-
-</div>
-
-<p>This Second Reader, like the two preceding books of
-the Aldine Series, combines material and method in such
-a way that the former does not suffer, while the latter
-gains by the combination. That is, the subject-matter
-of the book, both the text and the illustrations, is just
-as suitable and just as interesting as it could be made were
-there no such thing as method; indeed, the sole sign of
-method, as one reads the book, is the parenthesis about
-certain words preceding the stories. At the same time,
-this subject-matter, both the text and the illustrations,
-embodies in systematic arrangement the most effective
-principles of mastering the mechanics of reading.</p>
-
-<p>Children who have read thoroughly the preceding books
-of this Series have acquired independence, the habit of
-self-reliance, and the power of self-help to such a degree
-that they will be able to master this book with little or
-no direct aid from the teacher. And when they have
-thus mastered this book, they will be good readers. That
-is, so far as the mechanics of reading is concerned, they
-will be able to read unaided anything which they can<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_vi"></a>[vi]</span>
-understand; so far as the subject-matter is concerned,
-they will be able to understand from the printed page
-anything which they can understand through the spoken
-word. More than this, if the teacher has contributed her
-part, most such children will have realized the utility and
-tasted the real delights of reading to such an extent that
-they will continue to read of their own accord; most of
-them will also be good oral readers, reading with appropriate
-expression and genuine enthusiasm.</p>
-
-<p>These statements are not mere predictions of the hoped-for
-results of untried theories; they are simple, unexaggerated
-expressions of facts which have been observed in
-the work of thousands of children of a score of nationalities.</p>
-
-<p>To secure such results a complete mastery and intelligent
-observation is necessary of the principles and plans
-described in the authors’ <i>Manual for Teachers</i>, entitled
-“Learning to Read.”</p>
-
-<p>The authors gratefully acknowledge their indebtedness
-to Miss Marie Van Vorst for the use of “Three of us
-Know” and “The Sandman”; to Mrs. Emily Huntington
-Miller for “The Bluebird”; to Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin
-&amp; Co. for the use of the poem “Discontented,” by Sarah
-Orne Jewett, and “Calling the Violet,” by Lucy Larcom;
-to Messrs. Charles Scribner’s Sons for “The Wind,” by
-Robert Louis Stevenson.</p>

-
-<p>A raven was very unhappy because his feathers
-were black.</p>
-
-<p>One day he saw a beautiful white swan swimming
-in a lake.</p>
-
-<p>“How beautiful and white her feathers are,”<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_7"></a>[7]</span>
-he thought. “It must be because she washes
-them so much. Why, she almost lives in the
-water. If I should wash my feathers all day
-long, they might get white, too. I will try it.”</p>
-
-<p>So he flew from his nest in the woods, and
-lived for days near the lake.</p>
-
-<p>Every day he washed his feathers from morning
-to night.</p>
-
-<p>But his feathers did not get white.</p>
-
-<p>They were just as black as ever.</p>
-
-<p>But as the raven was not used to living in
-water, he caught a very bad cold.</p>
-
-<p>So, at last, he flew back to his nest in the
-wood.</p>
-
-<p>“It is no use,” he croaked. “I can never
-be white. I do not want to be white. Black
-feathers are pretty enough for me. Croak!
-Croak!”</p>
-
-<p>All ravens have said “Croak! Croak!” ever

-<p>One day a crow found a lot of peacock feathers.</p>
-
-<p>“My,” cried the silly crow, “how lucky I am.
-No other crow in the world will look as fine as I.
-How all my old friends will envy me!”</p>
-
-<p>And the proud crow stuck the peacock feathers
-all over his back.</p>
-
-<p>Then he flew away to show himself to his

-
-<p>He strutted up and down before them.</p>
-
-<p>But they only laughed at him.</p>
-
-<p>“Just look at that silly bird!” they cried.<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_9"></a>[9]</span>
-“See him strut! Did you ever see anything so
-proud? Caw, caw, caw!”</p>
-
-<p>The proud crow was now very angry.</p>
-
-<p>“Do not speak to me,” he said. “I have fine
-feathers. I am a peacock. I will have nothing

-
-<p>“How do you do, my dear friends?” he said in

-Yon are just an old black crow.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_11"></a>[11]</span></p>
-
-<p>Then the peacocks fell upon the old crow, and

-
-<p>They tore out many of his own feathers, too.</p>
-
-<p>The foolish crow was a sight!</p>
-
-<p>He crept back to his old friends.</p>
-
-<p>He tried to steal in among them without being

-
-<p>But they all cried out, “Who are you? What
-do you want here?”</p>
-
-<p>“Don’t you see that I am your old friend?”
-croaked the crow. “I am going to live with you
-always.”</p>
-
-<p>“No, you are not,” answered a wise old crow.
-“You are no friend of ours. A few old peacock
-feathers made you think you were a peacock. So
-you left your old friends. The peacocks saw you
-were a cheat and drove you away. Hereafter you
-must live alone. Be off with you!”</p>

-<p>One day a little kid was lost in a dark wood.</p>
-
-<p>He ran on and on, but could not find his way
-out.</p>
-
-<p>At last he became frightened and began to
-bleat.</p>
-
-<p>A hungry wolf heard him.</p>
-
-<p>How glad the wolf was to find such a good
-dinner!</p>
-
-<p>“Oh, Mr. Wolf!” cried the little kid, “please
-show me the way home.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_13"></a>[13]</span></p>

-</div>
-
-<p>“Show you the way home!” growled the wolf.
-“I am hungry and I’m going to eat you.”</p>
-
-<p>“Oh, please, please, Mr. Wolf,” begged the
-frightened kid, “please let me go!”</p>
-
-<p>“No, no, I’ll eat you,” growled the wolf.</p>
-
-<p>And he sprang at the kid, now almost dead with
-fright.</p>
-
-<p>Just then a lucky thought came to the little kid.</p>
-
-<p>“Oh, Mr. Wolf,” said he, “I have heard that<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_14"></a>[14]</span>
-you make very fine music. I love to dance. Will
-you not sing for me, so that I may have one more
-dance before I die? It is not much to ask.”</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="illus010" style="max-width: 31.25em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus010.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>This pleased the wolf, for he was proud of his
-voice.</p>
-
-<p>“Well,” he growled, “music is good before eating.
-I often sing before my dinner. To-day I was
-too hungry to think of it. But I will sing just one
-song. Then I will eat you. Dance lively, now!”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_15"></a>[15]</span></p>
-
-<p>So the wolf sang a song, and the kid danced his
-best.</p>
-
-<p>When the wolf stopped, the kid cried, “That was
-good. But you did not sing loud enough or fast
-enough for me. Is that the best you can do?”</p>
-
-<p>“No,” said the wolf. “I can sing louder and
-faster than any one in the woods. Listen!”</p>
-
-<p>So the wolf sang louder and faster.</p>
-
-<p>And the kid danced livelier and better than before.</p>
-
-<p>But the wolf made so much noise that the dogs
-heard it.</p>
-
-<p>They came running into the woods to see what
-the matter was.</p>
-
-<p>The wolf had to run for his life.</p>
-
-<p>But the wise little kid trotted safely home to his
-mother.</p>
-
-<p>“I have to go without my dinner,” growled the
-wolf. “I alone am to blame. I should kill and eat
-kids, not sing for them.”</p>

