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 http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +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. 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. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://www.gutenberg.org/about/contact + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. 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 http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf + +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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is 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: + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +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. + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a> + + (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: + +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL</a> + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** +</pre> +</body> +</html> diff

+ She's caught her skirt upon a nail + And torn it terribly. + + If Jane had learned from grandmamma + She might have mended it, + But she had been a thoughtless child + And could not sew a bit. + +[Illustration] + + So with her frock all torn, into + The room she had to go, + And all the children wondering stared + To see her looking so; + + Then when Jane played it caught her feet + And almost made her fall; + That shamed her so she ran away + And tried to hide from all. + +[Illustration] + + When nurse at last was sent for her, + How glad was little Jane; + She almost thought she never wished + To romp or play again. + + "Oh! grandmamma, dear grandmamma, + Indeed, indeed," said she, + "If now you'll teach me how to sew + A thankful child I'll be." + + + + +BOISTEROUS ANN + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + A noisy boisterous child was Ann, + And very far from good; + She did not play the pleasant games + That little children should; + With rumpled hair and dresses torn + She came home every day; + In vain mamma said, "Ann, pray learn + To be less rude at play." + +[Illustration] + + Now little Ann came home one time + In a most piteous plight, + For she had fallen in the mud; + Indeed she was a sight. + The housemaid standing in the door + Exclaimed, "What child is this?" + "Why, Hannah, can't you see I'm Ann?" + Cried out the little miss. + +[Illustration] + + "Our little Ann in rags and dirt, + Her hair all out of curl; + No, no," cried Hannah; "run away, + You little beggar girl. + If it is scraps of bread you want + Go to the kitchen door; + I can't believe you're any child + I ever saw before." + +[Illustration] + + Now Ann has to the kitchen run + With tears and streaming eyes; + "Oh, dear cook, please to let me in: + I'm little Ann," she cries. + "What little Ann?" the good cook says; + "Indeed that cannot be. + Our Ann would never wear such rags + I'm very sure; not she!" + +[Illustration] + + But as Ann, weeping, turned away, + Her little dog ran out, + And he began to lick her hands, + And bark and jump about. + "Why, why," cried cook, "I never saw + Dog Towzer act that way, + Except when little Ann came home + From school or after play." + +[Illustration] + + "And now I look again," she said, + "You are our little Ann. + Come in and wash and mend your frock, + As quickly as you can." + Now from that day the little miss + Has played less boisterous plays, + And been more tidy in her dress + And quiet in her ways. + + + + +THE BROTHER AND SISTER + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + Their mother bids them run and play, + But not to wander far away. + +[Illustration] + + "Quick," Gretel cries, "let's catch that hare + Among the bushes over there." + +[Illustration] + + The hare now leads them in the chase + Close by the witch's lurking-place. + +[Illustration] + + "No use," she cries "to kick and fight, + For I will pick your bones to-night." + +[Illustration] + + The old witch then puts on the pot, + That she may boil Hans when it's hot. + +[Illustration] + + But while she whets her knife outside + Gretel opens the cage door wide. + +[Illustration] + + The children see a barrel near; + "Quick! into it! The witch is here!" + +[Illustration] + + In after them the witch goes too, + But she is stuck, and can't get through. + +[Illustration] + + And now, ker-splash! down in the ditch + They roll the barrel and the witch. + +[Illustration] + + And see! her little girl and boy + The mother welcomes home with joy. + + + + +GEORGIE LIE-A-BED + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + "Come, come, get up," cried nurse to George; + "The breakfast table's spread; + The porridge will be getting cold, + And you are still in bed." + George only sighed and turned about, + And went to sleep once more. + Now did you ever know of such + A lazy child before? + +[Illustration] + + When little George at last arose + The sun was overhead; + He looked about, no