+ To our race he has proved a deadly foe, + So beware of his treachery. + + "Build houses, ere long, of stone or of bricks, + And get tiles for your roofs, I pray; + For I know, of old, Mr. Reynard's tricks, + And I fear he may come any day." + + Thus saying, she died, and her daughters fair,-- + Gobble, Goosey, and Ganderee,-- + Agreed together, that they would beware + Of Mr. Fox, their enemy. + + But Gobble, the youngest, I grieve to say, + Soon came to a very bad end, + Because she preferred her own silly way, + And would not to her mother attend. + + For she made, with some boards, an open nest, + For a roof took the lid of a box; + Then quietly laid herself down to rest, + And thought she was safe from the Fox. + + But Reynard, in taking an evening run, + Soon scented the goose near the pond; + Thought he, "Now I'll have some supper and fun, + For of both I am really fond." + +[Illustration] + + Then on to the box he sprang in a trice, + And roused Mrs. Gobble from bed; + She only had time to hiss once or twice, + Ere he snapped off her lily-white head. + + Her sisters at home felt anxious and low + When poor Gobble did not appear, + And Goosey, determined her fate to know, + Went and sought all the field far and near. + + At last she descried poor Gobble's head, + And some feathers, not far apart; + So she told Ganderee she had found her dead, + And they both felt quite sad at heart. + + Now Goosey was pretty, but liked her own way, + Like Gobble, and some other birds. + "'Tis no matter," said she, "if I only obey + A part of my mother's last words." + +[Illustration] + + So her house she soon built of nice red brick, + But she only thatched it with straw; + And she thought that, however the Fox might kick, + He could not get in e'en a paw. + + So she went to sleep, and at dead of night + She heard at the door a low scratch; + And presently Reynard, with all his might, + Attempted to jump on the thatch. + + But he tumbled back, and against the wall + Grazed his nose in a fearful way; + Then, almost mad with the pain of his fall, + He barked, and ran slowly away. + + So Goosey laughed, and felt quite o'erjoyed + To have thus escaped from all harm; + But had she known how the Fox was employed, + She would have felt dreadful alarm; + + For Gobble had been his last dainty meat,-- + So hungry he really did feel,-- + And resolved in his mind to accomplish this feat, + And have the young goose for a meal. + + So he slyly lighted a bundle of straws, + And made no more noise than a mouse, + Then lifted himself up on his hind paws, + And quickly set fire to the house. + + 'T was soon in a blaze, and Goosey awoke, + With fright almost ready to die, + And, nearly smothered with heat and with smoke, + Up the chimney was forced to fly. + + The Fox was rejoiced to witness her flight, + And, heedless of all her sad groans, + He chased her until he saw her alight, + Then eat her up all but her bones. + + Poor Ganderee's heart was ready to break + When the sad news reached her ear. + "'T was that villain the Fox," said good Mr. Drake, + Who lived in a pond very near. + + "Now listen to me, I pray you," he said, + "And roof your new house with some tiles, + Or you, like your sisters, will soon be dead,-- + A prey to your enemy's wiles." + + So she took the advice of her mother and friend, + And made her house very secure. + Then she said,--"Now, whatever may be my end, + The Fox cannot catch me, I'm sure." + + He called at her door the very next day, + And loudly and long did he knock; + But she said to him,--"Leave my house, I pray, + For the door I will not unlock; + +[Illustration] + + "For you've killed my sisters, I know full well, + And you wish that I too were dead." + "O dear!" said the Fox, "I can't really tell + Who put such a thought in your head: + + "For I've always liked geese more than other birds, + And you of your race I've loved best." + But the Goose ne'er heeded his flattering words, + So hungry he went to his rest. + + Next week she beheld him again appear; + "Let me in very quick," he cried, + "For the news I've to tell you'll be charmed to hear, + And 'tis rude to keep me outside." + + But the Goose only opened one window-pane, + And popped out her pretty red bill; + Said she, "Your fair words are all in vain, + But talk to me here, if you will." + + "To-morrow," he cried, "there will be a fair, + All the birds and the beasts will go; + So allow me, I pray, to escort you there, + For you will be quite charmed, I know." + + "Many thanks for your news," said Ganderee, + "But I had rather not go with you; + I care not for any gay sight to see,"-- + So the window she closed, and withdrew. + + In the morning, howe'er, her mind she changed, + And she thought she would go to the fair; + So her numerous feathers she nicely arranged, + And cleaned her red bill with much care. + + She went, I believe, before it was light, + For of Reynard she felt much fear; + So quickly she thought she would see each sight, + And return ere he should appear. + + When the Goose arrived she began to laugh + At the wondrous creatures she saw; + There were dancing bears, and a tall giraffe, + And a beautiful red macaw. + + A monkey was weighing out apples and roots; + An ostrich, too, sold by retail; + There were bees and butterflies tasting the fruits, + And a pig drinking out of a pail. + + Ganderee went into an elephant's shop, + And quickly she bought a new churn; + For, as it grew late, she feared to stop, + As in safety she wished to return. + + Ere, however, she got about half the way, + She saw approaching her foe; + And now she hissed with fear and dismay, + For she knew not which way to go. + +[Illustration] + + But at last of a capital plan she bethought, + Of a place