-
-<p>An old hen found a nest behind the gate.</p>
-
-<p>It was full of eggs. Such beautiful eggs!</p>
-
-<p>They would make any old hen’s heart glad.</p>
-
-<p>“I will sit on these eggs. I will keep them
-warm,” thought the hen. “Then a little chicken
-will come out of each one.”</p>
-
-<p>So the old hen spread her wings over the eggs.</p>
-
-<p>How very wide she had to spread them!</p>
-
-<p>For many days she sat there waiting.</p>
-
-<p>One morning she awoke to find her nest full
-of little ones.</p>
-
-<p>One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
-nine, ten, eleven, twelve, there were.</p>
-
-<p>“Cluck, cluck, what dear little chickens,” said
-the hen.</p>
-
-<p>“Come and get breakfast. Cluck, cluck, cluck,
-cluck! What hungry chickens!</p>
-
-<p>Now I will let you play in the meadow. Come
-down to the brook first and get a drink.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_18"></a>[18]</span></p>
-
-<p>The water is clear and cool. Do not go too
-near, or you will fall in.”</p>
-
-<p>Now, what do you think those little ones did?</p>
-
-<p>You never could guess, so I will tell you.</p>
-
-<p>As soon as they saw the brook they ran to
-it. They ran as fast as ever they could go.</p>
-
-<p>They rushed right into the water.</p>
-
-<p>“Cluck, cluck! Cluck, cluck! Come back!
-Come back!” called the old hen. “Come back,
-come back to your mother!”</p>
-
-<p>But they did not come back.</p>
-
-<p>They did not even listen.</p>
-
-<p>They sailed clear across the stream.</p>
-
-<p>They sailed up stream and they sailed down
-stream.</p>
-
-<p>But they did not come back to their mother.</p>
-
-<p>She could only run up and down the bank, looking
-and calling.</p>
-
-<p>“What shall I do? What shall I do?” she
-cried. “Come back! Come back, you naughty<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_19"></a>[19]</span>

-<p>Once upon a time Tumtollo climbed a tree.</p>
-
-<p>The wind blew hard and uprooted the tree.</p>
-
-<p>Tumtollo was thrown to the ground.</p>
-
-<p>“Oh, oh, oh!” he cried with pain, “oh, oh,
-oh!”</p>
-
-<p>“My, isn’t the tree strong!” cried he; “it can
-throw Tumtollo to the ground.”</p>
-
-<p>“You are wrong,” creaked the tree. “I am
-not strong. If I were, could I be uprooted by the
-wind?”</p>
-
-<p>“Ah, I see,” said Tumtollo, “it is the wind that
-is strong.</p>
-
-<p>The wind uprooted the tree.</p>
-
-<p>The tree threw Tumtollo to the ground.”</p>
-
-<p>“No, friend, you are wrong,” sighed the
-wind. “If I were strong, could I be stopped by
-the hill?”</p>
-
-<p>“Oh, I see now,” said Tumtollo, “it is the hill
-that is strong.</p>

-<p>“You are a good Lambikin,” said his Granny.</p>
-
-<p>And she put him into the corn-bin.</p>

-
-<p>He ate, and ate, and ate, and he ate until he

-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_41"></a>[41]</span></p>
-
-<p>“Come, Lambikin,” said his Granny, “you are

-on the way, I am so plump and tender.”</p>
-
-<p>“Oh, dear! Oh, dear!” cried old Granny in a
-fright.</p>
-
-<p>“Never fear, Granny dear,” said cunning
-Lambikin. “I’ll tell you what to do. Just
-make me a little drumikin out of the skin of my
-little brother who died. I can get into it and roll
-along nicely.”</p>
-
-<p>So old Granny made Lambikin a drumikin out
-of the skin of his dead brother.</p>
-
-<p>And cunning Lambikin curled himself up into
-a round ball in the drumikin.</p>
-
-<p>And he rolled gayly away.</p>
-

-<p>There was once an ant.</p>
-
-<p>While sweeping her house one day, this ant
-found three pieces of money.</p>
-
-<p>“What shall I buy?” said she.</p>
-
-<p>“Shall I buy fish?”</p>
-
-<p>“No, fish is full of bones. I can’t eat bones.
-I’ll not buy fish.”</p>
-
-<p>“Shall I buy bread?”</p>
-
-<p>“No, bread has crust. I can’t eat crust. I’ll
-not buy bread.”</p>
-
-<p>“Shall I buy peaches?”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_47"></a>[47]</span></p>
-
-<p>“No, peaches have stones. I can’t eat stones.
-I’ll not buy peaches.”</p>
-
-<p>“Shall I buy corn?”</p>
-
-<p>“No, corn grows on a cob. I can’t eat cobs.
-I’ll not buy corn.”</p>
-
-<p>“Shall I buy apples?”</p>
-
-<p>“No, apples have seeds. I can’t eat seeds
-I’ll not buy apples.”</p>
-
-<p>“Shall I buy a ribbon?”</p>
-
-<p>“Yes, that’s just what I want. I will buy a
-ribbon.”</p>
-
-<p>And away ran Miss Ant to the store and bought
-her a bright red ribbon.</p>
-
-<p>She tied the ribbon about her
-neck and sat in her window.</p>
-
-<p>An ox came along and said, “How
-pretty you are, Miss Ant! Will you
-marry me?”</p>
-
-<p>“Sing,” said the ant, “so I may
-hear your voice.”</p>
-

-
-<p>The ox was very proud of his voice and he
-bellowed with all his might.</p>
-
-<p>“No, no,” cried the ant, “I’ll not marry you,
-Mr. Ox. Your bellow frightens me. Go away.”</p>
-
-<p>Soon a lion came that way and said, “How
-pretty you are, Miss Ant! Will you marry
-me?”</p>
-
-<div class="figright illowp45" id="illus041" style="max-width: 9.375em;">

-
-<p>“Sing,” said the ant, “so I may

-
-<p>The lion was proud of his voice
-and he roared with all his might.</p>
-
-<p>“No, no,” cried the ant, “I’ll
-not marry you, Mr. Lion. Your
-loud roar frightens me. It shakes
-the very hills. Go away.”</p>
-
-<p>The lion had not been gone long when a proud
-rooster came strutting along that way.</p>
-
-<p>“How pretty you are, Miss Ant! Will you
-marry me?” said the rooster.</p>
-
-<p>“Sing,” said the ant, “so I may hear your voice.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_49"></a>[49]</span></p>
-
-<p>The rooster was very proud of his shrill voice
-and he crowed with all his might.</p>

-
-<p>“No, no,” cried the ant, “I’ll not
-marry you, Mr. Rooster. Your shrill
-crow frightens me. Go away.”</p>
-
-<p>The rooster was hardly out of sight
-when a big dog came trotting that way.</p>
-
-<p>“How pretty you are, Miss Ant! Will you
-marry me?” said the dog.</p>
-
-<p>“Sing,” said the ant, “so I may hear your
-voice.”</p>
-
-<div class="figright illowp32" id="illus043" style="max-width: 9.375em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus043.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>The dog was very proud of his voice
-and he barked with all his might.</p>
-
-<p>“No, no,” cried the ant, “I’ll not
-marry you, Mr. Dog. Your sharp bark
-frightens me. Go away.”</p>
-
-<p>After a time a wee little mouse came
-frisking that way.</p>
-
-<p>“How pretty you are, Miss Ant! Will you
-marry me?” said the mouse.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_50"></a>[50]</span></p>
-
-<p>“Sing,” said the ant, “so I may hear your voice.”</p>
-
-<p>Now the wee little mouse was not at all proud
-of his voice. But he squeaked as sweetly as he
-could, “Wee, wee, wee!”</p>
-
-<p>“Yes, yes,” cried the ant, “I’ll marry you,
-dear Mouse. Your sweet little voice pleases me.
-Come right in.”</p>
-
-<p>In scampered the mouse.</p>
-
-<p>The ant gave him two pieces of money, for she
-had spent only one for her ribbon.</p>
-
-<p>He hurried away to the store, and came quickly
-back bringing apples and bread.</p>
-
-<p>Mrs. Ant Mouse now sat down to a feast.</p>
-
-<p>Mr. Mouse ate the crusts and the seeds, so
-nothing was lost.</p>