clothes he saw; + "Where can they be?" he said. + "Nurse, nurse," he cried, "where are my clothes? + I do not see them here." + "Why, no," said nurse, "you will not find + Your clothes to-day, I fear; + +[Illustration] + + Some other child has now your suit, + Because I thought, indeed, + If you were going to lie in bed, + Your clothes you would not need. + But if you really wish to dress + And go to school, see there, + The little dress a year ago + Your sister used to wear." + +[Illustration] + + Now how ashamed is little George + To have to dress like that; + To have to wear his sister's frock, + Her ribbons and her hat. + Now in the street the children point + And stare as he goes by; + "Come look at Georgie-Lie-a-Bed, + How he is dressed," they cry. + +[Illustration] + + Now little George is so ashamed + To have them see him so, + He turns about and home he runs + As fast as he can go. + "Oh, mother dear," he cries, "if I + May have my clothes once more, + I'll try to be a better boy + Than I have been before." + +[Illustration] + + "Why," says mamma, "since that's the case, + And you repent, my dear, + Your little trousers, shirt, and coat-- + Just see--they all are here." + And since that day mamma and nurse + Are proud and glad to see + Their little George can such a prompt + And early riser be. + + + + +[Illustration: Untidy Amanda] + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + A naughty child Amanda was;-- + She would not comb her hair; + Though it was rough and tangled, too, + Amanda did not care; + And when mamma the matted locks + Would fain have brushed and tied, + Amanda only pushed away + Her hand and stamped and cried. + +[Illustration] + + But listen now! It chanced one time + Mamma had gone away. + Amanda she had left at home + All by herself that day. + Then someone rattled at the latch;-- + Amanda heard him there;-- + She heard him shutting fast the door + And creeping up the stair;-- + +[Illustration] + + Someone with scissors in his hand, + And dreadful gleaming eyes; + "Where is that child who will not comb + The tangles out?" he cries. + In vain Amanda shrieks and runs, + He has her by the hair; + Snip-snap! the shining scissors go + And leave her head quite bare. + +[Illustration] + + Now when mamma comes home again, + Ah, what is her surprise + To see Amanda's naked head + And note her tearful eyes; + And now lest she a cold should catch + A nightcap she must wear, + And when her locks have grown again + I'm sure she'll comb her hair. + + + + +THE CHILD WHO WOULD NOT GO TO BED + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + "I do not want to go to bed; + I will not go!" cried naughty Fred. + But it was growing very late; + The clock had long ago struck eight, + And so mamma, impatient grown, + Went off and left him there alone. + But hark! Creak, creak! upon the stair; + It was the sand-man walking there. + +[Illustration] + + In through the door he looked, and said, + "What! Frederick will not go to bed?" + In vain did Frederick kick and bawl, + The sand-man would not heed at all; + He tumbled Fred into his sack, + And off he bore him on his back; + Away he went out through the door, + On, on for many a mile and more. + +[Illustration] + + At last the sand-man, weary grown, + Sat down to rest upon a stone. + Then Frederick turned himself about, + And quick he whipped his jack-knife out; + Ke--scritchy--scritch! He cuts a slit + And softly clambers out of it. + And now he runs as quick as thought, + And soon a heavy stone has brought; + +[Illustration] + + He softly slips it in the sack + That hangs upon the sand-man's back. + Says clever Fred, "He will not see + He has a stone instead of me." + And now the sand-man grunts and sighs, + And slowly he begins to rise. + +[Illustration] + + And Frederick hears him sigh, "Alack, + How that boy thumps about my back!" + The stupid sand-man never sees + Where Frederick crouches on his knees, + Behind the rock, till out of sight + The old sand-man has vanished quite. + +[Illustration] + + But Fred, a thankful boy is he, + As home he hastens tearfully. + And ah his mother! with what joy + She welcomes home her little boy. + "Ah always after this," cries Fred, + "I will be good, and go to bed." + + + + +THE BEET + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + "I will not wash my face I say; + I will not wash," cried Jane, "to-day." + In vain mamma said, "What disgrace! + To go with dirty hands and face." + Jane only sulked and hung her head, + And so she crept away to bed. + +[Illustration] + + Now when the pleasant morning broke + In bed the slovenly Jane awoke; + She woke but could not turn in bed, + Nor stretch herself, nor raise her head; + She was a beet with nose and eyes, + A beet of most enormous size. + +[Illustration] + + And in the bed the beet leaves green + Instead of arms and legs were seen; + And then in came mamma and nurse; + They did not know her, which was worse, + But Jane could hear mamma; she