And he said, “Oh, dear, I wish I had a -nice _big_ piece of watermelon to eat!” - -[Illustration] - -And then a naughty little Blackie, who was sitting on Watermelon Pete’s -bedpost, just _hoping_ that he would want to get out of bed and get -into mischief, said, “I know where there are some watermelons. Farmer -Brown has some down in his watermelon patch.” - -And Watermelon Pete _listened_ to what the naughty little Blackie -said, and then he _crawled_ out of bed, and ran, oh, so fast, down -to the fence, and _scrooged_ through a hole in the fence, and -ran--pitter-patter, with his little bare black feet--down the path to -the watermelon vines. - -Then he ate, and he ate, and he _ate_, so many watermelons! And by and -by he went to sleep under a watermelon vine. And Mr. Moon went to bed. - -Then pretty soon old Mr. Rooster woke up and said, -“Cock-a-doodle-doo-oo! Farmer Brown, I’m calling you-oo-o! It’s time to -get up!” - -So Farmer Brown got up and dressed himself, and went out of doors. -And then Farmer Brown said, “Well, I guess I’ll go and see my -watermelons.” And when he got there he said, “Why!” just like that. -“Why, where are all my lovely watermelons?” - -[Illustration] - -Then little Mrs. Hoppy Toad came out from under a burdock leaf where -she lived, and said in her funny little way-up-high voice, “Farmer -Brown, I know who ate your watermelons!” - -“Do you, Mrs. Hoppy Toad?” said Farmer Brown. “And will you tell me who -it is?” - -“Oh, yes, Farmer Brown,” said little Mrs. Hoppy Toad, in her little -way-up-high voice. “Watermelon Pete ate your watermelons, and he is -asleep under your vines.” - -[Illustration] - -And then Watermelon Pete woke, and he was so _frightened_, because he -had been naughty, that he ran pitter-patter, pitter-patter, up the -path, and _what do you think_? - -He was so full of watermelon that he could _not_ get back through the -hole in the fence, and Farmer Brown caught him! And the naughty Blackie -just sat on a fence post and _laughed_ because he had made Watermelon -Pete get into mischief! - -[Illustration] - -And Watermelon Pete said, “Please, Farmer Brown, please don’t punish -me, and I will _never_ eat your watermelons _any more_!” - -And Farmer Brown said, “All right, Watermelon Pete, I will let you off -this time. But you must never listen to that naughty Blackie again. Now -go and get the cow and milk her, and then come to breakfast.” - -And Mrs. Farmer Brown gave Watermelon Pete a whole plate full of -brown cakes for his breakfast, with crinkly cronkly sirup on them. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -But the naughty Blackie couldn’t have any. - -[Illustration] - - - - -PIGGY’S THISTLE WHISTLE - - - A funny little Piggy to the market went, - To buy himself a whistle with a bright new cent. - - But the shop man said, “I have no penny whistle,” - So Piggy made himself one from a prickly thistle. - - Piggy said, “This thistle whistle’s quite as good as any; - I’ll buy an apple pie with my bright new penny.” - - When he bought his apple pie, said the baker, “Here’s another,” - And Piggy took them home to his dear old mother. - -[Illustration] - - And his father and his mother, and his little sister Wee, - Were very, _very_ happy with apple pie for tea. - - After supper all the Piggies came in from ’cross the way, - To see Piggy’s thistle whistle, and ask him if he’d play. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - - Piggy whistled gayly a good old-fashioned dance, - And every little Piggy began to sing and prance. - - And oh, such fancy dancing, until Mother Piggy said, - “The Piggy sandman’s coming.” So they all went home to bed. - -[Illustration] - - - - -LADY BUG GOES SHOPPING - - - Mosquito was strolling one day through the town, - Enjoying the balmy spring air, - When whom should he meet, with her two little babes, - But dear little Lady Bug fair. - - “Lady Bug, Lady Bug, what do you seek - In the streets of the busy town?” - “Sir, I’ve been to the spiders to buy me a web, - For my polka-dotted gown.” - - “Lady Bug, Lady Bug, fly away home,” - Said old Mr. Grasshopper Gray, - “The town crier fears that your children will burn; - Your house is on fire, they say.” - - “Your story is old, Mr. Grasshopper Gray,” - The Lady Bug said, “for you see - My cottage is standing, my children are safe, - For I took them shopping with me.” - -[Illustration] - - - - -LITTLE BABY ELEPHANT AND HIS NEW CLOTHES - - -Once there was a Daddy and a Mammy Elephant, and they had a little Baby -Elephant. - -When Daddy Elephant came home one day he found his dear little Baby -Elephant crying great big tears! - -And Daddy Elephant kissed him, and said, “Why, what’s the matter with -my little Baby Elephant?” - -[Illustration] - -And Baby Elephant said, “Why, Daddy, I’ve worn my stockings all out, -and I haven’t any more to put on.” - -“Is _that_ all?” said Daddy Elephant. “Well, come along, and we will go -and see if we can find some stockings for you.” - -So they went a _long_ way, through the Jungle, until they came to Mrs. -Lion’s store, and they went in. - -“Good morning, Mrs. Lion,” said Daddy Elephant, very politely. “Have -you some stockings that you will sell me for my little Baby Elephant?” - -[Illustration] - -“Well, now, Daddy Elephant,” said Mrs. Lion, “I don’t believe I have -any that would fit him; they are all so small. But if you’ll take a -seat, I will ask my little Lions to make him some.” - -So she called four of her little Lions, and asked them if they would -make some