-
-<p>Now we come to the wide meadow.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_56"></a>[56]</span></p>
-
-<p>Here the little brook flows more slowly and
-quietly.</p>
-
-<p>But it never stops.</p>
-
-<p>It must flow ever on and on.</p>
-
-<p>Bright flowers are hiding along its banks.</p>
-
-<p>They peep out from the grass.</p>
-
-<p>They look into the clear flowing water.</p>
-
-<p>“Stay, little brook, play with us,” they
-whisper.</p>
-
-<p>“Why do you always hurry so? Are you not

-
-<p>“No, no, I am never weary, never tired,” murmurs
-the brook.</p>
-
-<p>“I never stop to play.</p>
-
-<p>It is play for me to rush swiftly down the

-
-<p>It is fun to flow gently across the meadow.</p>

-
-<p>Now the brook glides into the woodland.</p>
-
-<p>Here the sad willows droop over the gliding
-waters.</p>
-
-<p>High above them tower the oak, the ash, and
-the pine trees.</p>
-
-<p>“Do not hurry, little brook,” whisper their
-leaves.</p>
-
-<p>“Are you not tired?</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_58"></a>[58]</span></p>
-
-<p>You have come a long way.</p>
-
-<p>Here the bright sun never comes.</p>
-
-<p>Stay with us, and we will shade you.</p>
-
-<p>Rest a while under our spreading branches.</p>
-
-<p>In the meadow the burning sun is so hot.</p>
-
-<p>But here it is cool.</p>
-
-<p>Why can you not stay with us?</p>
-
-<p>Why must you always hurry on?”</p>
-
-<p>“Because I have to meet the river.</p>
-
-<p>I love your wide spreading branches.</p>
-
-<p>I love the gentle murmur of your green leaves.</p>
-
-<p>I love your cool shade.</p>
-
-<p>You are very kind to me.</p>
-
-<p>But I cannot stay with you.</p>
-
-<p>The great river needs me.</p>
-
-<p>I shall have to hurry on.</p>
-
-<p>Good-by, noble trees.</p>

-<p>On the steep hillside grew a tall ash tree.</p>
-

-
-<p>Its leaves looked down into the flashing water.</p>
-
-<p>There, when the sun shone brightly, they saw
-leaves looking up at them.</p>
-
-<p>They called these “water leaves.”</p>
-
-<p>The little tree leaves wished to go to the water
-leaves.</p>
-
-<p>Many of them had already fluttered down.</p>
-
-<p>But one leaf, very young, could not let go her
-hold of the twig.</p>
-
-<p>At last a raging wind tore away the little leaf.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_66"></a>[66]</span></p>
-
-<p>Over and over she turned.</p>
-
-<p>Down, down, down, she fell.</p>
-
-<p>She was so afraid the wind would carry her
-away.</p>
-
-<p>But the friendly stream leaped up the rocks to
-meet her.</p>
-
-<p>It bore her away, swiftly but gently.</p>
-
-<p>The little leaf was afraid. She was lonesome.</p>
-
-<p>The dear little “water leaves” were nowhere to
-be seen.</p>
-
-<p>“Don’t be afraid, little leaf,” murmured the
-kind brook.</p>
-
-<p>“I will give you a fine ride.</p>
-
-<p>And I’ll talk to you all the time.</p>
-
-<p>I’ll tell you all about the things we pass.</p>
-
-<p>Here we are, already in the meadow.</p>
-
-<p>Now I don’t have to hurry.</p>
-
-<p>See the pretty flowers peeping over my banks.</p>
-
-<p>They all love me.</p>
-
-<p>I give them cool water to drink.</p>

-
-<p>Here we go past the old mossy log.</p>
-
-<p>Just see the frogs on it!</p>
-
-<p>They are all in a row.</p>
-
-<p>One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
-of them!</p>
-
-<p>They love me, too.</p>
-
-<p>When anything makes them afraid, they leap
-into me.</p>
-
-<p>They hide in some of my deep pools.</p>
-
-<p>Here is the shady woodland.</p>
-
-<p>Now I glide more slowly.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_68"></a>[68]</span></p>
-
-<p>Soon I shall meet the great river.</p>
-
-<p>I will not carry you into it.</p>
-
-<p>For there you would be afraid.</p>
-
-<p>I will land you here with lots of other leaves.”</p>
-
-<p>And the stream pushed her gently upon the low
-bank of sand.</p>
-
-<p>“Good-by,” he murmured; “good-by, little
-leaf.”</p>
-
-<p>And the little leaf lay quietly thinking.</p>
-
-<p>How many different things she had seen!</p>
-
-<p>She never dreamed there were so many things
-in the whole world.</p>

-<p>One morning a pretty little shepherdess drove
-her flock of sheep to the meadow. There she<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_78"></a>[78]</span>
-watched them while they ate the fresh, green
-grass. How sweet it tasted to the hungry sheep!</p>
-
-<p>A large dog went with the shepherdess to help
-care for the sheep. He was the shepherd.</p>
-
-<p>The shepherd let no lamb go astray. If one got
-too far from the flock, Mr. Shepherd ran after
-him.</p>
-
-<p>“Bow-wow! Go back!” cried the shepherd.</p>
-
-<p>The shepherdess took good care of her flock, too.
-She led them where the grass was greenest and
-sweetest.</p>
-
-<p>When noon came all the sheep had eaten
-enough. So they lay down quietly in the cool
-shade of some old oak trees. Little Bo-peep
-lay down too, with her good shepherd dog beside
-her.</p>
-
-<p>How cool and still it was there! Little
-Bo-peep could hear only the gentle rustling of
-the leaves overhead. She could feel only the
-soft wind on her cheek.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_79"></a>[79]</span></p>
-
-<p>The wind blew more and more softly; the
-leaves rustled more and more gently. Soon little
-Bo-peep was fast asleep.</p>
-
-<p>“Bo-peep, Bo-peep, where are you?”</p>
-
-<p>“Bow-wow, bow-wow, bow-wow-wow!”</p>
-
-<p>“Bo-peep, Bo-peep!”</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>Little Bo-peep awoke with a start. She sat upright,
-her eyes wide open. Not a sheep could she
-see. Her dog was not beside her. It was dark;<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_80"></a>[80]</span>
-the stars were twinkling overhead. How frightened
-the little shepherdess was!</p>
-
-<p>“Bow-wow!”</p>
-
-<p>“Bo-peep, Bo-peep! Where are you, child?”
-Surely that was her mother’s voice.</p>
-
-<p>“Here, mother, here I am, under the big oak
-tree!” called Bo-peep.</p>
-
-<p>Up rushed the dog, and mother followed close
-behind.</p>
-
-<p>“Where are my sheep, mother? I fear they
-are lost.”</p>
-
-<p>“Where is my little Bo-peep? I feared she
-was lost.”</p>
-
-<p>“Here is your Bo-peep, dear mother. How
-long I must have slept!”</p>
-
-<p>“Your sheep are all safe at home. Old Rover
-drove them in long ago.”</p>
-
-<p>This is the way Bo-peep lost her sheep; this is
-the way she found them. And this is the way Bo-peep
-was lost; and this is the way she was found.</p>

-<p>A family of rats had their home in a barn.</p>
-
-<p>They made many snug nests in the warm hay.</p>
-
-<p>They dug holes through the hay from nest to nest.</p>
-
-<p>They ran in and out and all about the barn.
-They had nothing to fear.</p>
-
-<p>When they were hungry they could always find
-nice grain in the stalls. They became very fat.</p>
-
-<p>And they were as happy a family of rats as one
-could wish to see.</p>
-
-<p>But one day a big black cat found the rats’ barn.</p>
-
-<p>That was a sad day for the rat family!</p>
-
-<p>This cat was not fat and he was not happy.</p>
-
-<p>He was very thin, very cross, and very hungry.</p>
-

