration: Little Pig with mother." width="374" height="530"> +</div> +<h4>The Little Pig who Stayed at Home.</h4> +<p> +This little pig very much wanted to go with his brother, but as he +was so mischievous that he could not be trusted far away, his mother +made him stay at home, and told him to keep a good fire while she +went out to the miller's to buy some flour. But as soon as he was +alone, instead of learning his lessons, he began to tease the poor +cat. Then he got the bellows, and cut the leather with a knife, so as +to see where the wind came from: and when he could not find this out, +he began to cry. After this he broke all his brother's toys; he +forced the drum-stick through the drum, he tore off the tail from the +kite, and then pulled off the horse's head. And then he went to the +cupboard and ate the jam. When Mrs. Pig came home, she sat down by +the fire, and being very tired, she soon fell asleep. No sooner had +she done so, than this bad little pig got a long handkerchief and +tied her in her chair. But soon she awoke and found out all the +mischief that he had been doing. She saw at once the damage that he +had done to his brother's playthings. So she quickly brought out her +thickest and heaviest birch, and gave this naughty little pig such a +beating as he did not forget for a long time.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/ft21.jpg" alt="Illustration: Little Pig tying mother to chair." width="371" height="529"> +</div> +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/ft22.jpg" alt="Illustration: Little Pig in Dunce cap." width="373" height="525"> +</div> + +<h4>The Little Pig who had Roast Beef.</h4> +<p> +This little pig was a very good and careful fellow. He gave his +mother scarcely any trouble, and always took a pleasure in doing all +she bade him. Here you see him sitting down with clean hands and +face, to some nice roast beef, while his brother, the idle pig, who +is standing on a stool in the corner, with the dunce's cap on, has +none. He sat down and quietly learned his lesson, and asked his +mother to hear him repeat it. And this he did so well that Mrs. Pig +stroked him on the ears and forehead, and called him a good little +pig. After this he asked her to allow him to help her make tea. +He brought everything she wanted, and lifted off the kettle from +the fire, without spilling a drop either on his toes or the carpet. +By-and-bye he went out, after asking his mother's leave, to play with +his hoop. He had not gone far when he saw an old blind pig, who, with +his hat in his hand was crying at the loss of his dog; so he put his +hand in his pocket and found a halfpenny which he gave to the poor +old pig. It was for such thoughtful conduct as this that his mother +often gave this little pig roast beef. We now come to the little pig +who had none.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft23.jpg" alt="Illustration: Little Pig eating roast beef." width="376" height="530"> +</div> +<h4>The Little Pig who had None.</h4> +<p> +This was a most obstinate and wilful little pig. His mother had set +him to learn his lesson, but no sooner had she gone out into the +garden, than he tore his book into pieces. When his mother came back +he ran off into the streets to play with other idle little pigs like +himself. After this he quarrelled with one of the pigs and got a +sound thrashing. Being afraid to go home, he stayed out till it was +quite dark and caught a severe cold. So he was taken home and put to +bed, and had to take a lot of nasty physic.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft24.jpg" alt="Illustration: Little Pig running home." width="377" height="531"> +</div> +<h4>The Little Pig who Cried “Wee, wee,” all the Way Home.</h4> +<p> +This little pig went fishing. Now he had been told not to go into +Farmer Grumpey's grounds, who did not allow any one to fish in his +part of the river. But in spite of what he had been told, this +foolish little pig went there. He soon caught a very large fish, and +while he was trying to carry it home, Farmer Grumpey came running +along with his great whip. He quickly dropped the fish, but the +farmer caught him, and as he laid his whip over his back for some +time, the little pig ran off, crying, “Wee, wee, wee,” all the way +home.</p> + +<h3 id="fpb6">THE HISTORY OF OLD MOTHER GOOSE AND HER SON JACK.</h3> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft25.jpg" alt="Illustration: Mother Goose and family." width="356" height="489"> +</div> +<p> +Old Mother Goose lived in a cottage with her son Jack. Jack was a +very good lad, and although he was not handsome, he was good-tempered +and industrious, and this made him better-looking than half the other +boys. Old Mother Goose carried a long stick, she wore a high-crowned +hat, and high-heeled shoes, and her kerchief was as white as snow. +Then there was the Gander that swam in the pond, and the Owl that sat +on the wall. So you see they formed a very happy family. But what a +fine strong fellow the Gander was! Whenever Old Mother Goose wanted +to take a journey, she would mount upon his broad strong back, and +away he would fly and carry her swiftly to any distance.