said, + "Why, why! how came this beet in bed?" + +[Illustration] + + And now, by two stout boys, away + They send the beet to town next day, + That all the people there may see + How large a beet can grow to be. + They put her in a window there, + Where every one can point and stare. + +[Illustration] + + There the poor sloven sits and cries, + Till beet juice oozes from her eyes; + But ah! was such sight ever seen? + The beet juice tears have washed her clean; + And then, the strangest thing of all, + As fast and faster still they fall. + +[Illustration] + + The beet tears melt her back once more + Into the child she was before. + She does not stay to wipe her eyes, + But home with eager feet she hies. + "Oh mother, mother dear," cries she, + "Henceforth a cleaner child I'll be." + + + + +THE ROBBER RAT + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + A kitten once lived all alone + In a little yellow house; + It lived on crusts of bread and cheese, + And now and then a mouse. + +[Illustration] + + A robber rat lived in a wood-- + A gloomy wood--close by; + He had sharp teeth, and a pointed tail. + And a wicked, restless eye. + +[Illustration] + + To the yellow house the rat would come, + And strike the door--knock! knock! + The kitten's tail would stand on end, + It gave him such a shock. + + Then in the rat would boldly march. + "What have you here?" he'd say; + And then he would steal the bread and cheese, + And carry it all away. + +[Illustration] + + At last the kitten went to ask + Advice of some old cat + Who lived close by, and told her all + About the robber rat. + + The wise old grey cat scratched her ear; + "I'll fix this rat," she said; + So she pulled a night-cap over her ears + And lay in the kitten's bed. + +[Illustration] + + And now in marched the robber rat; + "What!" cried he, "still in bed! + Quick, fetch me out what cheese you have, + And all your scraps of bread." + + "Spit-t-t!" with her claws and gleaming eyes + The cat sprang out of bed. + The robber gave one dreadful squeak, + And then away he fled. + +[Illustration] + + The old cat caught him by the tail + Just as he reached the door, + But snap! it broke, and out he ran, + And ne'er was heard of more. + + But for the little kitten, + He danced about with glee; + "The wicked rat has fled, has fled; + Meow, meow!" sang he. + + + + +GRANDFATHER STORK + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + A very naughty boy was John; + He quarreled with his food, + And would not eat his bread and milk, + As all good children should. + It grieved his kind mamma to see + How thin and thinner grew + Her little John, in spite of all + That she could say or do. + +[Illustration] + + Above the chimney Father Stork + Heard all that Johnny said, + And how each day he pushed away + The bowl of milk and bread. + And so it was, when kind mamma + Had left the house one day, + In through the kitchen door he came + And carried John away. + +[Illustration] + + Upon the roof the little storks + Live high up in the sky, + And far below them in the street + They hear the folks go by. + The old stork brings them, in his beak, + The eels and frogs for food; + But these he will not let them have + Unless they're very good. + +[Illustration] + + Such things poor Johnny could not eat; + And as he sat and cried, + He thought of all the bread and milk + He used to push aside. + "If I were only home again, + I would be good," he said, + "And never, never turn away + From wholesome milk and bread." + +[Illustration] + + If little John was thin before, + Now thinner every day + He grew, until you'd think the wind + Would carry him away. + So, when at last he was so lean + His bones seemed poking through, + There came a sudden gust of wind, + And, puff! away he blew. + +[Illustration] + + And when it blew him to the street, + How fast he hurried home! + And, oh, how glad his mother was + To see her Johnny come! + But gladder still she was to find + That he had grown so good, + And never now would turn away + From wholesome simple food. + + + + +OLD MOTHER WEBTOES + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + "Oh please mamma," said little Jane, + "May I go out to play?" + "No, no," her mother answered her; + "I fear 'twill rain to-day." + +[Illustration] + + "With my umbrella green," said Jane, + "I will not mind the wet." + But still mamma replied, "No, no; + A cold I fear you'd get." + +[Illustration] + + But oh, Jane was a naughty girl! + On her own way intent; + Soon as mamma had turned away, + Out in the street she went. + The streets were wet and lonely; + No children there at play; + Only old Mother Webtoes + The frog abroad that day. + +[Illustration] + + Now little Jane she seizes, + In spite of all her cries, + And green umbrella, Jane and all, + Away with her she flies. + Far, far off in the river, + Upon a moisty stone, + Old Webtoes and her children + Live in a hut alone; + +[Illustration] + + And Jane's big green umbrella + Old Webtoes