-
-<p>One thing he liked to eat best
-of all things in the world—rats.</p>
-
-<p>How he did love nice, fat, happy
-rats! At last he had found them,
-a whole big family of them!</p>
-
-<p>This hungry, greedy cat now
-had rat for breakfast, rat for dinner,
-and rat for supper. And
-sometimes he had rat between meals.</p>
-
-<p>Very soon this cat began to grow fat and happy.</p>
-
-<p>But happy cats make unhappy rats. While
-this cat grew fat, these rats grew thin.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="illus071" style="max-width: 31.25em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus071.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>Yet in the stalls there was just as much grain
-as ever. But it was only a very hungry rat that<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_86"></a>[86]</span>
-dared go for it. For no rat could tell when the
-cat might pounce upon him.</p>
-
-<p>That sly cat stole about without a sound.</p>
-
-<p>The most watchful rat could hear nothing, could
-see no living thing.</p>
-
-<p>Then, pounce! The wicked cat’s claws held
-him fast.</p>
-
-<p>So, many a poor rat went to the stall, and
-never came back. And the rat family was growing
-smaller day by day.</p>
-
-<p>At last the wise old rats saw that something
-must be done. So they called a meeting of the
-whole family of rats, as many as were still
-alive.</p>
-
-<p>When all had come together in a safe place and
-were still, the oldest and wisest rat rose up on his
-hind legs.</p>
-
-<p>He stood up very straight, very tall, and very thin.</p>
-
-<p>“My dear brothers and sisters, my dear children
-and grandchildren!” began the wise old rat.</p>

-
-<p>“You all know the one fear of our lives.”
-Every rat trembled.</p>
-
-<p>“That wicked cat has grown fat and sleek feeding
-on your brothers, your mothers, your wives,
-and your children.</p>
-
-<p>No one of you knows when his turn may come

-
-<p>He steals upon you without warning.</p>
-
-<p>He is never seen, he is never heard, until it is
-too late.</p>
-
-<p>But you were not called together to hear what
-you already know only too well.</p>

-
-<p>You were called here to do something to make
-your lives safer and happier.</p>
-
-<p>What can be done? Who has a plan?”</p>
-
-<p>The old rat waited.</p>
-
-<p>All the other rats looked from one to another,
-but no one spoke.</p>
-
-<p>“Well, then,” said the wise old rat at last,
-“listen to me.</p>
-
-<p>If we only knew where the cat was, we could
-not be caught. If we could only hear him coming,
-we might get out of his reach.</p>
-
-<p>Now, my plan is this. We will hang a bell to
-that cat’s neck.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_89"></a>[89]</span></p>
-
-<p>“The very thing! Hurrah! Hurrah!” cried
-all the rats together.</p>
-
-<p>“Why haven’t we thought of that before?</p>
-
-<p>No more of us will go to make dinners for
-that old cat.</p>
-
-<p>Now, for all the corn we can eat!”</p>
-
-<p>And away sprang the hungry rats for the stalls.</p>
-
-<p>“Stop! Stop!” cried the wise old rat. “Back
-to your places!</p>
-
-<p>The bell isn’t on the cat’s neck yet.”</p>
-
-<p>Slowly and sadly the starving rats settled back.</p>
-
-<p>“Now,” the old rat went on, “who will tie the
-bell around the cat’s neck?”</p>

-
-<p>Then they sat very still and looked at each
-other.</p>
-
-<p>Oh! how hungry they were! How sweet that
-yellow corn in the stall would taste.</p>
-
-<p>One by one they began to steal away softly.</p>
-
-<p>Where do you think they were going?</p>
-
-<p>Rat families still live in barns.</p>
-
-<p>Cats still feed upon them.</p>
-
-<p>But no rat has ever tried to make life safer by

-
-<p>Years and years ago—ever so many years
-ago—only one bird in the whole world knew how
-to build a nest. That wise bird was the magpie.</p>
-
-<p>One day all the other birds came to the magpie.
-They wanted to learn how to build nests. They
-begged the magpie to teach them.</p>
-
-<p>“Indeed, I am glad to teach you,” said Mrs.
-Magpie. “Just listen and watch me. First,
-you must choose a tall tree, like this great maple.
-Then take sticks—”</p>
-
-<p>“A tree,” broke in the bold eagle, “a tree
-here in this valley! No
-trees nor valleys for me!
-My nest shall be on the
-highest cliff of yonder
-mountain.”</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp70" id="illus080" style="max-width: 25em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus080.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>And away flew the eagle
-without waiting to hear
-more of the magpie’s lesson.<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_96"></a>[96]</span>
-To this day he puts together
-a few rough sticks on
-a rocky mountain cliff, and
-calls them a nest.</p>
-
-<p>The magpie began again.
-“Take sticks like these,” she
-said, “to a high branch.”</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp42" id="illus081" style="max-width: 14.0625em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus081.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>“Are you a fool?” cried
-the lark. “Don’t you know
-that the first strong wind
-will blow your nest to the
-ground?” “And the first
-boy who comes this way will
-throw stones at it,” put in Mrs. Bob-o-link.</p>
-
-<p>“No high branches for us,” sang the lark and
-the bob-o-link together. And down they flew
-into the tall grass of the meadow. There they
-have made their nests ever since.</p>
-
-<p>Mrs. Magpie didn’t even look at the birds flying
-away. “Weave the sticks together so, in and<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_97"></a>[97]</span>
-out,” said she cheerfully. “That will make the
-bottom of the nest.”</p>
-
-<p>“I don’t mean to set my nest on a branch like
-that,” spoke up the oriole. “The wind surely
-would blow it off, as the lark just said.”</p>
-
-<p>And the oriole flew away and hung her nest
-from little twigs. There you
-may see it to-day swinging
-in the wind far out at the
-end of a long branch.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp75" id="illus082" style="max-width: 12.5em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus082.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>“Plaster the inside of your
-nest with mud,” Mrs. Magpie
-went on again. “Then
-line it with soft grass, so.”</p>
-
-<p>“Dear, dear, so much work to make a nest!”
-yawned the whip-poor-will. “I’m not going to
-take the trouble.” And that lazy bird hasn’t
-made a nest from that day to this. She just lays
-her eggs in a hollow on the ground, or perhaps on
-a log.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_98"></a>[98]</span></p>
-
-<p>“Who, who, who would go to all that trouble!”
-hooted the owl. “I think I have a better plan.”</p>
-
-<p>She looked very wise, but said no more. You
-can guess what her plan was when you find her
-eggs in a crow’s or a hawk’s old nest.</p>
-
-<p>“Now take more mud and sticks,” began the
-patient magpie once more. “You need to build
-a dome over your nest. That is to hide the little
-ones and to keep out the rain.”</p>
-
-<p>“Oh, never mind the dome,” said the robin.
-“I will cover my little ones with my wings. I
-can hide them and keep off
-the rain.”</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp60" id="illus083" style="max-width: 12.5em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus083.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>“You are right, Mrs.
-Robin,” said the crow. “We
-have no use for domes.” And
-to this day neither robins nor
-crows have built domes over
-their nests.</p>
-
-<p>Mrs. Magpie paid no more<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_99"></a>[99]</span>
-heed to these birds than to the others who had
-already left her. She went quietly on building
-her nest, just as she knew it ought to be built.
-Soon it was done, dome and all.</p>
-
-<p>“Indeed, Mrs. Magpie,” said the swallows, “we
-like your nest. The dome is a fine thing, but
-why should we build it? There are plenty of
-domes already built; we need only to make our
-nests under them.”</p>
-
-<p>Ever since then some swallows have made their
-nests under banks. Others have made theirs
-under roofs of open barns; and still others under
-eaves.</p>
-
-<p>So all the birds flew away and left Mrs. Magpie
-with never a “thank you.” Each one built
-her nest as she pleased. And each one thought
-her way so much better than the magpie’s.</p>
-
-<p>But the magpie still builds her nest in the top
-of a high tree. She makes it of mud and sticks
-and covers it with a dome.</p>