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft26.jpg" alt="Illustration: Mother Goose and Gander flying." width="375" height="527"> +</div> +<p> +Now Old Mother Goose thought her Gander often looked sad and lonely; +so one day she sent Jack to market to buy the finest Goose he could +find. It was early in the morning when he started, and his way lay +through a wood. He was not afraid of robbers; so on he went, with his +Mother's great clothes-prop over his shoulder. The fresh morning air +caused Jack's spirits to rise. He left the road, and plunged into the +thick of the wood, where he amused himself by leaping with his +clothes-prop till he found he had lost himself. After he had made +many attempts to find the path again, he heard a scream. He jumped up +and ran boldly towards the spot from which the sound came. Through an +opening in the trees he saw a young lady trying to get away from a +ruffian who wanted to steal her mantle. With one heavy blow of his +staff Jack sent the thief howling away, and then went back to the +young lady, who was lying on the ground, crying.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft27.jpg" alt="Illustration: Jack and young lady." width="376" height="529"> +</div> +<p> +She soon dried her tears when she found that the robber had made off, +and thanked Jack for his help. The young lady told Jack that she was +the daughter of the Squire, who lived in the great white house on the +hill-top. She knew the path out of the wood quite well, and when they +reached the border, she said that Jack must come soon to her father's +house, so that he might thank him for his noble conduct.</p> +<p> +When Jack was left alone, he made the best of his way to the +market-place. He found little trouble in picking out the best Goose, +for when he got there he was very late, and there was but one left. +But as it was a prime one, Jack bought it at once, and keeping to the +road, made straight for home. At first the Goose objected to be +carried; and then, when she had walked along slowly and gravely for a +short time, she tried to fly away; so Jack seized her in his arms and +kept her there till he reached home.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft28.jpg" alt="Illustration: Jack carrying Goose." width="380" height="532"> +</div> +<p> +Old Mother Goose was greatly pleased when she saw what a fine bird +Jack had bought; and the Gander showed more joy than I can describe. +And then they all lived very happily for a long time. But Jack would +often leave off work to dream of the lovely young lady whom he had +rescued in the forest, and soon began to sigh all day long. He +neglected the garden, cared no more for the Gander, and scarcely even +noticed the beautiful Goose. But one morning, as he was walking by +the pond, he saw both the Goose and the Gander making a great noise, +as though they were in the utmost glee. He went up to them and was +surprised to find on the bank a large golden egg. He ran with it to +his mother, who said, “Go to market, my son; sell your egg, and you +will soon be rich enough to pay a visit to the Squire.” So to market +Jack went, and sold his golden egg; but the rogue who bought it of +him cheated him out of half his due. Then he dressed himself in his +finest clothes, and went up to the Squire's house. Two footmen stood +at the door, one looking very stout and saucy, and the other sleepy +and stupid.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft29.jpg" alt="Illustration: Jack and Footmen." width="375" height="527"> +</div> +<p> +When Jack asked to see the Squire, they laughed at him, and made +sport of his fine clothes; but Jack had wit enough to offer them each +a guinea, when they at once showed him to the Squire's room.</p> +<p> +Now the Squire, who was very rich, was also very proud and fat, and +scarcely turned his head to notice Jack; but when he showed him his +bag of gold, and asked for his daughter to be his bride, the Squire +flew into a rage, and ordered his servants to throw him into the +horse-pond. But this was not so easy to do, for Jack was strong and +active; and then the young lady come out and begged her father to +release him. This made Jack more deeply in love with her than ever, +and he went home determined to win her in spite of all. And well did +his wonderful Goose aid him in his design. Almost every morning she +would lay him a golden egg, and Jack, grown wiser, would no longer +sell them at half their value to the rogue who had before cheated +him. So Jack soon grew to be a richer man than the Squire himself. +His wealth became known to all the country round, and the Squire at +length consented to accept Jack as his son-in-law. Then Old Mother +Goose flew away into the woods on the back of her strong Gander, +leaving the cottage and the Goose to Jack and his bride, who lived +happily ever afterwards.</p> +<div class="figcenter"> + <img src="images/ft30.jpg" alt="Illustration: Jack and Squire." width="376" height="527"> +</div> + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's My First Picture Book, by Joseph Martin Kronheim + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK MY FIRST PICTURE BOOK *** + +***** This file should be named 18937-h.htm or 18937-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/1/8/9/3/18937/ + +Produced by Andrew Sly + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