where she safely might hide; + She got into the churn that she just had bought, + And then fastened the lid inside. + + The churn was placed on the brow of a hill, + And with Ganderee's weight down it rolled, + Passing the Fox, who stood perfectly still, + Quite alarmed, though he was very bold. + + For the Goose's wings flapped strangely about, + And the noise was fearful to hear; + And so bruised she felt she was glad to get out, + When she thought that the coast was clear. + + So safely she reached her own home at noon, + And the Fox ne'er saw her that day + But after the fair he came very soon, + And cried out, in a terrible way,-- + +[Illustration] + + "Quick, quick, let me in! oh, for once be kind, + For the huntsman's horn I hear; + O, hide me in any snug place you can find, + For the hunters and hounds draw near!" + + So the Goose looked out, in order to see + Whether Reynard was only in jest; + Then, knowing that he in her power would be, + She opened the door to her guest. + + "I'll hide you," she said, "in my nice new churn." + "That will do very well," said he; + "And thank you for doing me this good turn, + Most friendly and kind Ganderee." + + Then into the churn the Fox quickly got; + But, ere the Goose put on the top, + A kettle she brought of water quite hot, + And poured in every drop. + +[Illustration] + + Then the Fox cried out, "O! I burn, I burn! + And I feel in a pitiful plight;" + But the Goose held fast the lid of the churn, + So Reynard he died that night. + + * * * * * + + +MORAL. + + + Mankind have an enemy whom they well know, + Who tempts them in every way; + But they, too, at length shall o'ercome this foe, + If wisdom's right law they obey. + + + + +THE WONDERFUL HISTORY OF HENNY-PENNY. + + +One fine summer morning a Hen was picking peas in a farm-yard, under +a pea-stack, when a pea fell on her head with such a thump that she +thought a cloud had fallen. And she thought she would go to the court +and tell the king that the clouds were falling: so she gaed, and she +gaed, and she gaed, and she met a Cock, and the Cock said,-- + +"Where are you going to-day, Henny-penny?" + +And she said,-- + +"Oh, Cocky-locky, the clouds are falling, and I am going to tell the +king." + +And Cocky-locky said,-- + +"I will go with you, Henny-penny." + +So Cocky-locky and Henny-penny they gaed, and they gaed, and they gaed, +till they met a Duck. So the Duck said,-- + +"Where are you going to-day, Cocky-locky and Henny-penny?" + +And they said,-- + +"Oh, Ducky-daddles, the clouds are falling, and we are going to tell +the king." + +And Ducky-daddles said,-- + +"I will go with you, Cocky-locky and Henny-penny." + +So Ducky-daddles, and Cocky-locky, and Henny-penny, they gaed, and they +gaed, and they gaed, till they met a Goose. So the Goose said,-- + +"Where are you going to-day, Ducky-daddles, Cocky-locky and +Henny-penny?" + +And they said,-- + +"Oh, Goosie-poosie, the clouds are falling, and we are going to tell +the king." + +And Goosie-poosie said,-- + +"I will go with you, Ducky-daddles, Cocky-locky, and Henny-penny." + +So Goosie-poosie, and Ducky-daddles, and Cocky-locky, and Henny-penny, +they gaed, and they gaed, and they gaed, till they met a Turkey. So the +Turkey said,-- + +"Where are you going to-day, Goosie-poosie, Ducky-daddles, Cocky-locky, +and Henny-penny?" + +And they said,-- + +"Oh, Turkey-lurky, the clouds are falling, and we are going to tell +the king." + +And Turkey-lurky said,-- + +"I will go with you, Goosie-poosie, Ducky-daddles, Cocky-locky, and +Henny-penny." + +So Turkey-lurky, and Goosie-poosie, and Ducky-daddles, and Cocky-locky, +and Henny-penny, they gaed, and they gaed, and they gaed, till they met +a Fox. So the Fox said,-- + +[Illustration] + +"Where are you going to-day, Turkey-lurky, Goosie-poosie, Ducky-daddles, +Cocky-locky, and Henny-penny?" + +And they said,-- + +"Oh, Mr. Fox, the clouds are falling, and we are going to tell +the king." + +And the Fox said,-- + +"Come with me, Turkey-lurky, Goosie-poosie, Ducky-daddles, Cocky-locky, +and Henny-penny, and I will show you the road to the king's house." + +So they all gaed, and they gaed, and they gaed, till they came to the +Fox's hole; and the Fox took them all into his hole, and he and his +young cubs eat up first poor Henny-penny, then poor Cocky-locky, then +poor Ducky-daddles, then poor Goosie-poosie, and then poor Turkey-lurky; +and so they never got to the king to tell him that the clouds had fallen +on the head of poor Henny-penny. + + + + + * * * * * + + + + +BOOKS +PUBLISHED BY +FRANCIS BLAKE, +(LATE "BLAKE & CARTER.") +No. 58 EXCHANGE STREET, PORTLAND, ME. + + + Town's First Reader, + Town's Second Reader, + Town's Third Reader, + Town's Grammar School Reader, + Town's Fourth Reader, + Town's Speller and Definer, + Town's Analysis, + Weld's Old Grammar, + Weld's New Grammar, + Weld's Parsing Books, + Weld's Latin Lessons, + Smyth's Elementary Algebra, + Smyth's Elements of Algebra, + Key to each of Smyth's Algebras, + Smyth's Trigonometry & Survey'g, + Smyth's Calculus, + Maine Justice of the Peace, + Maine Townsman, + Caldwell's Elocution, + School Testaments, 18mo. + School Testaments, 32mo. + Mechanic's Own Book. + +And many other School and Miscellaneous Books. + + * * * * * + +ALSO + + THE FOX AND THE GEESE, 9 Illustrations, price 8 cts. + THE STORY OF THE THREE BEARS, 6 Illustrations, price 6 cts. + THE CAT AND THE MOUSE, 6 Illustrations, price 6 cts. + +The above in colored engravings at double price. + +F.

Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: +https://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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. + +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. + |