-<h3 id="heading29">THE WOLF AND THE STORK</h3>
-
-<p>A greedy wolf got a bone stuck in his throat.
-Try as he would, he could not get the bone out.
-At last he lay down to die, as he thought. But
-just then a stork came that way.</p>
-
-<p>“Good day, Mr. Wolf,” said the stork, kindly.</p>
-
-<p>But the wolf could not answer a word.</p>
-
-<p>The stork soon saw what the matter was, and
-with his long beak pulled the bone out of the
-wolf’s throat. Without a word, the greedy wolf
-sprang up and went on with his dinner.</p>
-
-<p>The stork, who was very hungry, began to pick
-up a few morsels of meat.</p>
-
-<p>“Be off with you!” snapped the wolf. “How
-dare you touch my meat!”</p>
-
-<p>“Is that the thanks I get for saving your life?”
-said the stork.</p>
-
-<p>“Thanks!” answered the wolf, “did I not let
-you draw your bill out of my jaws in safety? It
-is you who should be thankful.”</p>

-
-<p>A beautiful rose tree grew in the garden.
-Every morning she smiled up at the golden sun.
-But one morning when the sun rose, he was surprised
-to see that his friend, the rose, drooped
-sadly. He sent one of his warm rays down to
-earth to find out what the matter was.</p>
-
-<p>“Dear Rose,” said the bright sunbeam, “why
-do you droop and look so sad?”</p>
-
-<p>“Ah, me!” sighed the rose, “I am so unhappy!
-An ugly worm is eating my leaves, and
-he will not crawl away.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_108"></a>[108]</span></p>

-</div>
-
-<p>The sun felt very sorry for
-the rose. “I will not shine,”
-he said, “until Rose is happy.”
-So he hid behind a dark cloud.</p>
-
-<p>The wind came hurrying
-along. “Father Sun,” he cried,
-“why are you not shining to-day?”</p>
-
-<p>“Ah, me!” answered the sun, “dear Rose is
-so unhappy! An ugly worm is eating her leaves,
-and he will not crawl away. I will shine no more
-until Rose is happy.”</p>
-
-<p>“I, too, am so sorry,” whispered the wind. “I
-will blow no more until Rose is happy.” So saying
-he dropped to the earth and was still.</p>
-
-<p>A bird was surprised when the wind stopped.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_109"></a>[109]</span></p>
-
-<p>“Mr. Wind,” he called, “why have you stopped
-blowing?”</p>
-
-<p>“Ah, me!” sighed the wind. “Dear Rose is so
-unhappy! An ugly worm is eating her leaves,
-and he will not crawl away. So Sun will shine
-no more and I will blow no more until Rose is
-happy.”</p>
-
-<p>“I, also, love Rose,” sang the bird; “and I
-will sing no more until Rose is happy.” He flew
-away silently to his nest in the oak tree.</p>
-
-<p>“It is not night,” said the old tree; “why
-are you not flying and singing,
-little bird?”</p>
-
-<p>“Ah, me!” chirped the bird.
-“Dear Rose is so unhappy! An
-ugly worm is eating her leaves,
-and he will not crawl away. So
-Sun will shine no more, Wind will
-blow no more, and I will sing no
-more until Rose is happy.”</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>“That is all very sad,” whispered
-the tree. “I shall drop no more
-acorns until Rose is happy.”</p>
-
-<p>Soon the squirrel came to gather some nuts.
-But he could find very few.</p>
-
-<p>“Dear Tree,” he chattered, “please drop down
-some acorns.”</p>
-
-<p>“No,” answered the tree. “I cannot, now.”</p>
-
-<p>“Why not?” asked the squirrel.</p>
-
-<p>“Ah, me!” rustled the tree. “Dear Rose is so
-unhappy! An ugly worm is eating her leaves,
-and he will not crawl away. So Sun will shine no
-more, Wind will blow no more, Bird will sing no
-more, and I will drop no more acorns until Rose
-is happy again.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_111"></a>[111]</span></p>
-
-<p>“And I will work no more,” chirped the
-squirrel. “I will run away to my nest in the old
-hollow tree.”</p>
-
-<p>On the way to his home the squirrel met
-Mrs. Brown Duck.</p>
-
-<p>“Good morning, Mr. Squirrel,” quacked the
-duck. “Why are you not working this morning?”</p>
-
-<p>“Ah, me!” replied the squirrel. “Dear Rose is
-so unhappy! An ugly worm is eating her leaves,
-and he will not crawl away. So Sun will shine no
-more, Wind will blow no more, Bird will sing no
-more, Oak Tree will drop no more acorns, and I
-will work no more till Rose is happy.”</p>

-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_112"></a>[112]</span></p>
-
-<p>“Then I will swim no more,” said Mrs. Brown
-Duck. And she waddled off to the barnyard.
-There she met Mrs. White Hen.</p>
-
-<p>“Why do you look so sad, Mrs. Duck?” said
-the hen.</p>
-
-<p>“Ah, me!” quacked the duck. “Dear Rose
-is so unhappy! An ugly worm is eating her
-leaves, and he will not crawl away. So Sun will
-shine no more, Wind will blow no more, Bird will
-sing no more, Oak Tree will drop no more acorns,
-Squirrel will work no more, and I will swim no
-more until Rose is happy again.”</p>
-
-<p>“Indeed! Indeed!” cackled Mrs. White Hen.
-“Pray tell me how stopping your work will help
-Rose. If you wish Rose to be happy, you must do
-something for her. Come with me.”</p>
-
-<p>Away hurried the hen and the duck until they
-came to the rose. The old hen asked no
-questions. She did not even take time to say
-“Good morning.” But she cocked her head first<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_113"></a>[113]</span>
-on one side, then on the other, searching through
-the leaves of the rosebush with her bright little
-eyes. Suddenly she darted forward. “Snap!”
-went her bill, and the worm was swallowed.</p>
-
-<p>“There, Mrs. Duck,” clucked the hen, “see
-how I have helped Rose and at the same time got
-a nice breakfast for myself.”</p>
-
-<p>At once the rose looked up toward the sun and
-smiled. Thereupon the sun began to shine.</p>
-
-<p>“If I had only thought,” said the sun, “I
-might have burned that worm with my hot rays.”</p>
-
-<p>“And I might have blown him away,” whistled
-the wind, springing up suddenly.</p>

-
-<p>“If I had only thought,” sang the bird, “I

-
-<p>“And so might I,” quacked the duck as she
-waddled away toward the pond.</p>
-
-<p>The oak tree shook down a great shower of
-acorns, and the squirrel hastened to gather them.
-They, too, wished they had thought of some way
-to help Rose.</p>
-
-<p>But the clever old white hen said nothing at all.</p>

-<p>Once upon a time a little boy named Billy

-alone for many a weary mile, but at last he met a
-little gray pony.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_118"></a>[118]</span></p>
-
-<p>“Where are you going, Billy Binks?” neighed
-the pony.</p>
-
-<p>“I am going to seek my fortune,” said Billy
-Binks.</p>
-
-<p>“May I go, too?”</p>
-
-<p>“If I take you, will you help me win my
-fortune?”</p>
-
-<p>“Yes.”</p>
-
-<p>“How?”</p>
-
-<p>“I will carry you on my back and kick all
-your enemies with my hard hoofs.”</p>
-
-<p>“Very well, you may come along.”</p>
-
-<p>Then they went on a little farther and met a cow.</p>
-
-<p>“Where are you going, Billy Binks?” mooed
-the cow.</p>
-
-<p>“I am going to seek my fortune,” answered
-Billy Binks.</p>
-

-
-<p>“Yes.”</p>
-
-<p>“How?”</p>
-
-<p>“I will moo, and toss your enemies on my

-
-<p>“Very well, you may come.”</p>
-
-<p>When they had walked on a little farther they
-met a dog.</p>
-
-<p>“Where are you going, Billy Binks?” barked
-the dog.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_120"></a>[120]</span></p>
-
-<p>“I am going to seek my fortune,” answered
-Billy Binks.</p>
-