This +shoe stood near a great forest, and was so large that it served as a +house for the Old Lady and all her children, of which she had so many +that she did not know what to do with them. + +[Illustration: Old Woman with children and Shoe.] + +But the Little Old Woman was very fond of her children, and they only +thought of the best way to please her. Strong-arm, the eldest, cut +down trees for firewood. Peter made baskets of wicker-work. Mark was +chief gardener. Lizzie milked the cow, and Jenny taught the younger +children to read. + +Now this Little Old Woman had not always lived in a Shoe. She and +her family had once dwelt in a nice house covered with ivy, and her +husband was a wood-cutter, like Strong-arm. But there lived in a huge +castle beyond the forest, a fierce giant, who one day came and laid +their house in ruins with his club; after which he carried off the +poor wood-cutter to his castle beyond the forest. When the Little Old +Woman came home, her house was in ruins and her husband was no where +to be seen. + +[Illustration: Giant holding Wood-cutter.] + +Night came on, and as the father did not return, the Old Lady and her +family went to search for him. When they came to that part of the +wood where the Giant had met their father, they saw an immense shoe. +They spent a long time weeping and calling out for their father, but +met with no reply. Then the Old Lady thought that they had better +take shelter in the shoe until they could build a new house. So Peter +and Strong-arm put a roof to it, and cut a door, and turned it into a +dwelling. Here they all lived happily for many years, but the Little +Old Lady never forgot her husband and his sad fate. Strong-arm, who +saw how wretched his mother often was about it, proposed to the next +eleven brothers that they should go with him and set their father +free from the Giant. Their mother knew the Giant's strength, and +would not hear of the attempt, as she feared they would be killed. +But Strong-arm was not afraid. He bought a dozen sharp swords, and +Peter made as many strong shields and helmets, as well as cross-bows +and iron-headed arrows. They were now quite ready; Strong-arm gave +the order to march, and they started for the forest. The next day +they came in sight of the Giant's Castle. Strong-arm, leaving his +brothers in a wood close by, strode boldly up to the entrance, and +seized the knocker. The door was opened by a funny little boy with a +large head, who kept grinning and laughing. + +[Illustration: Strong-arm and Boy with Large Head.] + +Strong-arm then walked boldly across the court-yard, and presently +met a page, who took off his hat and asked him what he wanted. +Strong-arm said he had come to liberate his father, who was kept a +prisoner by the Giant; on this the little man said he was sorry for +him, because the part of the castle in which his father was kept was +guarded by a large dragon. Strong-arm, nothing daunted, soon found +the monster, who was fast asleep, so he made short work of him by +sending his sword right through his heart; at which he jumped up, +uttering a loud scream, and made as if he would spring forward and +seize Strong-arm; but the good sword had done its work, and the +monster fell heavily on the ground, dead. + +[Illustration: Strong-arm killing Dragon.] + +Now the Giant, who had been drinking much wine, was fast asleep in a +remote part of the castle. Strong-arm had no sooner finished the +Dragon, than up started the funny little boy who had opened the door. +He led Strong-arm round to another part of the court-yard, where he +saw his poor father, who at once sprung to his feet, and embraced +him. Then Strong-arm called up his brothers, and when they had +embraced their father, they soon broke his chain and set him +free. + +We must now return to the Little Old Woman. After her sons had +started she gave way to the most bitter grief. While she was in this +state, an old witch came up to her, and said she would help her, as +she hated the Giant, and wished to kill him. The Old Witch then took +the little Old Lady on her broom, and they sailed off through the +air, straight to the Giant's castle. + +[Illustration: Witch and Lady on broom.] + +Now this old Witch had great power, and at once afflicted the Giant +with corns and tender feet. When he awoke from his sleep he was in +such pain