stockings for Baby Elephant. They said they would be pleased -to do it, and so they got some balls of wool and began knitting so -busily with their shiny knitting needles, click, click! click, click! -that pretty soon there they were, four nice long new stockings, one for -each foot. - -[Illustration] - -Then Daddy Elephant paid for the stockings and put them on Baby -Elephant. And Baby Elephant said, “These are perfectly lovely new -stockings, Daddy, but now, do you know, I believe I ought to have some -new shoes, so I won’t spoil my nice new stockings.” - -And Daddy Elephant said, “Why, what a funny little Baby Elephant you -are! Just as soon as you get one thing you think of something else. -But come along, and we will see if we can find you some shoes.” - -[Illustration] - -So they went a long, _long_ way through the Jungle, until they came to -Mrs. Tiger’s store. - -“Good morning, Mrs. Tiger,” said Daddy Elephant, very politely indeed. -“Have you some shoes that you could sell me for my little Baby -Elephant?” - -“Why, no, Daddy Elephant,” said Mrs. Tiger, “I haven’t any big enough -for him. But if you will take a seat and wait, I will call my Tiger -shoemakers, and have some made for him.” - -[Illustration] - -So they waited patiently while the Tiger shoemakers made some shoes. -“Tip-a-tap, tip-a-tap, tip-a-tap-too!” went the hammers, until pretty -soon there they were, four nice new red shoes with one for each foot. - -Then Daddy paid Mrs. Tiger for them, and put them on and buttoned them -up, and Baby Elephant said, “My! These are lovely new shoes, Daddy, and -I thank you, but now I look so nice, shouldn’t I have a hat?” - -[Illustration] - -And Daddy Elephant laughed and said, “Well, you _are_ a funny little -Baby Elephant. But come along, and I will see if I can find a hat for -you.” - -So they walked and _walked_ a _long_ way through the Jungle, and after -a while they came to Mrs. Monkey’s millinery store. - -And Daddy Elephant said, oh, _very_ politely, “How do you do, Mrs. -Monkey? Have you your new spring hats in? My little Baby thinks he’d -like a hat.” - -[Illustration] - -And Mrs. Monkey said that she didn’t believe she had a hat that would -quite fit Baby Elephant, because they were very small this season, but -that she would make him one. So she sent her little Monkeys out into -the Jungle, and pretty soon they came back with some palm-tree leaves. -And she sewed them into the prettiest hat you ever saw. - -But Baby Elephant wanted trimming on his hat. So she found some ribbon -grass, and made some bows, and rosettes, and put them on and Daddy -Elephant paid her for it, and they started out again. - -[Illustration] - -Then Baby Elephant laughed. “Daddy, don’t I look funny with my -stockings and shoes and nice new hat, and no coat on?” - -And Daddy said, “Oh, you funny baby! Well, come along, and we’ll see -if we can find you a coat.” And they walked _and_ walked, and _nobody_ -could make a coat until they came to where the Tailor Bird lived. And -he said he could make a coat, “Just as _easy_!” - -[Illustration] - -So he took a big piece of cloth, and spread it on the ground, and laid -Baby Elephant down on it, and cut a coat just like him, but he got it a -good deal too big, and it has wrinkled ever since. - -But Baby Elephant liked it, and was very proud of his pretty new -things, and promised his Daddy he would keep them all very nice. And -when he got home he ran and kissed his Mammy Elephant, who had just -begun to wonder where he and Daddy had been all day. - -And then they all had supper. - - - - -LITTLE BROWN HEN - - - Little Brown Hen, one warm spring day, - Made a nest in the barn, in the clover hay. - - Said Little Brown Hen, "Eggs are so dear, - The Farmer Boy might come in here, - - “So I really believe it may be wise, - To hide my nest from his bright blue eyes.” - - The Bossy-calf saw her very well, - But she knew the Bossy-calf wouldn’t tell. - - And every day when the clock struck ten, - With a cheerful song that Little Brown Hen - -[Illustration] - - Laid an egg in the nest in the clover hay, - Until she had twelve eggs hidden away. - - In that nest, which was almost out of sight, - Sat Little Brown Hen, both day and night; - - And the Bossy-calf knew her secret well, - But the Bossy-calf would never tell. - -[Illustration] - - And the little gray mice came there to play, - To amuse the Little Brown Hen all day, - - Till one morning, oh, such a pretty sight, - Out in the sunshine warm and bright! - - Little Brown Hen--proud, happy dame-- - With twelve little fluffy chickens came! - -[Illustration] - - Said Baby Fritz, with a joyous shout, - “Look, Buddie, the chicks are all popped out!” - - You should have seen the Farmer Boy! - His eyes were all bulged out with joy. - - But the Bossy-calf didn’t see, alas! - He was out in the meadow, eating grass. - -[Illustration] - - - - -THE LITTLE BROWN DOG AND THE LITTLE WHITE CAT - - - The Little Brown Dog had a little cold nose, - O me, O my! - The Little White Cat had pins in her toes, - O me, O my! - The Little Brown Dog poked his little cold nose - Too near the pins in the little Cat’s toes! - Said the Dog, “Woo, ow!” Said the Cat, “Meouw!” - O me, O my!

O me, O my! - -[Illustration] - - Said the Little Brown Dog to the Little White Cat, - “O me, O my! - There’s a bowl of cream on the kitchen mat. - O me, O my!” - They ate the cream, and after that, - The best of friends were the Dog and Cat, - And the Cat sings, “Meouw!” and the Dog, “Bow-wow!” - O me, O my!