-
-<p>After walking a little farther they met a cat.</p>
-
-<p>“Where are you going, Billy Binks?” mewed

-
-<p>“I am going to seek my fortune,” answered
-Billy Binks.</p>
-
-<p>“May I go, too?”</p>
-
-<p>“If I take you, will you help me win my
-fortune?”</p>
-
-<p>“Yes.”</p>
-
-<p>“How?”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_121"></a>[121]</span></p>
-
-<p>“I will purr, and scratch your enemies with
-my sharp claws.”</p>
-
-<p>“Very well, you may come.”</p>
-
-<p>They continued their journey and presently
-met a raven.</p>
-
-<p>“Where are you going, Billy Binks?” croaked
-the raven.</p>
-
-<p>“I am going to seek my fortune.”</p>
-
-<p>“May I go, too?”</p>
-
-<p>“If I take you, will you help me win my
-fortune?”</p>
-
-<p>“Yes.”</p>
-
-<p>“How?”</p>
-
-<p>“I will croak, and peck your enemies’ eyes out
-with my sharp beak.”</p>
-
-<p>“Very well, you may come.”</p>
-
-<p>On and on they walked till at last they entered
-a deep, dark wood. All day they journeyed
-through this forest, which grew denser and darker
-as night came on.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_122"></a>[122]</span></p>
-
-<p>“We are near a clearing in this wood,” croaked
-the raven, who had been soaring above the treetops.
-“Let us keep right on.”</p>
-
-<p>Suddenly all were startled by a bright light,
-the brightest any of them had ever seen. It
-flashed out through the trees directly in front
-of them. It fairly dazzled and blinded them.
-Then it as suddenly disappeared, and left them
-standing terrified in the pitch-black darkness of
-the night.</p>
-
-<p>Again the light flashed out, and again disappeared.</p>
-
-<p>“What can it be?” asked Billy Binks, hoarsely,
-as soon as he could find his voice.</p>
-
-<p>“Perhaps it is a lamp,” mewed the cat.</p>
-
-<p>“No, it is too bright for a lamp,” answered
-Billy Binks.</p>
-
-<p>“It might be a house on fire,” barked the
-dog.</p>
-
-<p>“No, if it were, we could see the light all<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_123"></a>[123]</span>
-the time; and besides, there is no house here.
-I have flown this way before,” answered the
-raven.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="illus099" style="max-width: 31.25em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus099.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>“It may be a lighthouse,” said Billy Binks.</p>
-
-<p>“No,” replied the raven, “the sea is miles from
-here. You all keep still while I fly over the treetops
-and find out what it is.”</p>
-
-<p>Billy Binks and his animal friends kept ever so
-quiet, while the raven flew up and quickly disappeared<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_124"></a>[124]</span>
-in the darkness. It seemed hours before
-he returned.</p>
-
-<p>“Oh, my friends,” croaked the raven, alighting
-in their midst at last, “you never saw such a
-sight! There’s the most horrible, monstrous hob-goblin
-over there in the clearing. He has a nose
-as long as a broomstick—”</p>
-
-<p>“Oh! Oh! Oh!” cried Billy Binks and his

-
-<p>“—And a mouth big enough to swallow us all!”</p>
-
-<p>“Oh! Oh! Oh!” cried Billy Binks and his

-
-<p>“He has a great fire blazing among some rocks.
-That is the light you saw. When he walks in
-front of it you cannot see the light. That is why
-you thought it disappeared.”</p>

-
-<p>“I see! I see! I see!” said Billy Binks and
-his friends.</p>
-
-<p>“He is busy melting gold, and he has piles of
-gold and jewels hidden in his cave—”</p>
-
-<p>“Ah, ha!” laughed Billy Binks, as he climbed
-bravely upon his gray pony.</p>
-
-<p>“His cave is full of nice plump field mice—”</p>
-
-<p>“Mew! Mew!” cried the cat, as she scrambled
-up behind Billy Binks.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_126"></a>[126]</span></p>
-
-<p>“In the bushes back of the cave live many rabbits—”</p>
-
-<p>“Bow-wow!” barked the dog, as he bounded
-toward Billy Binks.</p>
-
-<p>“Near the cave is a large green meadow, with
-the sweetest grass and the coolest brook in the
-world—”</p>
-
-<p>“Moo! Moo!” lowed the cow, as she, too, hurried
-up beside Billy Binks.</p>
-
-<p>“And there is a tall tree that will make a fine
-home for me,” finished the raven, as she flew over
-Billy Binks’s head.</p>
-
-<p>“Come on, friends,” whispered Billy Binks,
-boldly. “It is time to win my fortune. Remember
-you have all promised to help me.”</p>
-
-<p>“Yes, yes, I’ll help. And I think I see my fortune,
-too,” answered each of the animals, now as
-bold as Billy Binks.</p>
-
-<p>Softly, quietly, and slowly they crept through
-the forest. Presently they came to the clearing.<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_127"></a>[127]</span>
-There stood the ugly, black hob-goblin, bending
-over his fire. His back was turned toward them.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="illus101" style="max-width: 31.25em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus101.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>“Now!” shouted Billy Binks, and they all
-rushed at the terrible monster.</p>
-
-<p>The raven dashed into his face and pecked at
-his large green eyes.</p>
-
-<p>The cat scratched great gashes in his long nose.</p>
-
-<p>The dog bit him, and the horse kicked him.</p>
-
-<p>The enraged cow rushed upon him with lowered<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_128"></a>[128]</span>
-head, caught him on her horns, and tossed him as
-high as the treetops.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="illus102" style="max-width: 31.25em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus102.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>Then the cow began to bellow.</p>
-
-<p>The dog began to howl.</p>
-
-<p>The cat began to waul.</p>
-
-<p>The raven began to caw.</p>
-
-<p>The pony began to prance.</p>
-
-<p>And Billy Binks began to shout with all his
-might.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_129"></a>[129]</span></p>
-
-<p>Such a frightful din that old hob-goblin had
-never heard! He picked himself up from the
-sharp rocks where he had fallen, and dashed away
-with might and main through the forest. If he
-hasn’t stopped, he is running still.</p>
-
-<p>“Ho, ho!” cried Billy Binks, springing from
-the gray pony and running to the mouth of the
-cave. “This heap of gold and this pile of jewels
-will do for my fortune. If you carry them safely
-home for me, Pony, I will build you a beautiful
-stable, and you shall have a full crib of oats before
-you all the rest of your life. That will be
-your fortune.”</p>
-
-<p>“This cave, full of good, plump mice, is my fortune,”
-called the cat, as she pounced on the first
-unlucky mouse.</p>
-
-<p>“All these rabbits shall be my fortune,” barked
-the dog, as he set off in hot haste after a fleeing
-bunny.</p>
-
-<p>“And this green meadow is my fortune,”<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_130"></a>[130]</span>
-mooed the cow, as she began to crop the sweet
-grass.</p>
-
-<p>“Who could have a better fortune than this?”
-croaked the raven, flying to the top of a tall tree.</p>
-
-<p>So Billy Binks said “Good-by” to his friends,
-and left them each with his fortune. He quickly
-bagged the gold and jewels, threw them across the
-pony’s back, and mounting, hurried off homeward.</p>
-
-<p>The pony smelled oats all the way, while Billy
-Binks saw castles and lands on all sides.</p>