that he could bear it no longer, so he thought he would go +in search of his missing shoe, which, like the other one he had in +his castle, was easy and large for his foot. When he came to the +spot where the Old Lady and her children lived, he saw his old shoe, +and with a laugh that shook the trees, he thrust his foot into it, +breaking through the roof that Strong-arm and Peter had put to it. +The children, in great alarm, rushed about inside the shoe, and +frightened and trembling, scrambled through the door and the slits +which the Giant had formerly made for his corns. By this time the +witch and the Little Old Lady, as also Strong-arm, his eleven +brother and his father, were come up to the spot. Strong-arm and his +brothers shot their arrows at him till at last he fell wounded, when +Strong-arm went up to him and cut off his head. Then the father and +the Little Old Woman and all their children built a new house, and +lived happily ever afterwards. + +[Illustration: Strong-arm cutting off Giant's head.] + + + +THE BABES IN THE WOOD. + + +A gentleman of good account + In Norfolk dwelt of late, +Whose wealth and riches did surmount + Most men of his estate. + +Sore sick he was, and like to die, + No help his life could save; +His wife by him as sick did lie, + And both were near the grave. + +No love between these two was lost: + Each to the other kind; +In love they lived, in love they died, + And left two babes behind. + +Now if the children chanced to die, + Ere they to age should come, +Their uncle should possess their wealth: + For so the will did run. + +"Now brother," said the dying man, + "Look to my children dear; +Be good unto my boy and girl, + No friend else have they here." + +[Illustration: Babes and Uncle at death-bed.] + +Their parents being dead and gone, + The children home he takes, +And brings them both unto his house, + Where much of them he makes. + +He had not kept these pretty babes + A twelvemonth and a day, +When, for their wealth, he did devise + To make them both away. + +He bargain'd with two ruffians bold, + Who were of savage mood, +That they should take the children twain, + And slay them in a wood. + +They prate and prattle pleasantly + While riding on the way, +To those their wicked uncle hired, + These lovely babes to slay: + +[Illustration: Babes and Ruffians on horse-back.] + +So that the pretty speech they had, + Made the ruffians' heart relent; +And they that took the deed to do, + Full sorely did repent. + +Yet one of them, more hard of heart, + Did vow to do his charge, +Because the wretch that hired him + Had paid him very large. + +The other would not agree thereto, + So here they fell at strife; +With one another they did fight, + About the children's life: + +And he that was of milder mood, + Did slay the other there, +Within an unfrequented wood; + The babes did quake for fear! + +[Illustration: Ruffian being killed.] + +He took the children by the hand, + While they for bread complain: +"Stay here," said he, "I'll bring ye bread, + When I do come again." + +These pretty babes, with hand in hand, + Went wandering up and down; +But never more they saw the man, + Approaching from the town: + +[Illustration: Babes wandering.] + +Thus wander'd these two pretty dears, + Till death did end their grief; +In one another's arms they died, + Poor babes, past all relief: + +No burial these innocents + Of any man receives, +But robin red-breast lovingly + Did cover them with leaves. + +[Illustration: Robin covering Babes with leaves.] + +The fellow that did take in hand + These children for to kill, +Was for a robbery judged to die, + As was God's blessed will: + +And did confess the very truth, + The which is here express'd; +Their uncle died while he for debt + Did long in prison rest. + +[Illustration: Uncle in prison.] + + + +LITTLE BO-PEEP. + + + "Little Bo-Peep she lost her sheep + And didn't know where to find them. + Let them alone, and they'll come home, + And bring their tails behind them!" + +[Illustration: Bo-peep searching.] + +So runs the Nursery Rhyme. Little Bo-Peep was a very nice little +girl. Her cheeks had a bloom on them like a lovely peach, and her +voice sounded like a sweet silver bell. + +But though Little Bo-Peep was as good as she was beautiful, she +sometimes met with misfortunes that made her very sad. Once, when she +lost her sheep, she was very doleful indeed. And this is how it +happened. + +One summer evening, when the sun was setting, Little Bo-Peep, who had +to rise very early in the morning, felt tired, and sat down on a bank +covered with daisies. Being very weary she soon fell fast asleep. Now +the Bell-wether of Bo-Peep's flock was a most stupid and stubborn +fellow. I dare say you know that all the sheep in a flock will follow +the Bell-wether, and that he always wears a bell round his neck. It +was a great pity, but the Bell-wether of Bo-Peep's flock was very +wild, and was much given to wander far away into the wood, where of +course