hides away; + She makes her sweep, she makes her scrub; + Jane has no time to play. + She spreads a bed of rushes, + Where Jane may sleep at night, + And wakes her in the morning + As soon as it is light. + +[Illustration] + + "Get up," cries Mother Webtoes; + "The breakfast you must get." + "Oh let me stay in bed," says Jane; + "The floor is cold and wet." + But Mother Webtoes stamps her foot, + And makes the child arise; + But as Jane sobs, behind the door, + Ah, what is this she spies? + +[Illustration] + + It is her green umbrella; + She sets it now afloat, + And down the river in it sails, + As if it were a boat. + "Oh Mother Webtoes, only look," + She hears the young frogs scream; + "The little girl you brought to us + Is sailing down the stream." + +[Illustration] + + But Jane is quite too far away + For them to catch her then, + And when at last she drifts ashore + She sees her home again. + She rushes to her mother's arms + With sobs and streaming eyes-- + "Oh mother, mother dear, forgive + Your naughty Jane," she cries. + + + + +THE RABBIT WITCH + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + Eliza Ann was far from good; + She did not act as children should, + But fought and quarreled so at play + The boys and girls all ran away. + +[Illustration] + + Her mother said, "Take care, my dear, + The rabbit witch will come, I fear, + And steal you one of these fine days, + Unless you learn to mend your ways." + +[Illustration] + + But yet Eliza did not heed; + She was a naughty girl indeed. + So now the rabbit witch has come, + And carries her away from home. + +[Illustration] + + Down in the marshes far away + The rabbit's children squeak and play; + They tease Eliza till she cries, + And with her apron hides her eyes. + +[Illustration] + + When market day comes round again + The witch locks up her house and then + She says, "Be careful while you play;-- + Don't lose this child when I'm away." + Now she has gone Eliza takes + Her apron and a doll she makes. + +[Illustration] + + "Just see this apron-girl," she cries;-- + "Look at it's nose and button eyes." + And now her frock with belt and fold + Into another doll is rolled; + She gives it to the rabbit boy, + Who squeaks and stamps his foot with joy. + +[Illustration] + + "Now," cry the rabbits, "we will play, + For these girls cannot run away." + But while they rock their dolls and sing + The witch brings home her marketing. + "Where are you children dear," she cries. + The little rabbit boy replies;-- + +[Illustration] + + "Here with two girls we play, but one + Far off, across the fields has run." + The rabbit witch went hurrying out + To see what they could be about. + There no Eliza could she find + But only clothes she'd left behind. + +[Illustration] + + Quick after her the old witch ran;-- + Haste, haste, make haste, Eliza Ann! + Her own dear home was reached at last; + The door was shut, the latch made fast. + +[Illustration] + + But young Eliza had been taught + A lesson as her mother thought: + Henceforth she was so sweet and mild + All loved to be with such a child. + + + + +PETER AND THE OGRESS + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + + + These small boys started off for school + But loitered by the way, + Until at last 'twas quite too late + To go to school that day. + Ah naughty, naughty, truant boys! + But listen what befell! + Close by a wicked ogress lived, + Down in a lonesome dell. + +[Illustration] + + Now see her coming down the hill! + Now see the children run! + Her arms are long, her hands are strong, + She catches every one. + In vain the children kick and scream, + The ogress takes them home + And locks the door; then off she goes + To bid the neighbors come. + +[Illustration] + + But clever Peter sees above + The chimney, black and wide; + "Quick, wipe your eyes and come," he cries; + "I've found a place to hide." + And none too soon, for scarce the last + Is out of sight before + They hear the wicked ogress + Come stumping in the door. + +[Illustration] + + Then from the chimney Peter bawls, + "We're hiding, stupid face!" + "Oh, oh!" the ogress says, "I know; + You're up the chimney place." + So up the chimney now she looks; + "I'll fetch you out," she cries; + But puff! the clever Peter blows + The soot down in her eyes. + +[Illustration] + + All filled with black out through the door + She hurries, howling still, + Just when the other ogresses + Are coming up the hill. + They stop, they stare, they quake with fear, + They stand appalled to see + This dreadful, hopping, howling thing + As black as black can be. + +[Illustration] + + And now pell-mell away they run; + But down the chimney place + The boys climb ere the ogress + Can clean her sooty face; + And when they're safely home again + They keep the master's rule, + And never, never play again + At truant from the school. + + + + * * * * * + + + +Transcriber's Note + + The word "nightcap" is spelled with and without a hyphen in the + text.