-<p>Once upon a time there was a poor old woman
-living in a village of a far country. She had
-gathered some beans and was making ready to
-cook them. She built a fire of sticks, but, as
-these were damp, they did not burn well. So
-she thrust in a handful of dry straw. Now the
-flames leaped up, and the sticks snapped and
-crackled in the blaze.</p>
-
-<p>A live red coal flew out of the fire, fell on the
-ground beside a straw, and lay there smoking.<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_139"></a>[139]</span>
-Just then a bean dropped from the pot which the
-old woman was filling, rolled away, and came to
-rest close to the coal and the straw.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="illus110" style="max-width: 31.25em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus110.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>“Hullo, Mr. Coal,” said the straw. “How you
-smoke! Are you frightened? Where did you
-come from?”</p>
-
-<p>“I just sprang out of that fire,” answered the
-coal. “Had I not jumped just as I did, I should
-now be nothing but ashes. My, look at that
-blaze!”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_140"></a>[140]</span></p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="illus111" style="max-width: 31.25em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus111.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>“I, too, jumped in the nick of time,” spoke up
-the bean. “That cruel old woman was just pouring
-me into the pot when I leaped over the
-edge, and here I am.”</p>
-
-<p>“Yes, here you are, silly thing,” broke out the
-coal and the straw together. “But what are you
-going to do? As soon as the old woman turns
-around she will spy you, then back you’ll go
-into the pot. It’s hotter now than when you
-left it.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_141"></a>[141]</span></p>
-
-<p>“Don’t bother about me; think of yourselves,”
-answered the bean, angrily. “When the old
-woman picks me up, she’ll tread on you, Mr.
-Coal, and crush your life out. And you, Mrs.
-Straw, she’ll stick into the blaze. It’s hotter
-there than in the pot.”</p>
-
-<p>“Come, come,” said the straw, softly, “let’s not
-quarrel. Let’s be friends and stick together.
-Perhaps we can save ourselves yet.”</p>
-
-<p>“You are quite right, Mrs. Straw,” said the coal.</p>
-
-<p>The bean said nothing, but she listened eagerly
-to the plans of the two others. These soon agreed
-to travel together to a far country, where they
-hoped to find their fortune. They set out without
-delay, and the bean rolled along behind.</p>
-
-<p>Soon the three travelers came to a little gurgling
-brook. It seemed to them a mighty rushing
-and roaring torrent.</p>
-
-<p>“Oh, dear, what shall we do now?” asked the
-bean, speaking for the first time since the journey<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_142"></a>[142]</span>
-began. “We can never get across these awful
-waters. Hear them thunder down the rocky
-cliffs!”</p>
-
-<p>“Don’t worry, little Bean,” said the straw,
-proudly. “I’ll help you and Mr. Coal across in a
-twinkling.”</p>
-
-<p>Thereupon the straw laid herself across the
-stream. She was just long enough to reach from
-bank to bank.</p>
-
-<p>“Now walk over the bridge, Mr. Coal and Miss
-Bean,” called the straw.</p>
-
-<p>The coal hastened on to the straw bridge
-while the bean watched in wonder. All went
-well until the middle of the stream was reached,
-when the bridge bent so low under the weight
-of the coal and the waters thundered so loudly
-that the coal stopped in fright.</p>
-
-<p>The coal stood still for only a moment. But,
-alas, that was a moment too long.</p>
-
-<p>The dry straw smoked, burst into a tiny flame,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_143"></a>[143]</span>
-and broke in two. Down fell the coal into the
-water below and was instantly drowned. The
-burning straw bridge also fell into the water,
-which put out the flames, and the two pieces of
-straw went floating away down stream.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="illus112" style="max-width: 31.25em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus112.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>All this the little bean saw, watching safely
-from the bank. And she thought it the funniest
-thing that ever happened. So she laughed and
-she laughed—until she burst!</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_144"></a>[144]</span></p>
-
-<p>This would have been the end of little Miss
-Bean, had not a tailor passed that way just then.
-He was sorry for the poor bean, so he picked up
-the two parts tenderly, and quickly sewed them
-together. But the thread that he used was black.
-And ever since that time some beans have a black
-seam around them.</p>

-
-<p>One day Mr. Leghorn, the rooster, and Mrs.
-Leghorn, the hen, were out walking. They came
-to a wide, deep brook. Mrs. Leghorn, who was
-light and quick, flew safely across; but Mr. Leghorn,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_152"></a>[152]</span>
-who was
-heavy and slow,
-fell, splash! into
-the water.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp65" id="illus118" style="max-width: 21.875em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus118.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>Mrs. Leghorn
-was sure Mr. Leghorn
-was drowned.
-So, without turning
-to see, she flew
-screaming and
-cackling toward
-the farmyard.</p>
-
-<p>“What does ail you, Mrs. Leghorn? Why are
-you screaming and cackling so loudly?” asked
-the Wind-Mill as Mrs. Leghorn flew past.</p>
-
-<p>“Mr. Leghorn has fallen into the brook and is
-drowned. That’s why I am screaming and cackling
-so loudly,” replied Mrs. Leghorn.</p>
-
-<p>“What a pity! I’ll swing my arms and creak.
-That’s the best I can do for poor Mr. Leghorn.”<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_153"></a>[153]</span>
-And the Wind-Mill
-fell to swinging
-his arms and
-creaking with all
-his might.</p>

-</div>
-
-<p>When the Big
-Barn Door heard
-the Wind-Mill
-creaking and saw him swinging his long arms,
-he called out, “What ails you, Wind-Mill? Why
-do you swing your arms and creak so?”</p>
-
-<p>“Why, Mr. Leghorn has fallen into the brook
-and is drowned, and Mrs. Leghorn is screaming
-and cackling. That’s why I swing my arms and
-creak,” answered the Wind-Mill.</p>
-
-<p>“Poor Mr. Leghorn, poor Mrs. Leghorn!” said
-the Big Barn Door. “I’ll slam and bang. That’s
-the best I can do.” And the Big Barn Door
-fell to slamming and banging with all his
-might.</p>

-
-<p>The Old Red Ox heard the Big Barn Door
-slamming and banging, and cried out, “O, Big
-Barn Door, why are you slamming and banging
-so?”</p>
-
-<p>“Reason enough,” answered the Big Barn Door.
-“Mr. Leghorn has fallen into the brook and is
-drowned; Mrs. Leghorn is screaming and cackling;
-and Wind-Mill is swinging his arms and creaking.
-That’s why I am slamming and banging so.”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_155"></a>[155]</span></p>
-
-<p>“How sorry I am,” said the Old Red Ox. “I’ll
-paw the ground and bellow. What else can I
-do?” And he fell to pawing and bellowing with
-all his might.</p>
-
-<p>“What is the matter, Old Red Ox?” asked the
-Watch Dog. “Why are you pawing and bellowing
-so?”</p>
-
-<p>“Matter enough,” answered the Old Red Ox.
-“Mr. Leghorn has fallen into the brook and is
-drowned; Mrs. Leghorn is screaming and cackling;
-Wind-Mill is swinging his arms and creaking;
-and Big Barn Door is slamming and banging.
-That’s why I am pawing and bellowing so.”</p>
-
-<p>“O dear me,” said the Watch Dog. “I’ll bark
-and whine. That’s all I can do.” And he fell to
-barking and whining with all his might.</p>
-
-<p>The Old Gray Horse heard the Watch Dog barking
-and whining, and said, “What is the matter
-with you, Watch Dog? Why do you bark and
-whine so?”</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_156"></a>[156]</span></p>
-
-<p>“Wouldn’t you bark and whine if you could?”
-answered the Watch Dog. “Mr. Leghorn has
-fallen into the brook and is drowned; Mrs.
-Leghorn is screaming and cackling; Wind-Mill
-is swinging his arms and creaking; the Big Barn
-Door is slamming and banging; and the Old Red
-Ox is pawing and bellowing. That’s why I am
-barking and whining.”</p>
-
-<p>“The poor things!” said Old Gray Horse. “I’ll
-prance and neigh. What more can I do?” And he
-fell to prancing and neighing with all his might.</p>
-
-<p>The Weather-Vane looked
-down from his high perch
-and saw the Old Gray
-Horse prancing and neighing.
-“What’s the trouble,
-Old Gray Horse?” he
-called out. “Why are
-you prancing and neighing
-so?”</p>