the rest of the sheep would follow him. + +Finding Little Bo-Peep asleep, the tiresome fellow began by standing +on his hind legs and making a great bow to his shadow before him on +the grass. After this he whirled himself round like a top, shaking +his head all the time, and ringing his bell. + +[Illustration: Bo-Peep asleep; Bell-wether capering.] + +Very soon the rest of the flock began to dance and caper too. And +when they had wheeled round their leader for a time, they ran off +after him with a bound into the wood. Away they went, till they were +quite tired out; and then they came to a stand-still, staring at their +leader with very blank faces. But the Bell-wether looked foolish +enough now, and did nothing but shake his head slowly and ring his +bell, which seemed to say quite clearly, "You are lost, you are +lost!" + +When Little Bo-Peep awoke she found her sheep gone, and hardly +knowing what she did, she walked on and on, far into the wood. She +met some people with hoes and rakes in their hands, and asked them if +they had seen her sheep. But they only laughed at her, and said, No. +One man was very cross, and threatened to beat her. At last she came +to a stile, on which an old Raven was perched. He looked so wise that +Little Bo-Peep asked him whether he had seen a flock of sheep. But he +only cried "Caw, caw, caw;" so Bo-Peep ran on again across the +fields. + +[Illustration: Bo-peep and Raven.] + +She wandered on till night-fall, and being faint with hunger, was +very glad to see a light just before her. As she went on, she saw +that it shone from a cottage window. But when she came to the door, +it looked so dark and dismal that she was afraid to go in, and was +just going to run away, when a cross-looking old woman came out, and +dragged her into the cottage. She made her sit by the side of her +son, who was a very ugly youth with a great red face and red +hair. + +[Illustration: Bo-peep and ugly Youth.] + +The old woman told him that she had brought Bo-Peep to be his wife, +so Bo-Peep, who did not like him at all, ran away while they were +asleep. But she did not know where to go, and gave herself up for +lost, when she heard something cry, "tu-whit--tu-whoo," in the +tree above her. It was a great owl, which began flapping its wings +with joy. Bo-Peep was frightened at first, but as the owl seemed very +kind, she followed it. It took her to a cottage were there was plenty +to eat and drink, and then, to Bo-Peep's great surprise, it began to +speak, and told her this story:-- + +"Know, dear Maiden," said the owl, "that I am the daughter of a King, +and was a lovely Princess; but I was changed into an owl by the old +woman at the cottage, because I would not marry her ugly son. But I +have heard the fairies say that one day a lovely maiden, who would +come into this wood to find her lost sheep, should be the means of my +gaining my own form again. You are that pretty maid, and I will take +you to a spot where you will find your sheep, but without their +tails. The elves will play with them for this night, but in the +morning every sheep will have its tail again, except the stupid +Bell-wether. You must then wave his tail three times over my head, +and I shall resume my shape again." + +The owl flew off, and led Bo-Peep into the wood, and said, "Sleep, +maiden, I will watch." How long she was asleep she could not tell, +but the charmed spot was suddenly lighted up, and she saw the Queen +of the Fairies seated on a bank. The Queen said the sheep should be +punished for running away. She then saw all her sheep come trooping +into the place, and on every sheep there was an Elf, who held in his +hand a sheep's tail. + +[Illustration: Sheep and Elves.] + +After riding them about for some time, and having great fun with +them, the mad sport ceased, and each Elf restored the tail to his +sheep--all but the Bell-wether's, which their leader hid in a +tree. When Bo-Peep awoke, she saw the owl flapping its wings as if +to remind her of her promise; so she fetched the tail, and waved it +three times over its head, when up started the most charming Princess +that ever was seen. The princess gave Bo-Peep a beautiful cottage, +and her sheep never ran away from their kind mistress again. + +[Illustration: Bo-peep and Owl.] + + + +THE HISTORY OF FIVE LITTLE PIGS. + + +[Illustration: Little Pig going to market.] + +The Little Pig who Went to Market. + +There was once a family of Five Little Pigs, and Mrs. Pig, their +mother, loved them all very dearly. Some of these little pigs were +very good, and took a great deal of trouble to please her. The eldest +pig was so active and useful that he was called Mr. Pig. One day he +went to market with his cart full of vegetables, but Rusty, the +donkey, began to show his bad temper before he had gone very far on +the road. All the coaxing and whipping would not make him move. So +Mr. Pig took him out of the shafts, and being very strong, drew the +cart to market himself. When he got there, all the other pigs began +to laugh. But they did not laugh so loudly when Mr. Pig told them +all his struggles on the road. Mr. Pig lost no time in selling +his vegetables, and very soon after Rusty came trotting into the +market-place, and as he now seemed willing to take his place in the +cart, Mr. Pig started for home without delay. When he got there, he +told Mrs. Pig his story, and she called him her best and most worthy +son. + +[Illustration: Little Pig with mother.] + +The Little Pig who Stayed at Home. + +This little pig very much wanted to go with his brother, but as he +was so mischievous that he could not be trusted far away, his mother +made him stay at home, and told him to keep a good fire while she +went out to the miller's to buy some flour. But as soon as he was +alone, instead of learning his lessons, he began to tease the poor +cat. Then he got the bellows, and cut the leather with a knife, so as +to see where the wind came from: and when he could not find this out, +he began to cry. After this he broke all his brother's toys; he +forced the drum-stick through the drum, he tore off the tail from the +kite, and then pulled off the horse's head. And then he went to the +cupboard and ate the jam. When Mrs. Pig came home, she sat down by +the fire, and being very tired, she soon fell asleep. No sooner had +she done so, than this bad little pig got a long handkerchief and +tied her in her chair. But soon she awoke and found out all the +mischief that he had been doing. She saw at once the damage that he +had done to his brother's playthings. So she quickly brought out her +thickest and heaviest birch, and gave this naughty little pig such a +beating as he did not forget for a long time. + +[Illustration: Little Pig tying mother to chair.] + +[Illustration: Little Pig in Dunce cap.] + +The Little Pig who had Roast Beef. + +This little pig was a very good and careful fellow. He gave his +mother scarcely any trouble, and always took a pleasure in doing all +she bade him. Here you see him sitting down with clean hands and +face, to some nice roast beef, while his brother, the idle pig, who +is standing on a stool in the corner, with the dunce's cap on, has +none. He sat down and quietly learned his lesson, and asked his +mother to hear him repeat it. And this he did so well that Mrs. Pig +stroked him on the ears and forehead, and called him a good little +pig. After this he asked her to allow him to help her make tea. +He brought everything she wanted, and lifted off the kettle from +the fire, without spilling a drop either on his toes or the carpet. +By-and-bye he went out, after asking his mother's leave, to play with +his hoop. He had not gone far when he saw an old blind pig, who, with +his hat in his hand was crying at the loss of his dog; so he put his +hand in his pocket and found a halfpenny which he gave to the poor +old pig. It was for such thoughtful conduct as this that his mother +often gave this little pig roast beef. We now come to the little pig +who had none. + +[Illustration: Little Pig eating roast beef.] + +The Little Pig who had None. + +This was a most obstinate and wilful little pig. His mother had set +him to learn his lesson, but no sooner had she gone out into the +garden, than he tore his book into pieces. When his mother came back +he ran off into the streets to play with other idle little pigs like +himself. After this he quarrelled with one of the pigs and got a +sound thrashing. Being afraid to go home, he stayed out till it was +quite dark and caught a severe cold. So he was taken home and put to +bed, and had to take a lot of nasty physic. + +[Illustration: Little Pig running home.] + +The Little Pig who Cried "Wee, wee," all the Way Home. + +This little pig went fishing. Now he had been told not to go into +Farmer Grumpey's grounds, who did not allow any one to fish in his +part of the river. But in spite of what he had been told, this +foolish little pig went there. He soon caught a very large fish, and +while he was trying to carry it home, Farmer Grumpey came running +along with his great whip. He quickly dropped the fish, but the +farmer caught him, and as he laid his whip over his back for some +time, the little pig ran off, crying, "Wee, wee, wee," all the way +home. + + + +THE HISTORY OF OLD MOTHER GOOSE AND HER SON JACK. + + +[Illustration: Mother Goose and family.] + +Old Mother Goose lived in a cottage with her son Jack. Jack was a +very good lad, and although he was not handsome, he was good-tempered +and industrious, and this made him better-looking than half the other +boys. Old Mother Goose carried a long stick, she wore a high-crowned +hat, and high-heeled shoes, and her kerchief was as white as snow. +Then there was the Gander that swam in the pond, and the Owl that sat +on the wall. So you see they formed a very happy family. But what a +fine strong fellow the Gander was! Whenever Old Mother Goose wanted +to take a journey, she would mount upon his broad strong back, and +away he would fly and carry her swiftly to any distance. + +[Illustration: Mother Goose and Gander flying.] + +Now Old Mother Goose thought her Gander often looked sad and lonely; +so one day she sent Jack to market to buy the finest Goose he could +find. It was early in the morning when he started, and his way lay +through a wood. He was not afraid of robbers; so on he went, with his +Mother's great clothes-prop over his shoulder. The fresh morning air +caused Jack's spirits to rise. He left the road, and plunged into the +thick of the wood, where he amused himself by leaping with his +clothes-prop till he found he had lost himself. After he had made +many attempts to find the path again, he heard a scream. He jumped up +and ran boldly towards the spot from which the sound came. Through an +opening in the trees he saw a young lady trying to get away from a +ruffian who wanted to steal her mantle. With one heavy blow of his +staff Jack sent the thief howling away, and then went back to the +young lady, who was lying on the ground, crying. + +[Illustration: Jack and young lady.] + +She soon dried her tears when she found that the robber had made off, +and thanked Jack for his help. The young lady told Jack that she was +the daughter of the Squire, who lived in the great white house on the +hill-top. She knew the path out of the wood quite well, and when they +reached the border, she said that Jack must come soon to her father's +house, so that he might thank him for his noble conduct. + +When Jack was left alone, he made the best of his way to the +market-place. He found little trouble in picking out the best Goose, +for when he got there he was very late, and there was but one left. +But as it was a prime one, Jack bought it at once, and keeping to the +road, made straight for home. At first the Goose objected to be +carried; and then, when she had walked along slowly and gravely for a +short time, she tried to fly away; so Jack seized her in his arms and +kept her there till he reached home. + +[Illustration: Jack carrying Goose.] + +Old Mother Goose was greatly pleased when she saw what a fine bird +Jack had bought; and the Gander showed more joy than I can describe. +And then they all lived very happily for a long time. But Jack would +often leave off work to dream of the lovely young lady whom he had +rescued in the forest, and soon began to sigh all day long. He +neglected the garden, cared no more for the Gander, and scarcely even +noticed the beautiful Goose. But one morning, as he was walking by +the pond, he saw both the Goose and the Gander making a great noise, +as though they were in the utmost glee. He went up to them and was +surprised to find on the bank a large golden egg. He ran with it to +his mother, who said, "Go to market, my son; sell your egg, and you +will soon be rich enough to pay a visit to the Squire." So to market +Jack went, and sold his golden egg; but the rogue who bought it of +him cheated him out of half his due. Then he dressed himself in his +finest clothes, and went up to the Squire's house. Two footmen stood +at the door, one looking very stout and saucy, and the other sleepy +and stupid. + +[Illustration: Jack and Footmen.] + +When Jack asked to see the Squire, they laughed at him, and made +sport of his fine clothes; but Jack had wit enough to offer them each +a guinea, when they at once showed him to the Squire's room. + +Now the Squire, who was very rich, was also very proud and fat, and +scarcely turned his head to notice Jack; but when he showed him his +bag of gold, and asked for his daughter to be his bride, the Squire +flew into a rage, and ordered his servants to throw him into the +horse-pond. But this was not so easy to do, for Jack was strong and +active; and then the young lady come out and begged her father to +release him. This made Jack more deeply in love with her than ever, +and he went home determined to win her in spite of all. And well did +his wonderful Goose aid him in his design. Almost every morning she +would lay him a golden egg, and Jack, grown wiser, would no longer +sell them at half their value to the rogue who had before cheated +him. So Jack soon grew to be a richer man than the Squire himself. +His wealth became known to all the country round, and the Squire at +length consented to accept Jack as his son-in-law. Then Old Mother +Goose flew away into the woods on the back of her strong Gander, +leaving the cottage and the Goose to Jack and his bride, who lived +happily ever afterwards. + +[Illustration: Jack and Squire.] + + + + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's My First Picture Book, by Joseph Martin Kronheim + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK MY FIRST PICTURE BOOK *** + +***** This file should be named 18937.txt or 18937.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/1/8/9/3/18937/ + +Produced by Andrew Sly + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