-
-<p>“Trouble indeed,” answered the Old Gray
-Horse. “Mr. Leghorn has fallen into the brook and

-is screaming and

-is swinging his arms

-
-<p>“O dear, O dear,” said the Weather-Vane, “what

-with all his might.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_158"></a>[158]</span></p>
-
-<p>Pussy Cat looked up and saw Weather-Vane
-whirling and pointing. “O, Weather-Vane,” she
-cried out. “Why do you whirl and point so?”</p>
-
-<p>“Because I can do nothing else,” answered the
-Weather-Vane. “Mr. Leghorn has fallen into the
-brook and is drowned; Mrs. Leghorn is screaming
-and cackling; Wind-Mill is swinging his arms and

-<p>Mr. and Mrs. Leghorn often went nutting. Mr.
-Leghorn was very polite and kind to Mrs. Leghorn.
-He ran about searching everywhere for
-nuts. When he found one he would call to Mrs.
-Leghorn, who would hasten to him. Then he
-would pick up the nut, roll it over and over, lay
-it down, and pick it up again a dozen times, all
-the time telling Mrs. Leghorn what a very nice
-nut that was, what a good hen she was, and how
-smart he was to find nuts for her. At last he
-would drop the nut before Mrs. Leghorn, who
-would peck it once or twice to make sure that all<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_161"></a>[161]</span>
-Mr. Leghorn had said of it was true, and then
-swallow it whole, without once offering to share it
-with Mr. Leghorn.</p>
-
-<p>One day Mr. Leghorn found a very large nut,
-the largest nut he had ever seen. How proudly
-he called to Mrs. Leghorn! It took him a long
-time to tell all about that big nut and how he
-had found it, to praise Mrs. Leghorn’s goodness,
-and to brag about his own smartness. But
-finally he finished and turned the nut over to Mrs.
-Leghorn. She seized it greedily and was about
-to swallow it, but—it
-wouldn’t go
-down! She tried
-again and again, she
-stretched her beak
-wider and wider, but
-it was no use. The
-nut was too large.</p>

-
-<p>Mr. Leghorn, who had been watching Mrs.<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_162"></a>[162]</span>
-Leghorn from a
-little distance,
-became alarmed.</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp75" id="illus125" style="max-width: 25em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus125.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>“O, my poor
-Mrs. Leghorn,”
-he cried, “what
-shall I do? You
-can’t eat that
-nut; you’ll surely
-starve. What
-shall I do?”</p>
-
-<p>“Run and ask Mr. Wise Owl,” said Mrs. Leghorn.
-“He can tell us what to do.”</p>
-
-<p>So away ran Mr. Leghorn to the Wise Owl,
-screaming with all his might.</p>
-
-<p>“O, Mr. Wise Owl,” he cried, “my poor Mrs.
-Leghorn is starving. She can’t swallow the big
-nut. What shall I do?”</p>
-
-<p>“Who, who, who?” hooted the Wise Owl,
-blinking his great round eyes.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_163"></a>[163]</span></p>
-
-<p>“Mrs. Leghorn, my Mrs. Leghorn, my own dear
-Mrs. Leghorn,” fairly shrieked Mr. Cock. “She
-can’t swallow the big nut. She will starve. Can
-you tell me what to do?”</p>

-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus126.jpg" alt="" />

-
-<p>Mr. Wise Owl stared straight ahead a moment—it
-seemed an age
-to Mr. Leghorn—then
-answered
-slowly, “Yes, Mr.
-Leghorn, I can
-tell you what to
-do. But you
-must first bring
-me a mouse.”</p>
-
-<p>Away rushed
-Mr. Leghorn
-to Pussy Cat.
-“My good Miss

-cried, “dear Mrs.<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_164"></a>[164]</span>
-Leghorn is starving. Will you please catch me a

-
-<p>“Yes, Mr. Leghorn,” answered Pussy Cat, “I

-me a saucer of milk.”</p>
-
-<p>Off flew Mr. Leghorn to Mrs. Mooly Cow.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_165"></a>[165]</span></p>
-
-<p>“Dear, kind Mrs.
-Mooly Cow,” he
-said, “poor Mrs.

-Will you
-please give me a

-I want it to take

-
-<p>“Yes, Mr. Leghorn,” answered Mrs. Mooly
-Cow, “I will give you a saucer of milk, but you
-must first bring me a bundle of corn.”</p>
-
-<p>Away sped Mr. Leghorn to the Farmer.</p>
-
-<p>“O, Mr. Farmer,” said Mr. Leghorn, “Mrs. Leghorn<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_166"></a>[166]</span>
-is starving.
-Please will you be
-so kind as to cut
-me a bundle of
-corn? I want it
-to take to Mrs.
-Mooly Cow, who
-is going to give

-<p>“Yes, indeed, Mr. Leghorn,” said the Farmer,
-“I will cut you a bundle of corn, but you must
-first bring me a new coat.”</p>
-
-<p>Off hastened Mr. Leghorn to the Tailor.</p>
-
-<p>“O, Mr. Tailor,” cried Mr. Leghorn, “Mrs. Leghorn
-is starving. Won’t you please give me a

-
-<p>“Yes, Mr. Leghorn,” answered Mr. Tailor, “I

-you must first bring me a pound of wool.”</p>
-
-<p>Away hurried Mr. Leghorn to Mrs. Sheep.</p>

-a pound of wool.
-I want it to take
-to Mr. Tailor, who is

-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus131.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>“To be sure, Mr. Leghorn,” said Mrs. Sheep,
-“I will give you a pound of wool, but you must
-first bring me a bunch of clover.”</p>
-
-<p>Away ran Mr. Leghorn to the Farmer’s Wife.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_169"></a>[169]</span></p>
-
-<p>“O, good, kind Farmer’s Wife,” cried Mr. Leghorn,
-“Mrs. Leghorn is starving. Won’t you,
-please, pull me a bunch of clover? I want it to
-take to Mrs. Sheep, who is going to give me a
-pound of wool for Mr. Tailor, who is going to give
-me a new coat for Mr. Farmer, who is going to
-cut me a bundle of corn for Mrs. Mooly Cow, who
-is going to give me a saucer of milk for Miss

-for Mr. Wise Owl, who is going to tell me what
-to do.”</p>
-
-<p>“Yes, yes,” answered the kind Farmer’s Wife,
-“I will gladly pull you a bunch of clover, but you
-must first bring me a dozen eggs.”</p>
-
-<p>Mr. Leghorn fairly flew back to Mrs. Leghorn,
-who was still trying vainly to swallow the large
-nut. He seemed to forget all his politeness.</p>
-
-<p>“Where’s your nest, Mrs. Leghorn, where’s
-your nest? Tell me this instant!” he shrieked.</p>
-
-<p>Mrs. Leghorn had never told any one where her<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_170"></a>[170]</span>
-nest was. That was her
-secret; and she would
-not have told her secret
-now—not even to keep
-herself from starving—had
-she not been so frightened at Mr. Leghorn,
-who stood glaring at her fiercely. She
-thought he had gone mad and would do her harm.
-So she answered faintly,</p>
-
-<p>“Under the corner of the barn.”</p>
-
-<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="illus132" style="max-width: 12.5em;">
-  <img class="w100" src="images/illus132.jpg" alt="" />
-</div>
-
-<p>Away to the corner of the barn rushed Mr.
-Leghorn, where he found Mrs. Leghorn’s nest full
-of eggs. He took a dozen in a basket and hurried
-off to the Farmer’s Wife, who pulled him a bunch
-of clover, which he carried to Mrs. Sheep, who
-gave him a pound of wool, which he took to Mr.
-Tailor, who gave him a new coat, which he
-brought to Mr. Farmer, who cut him a bundle of
-corn, which he carried to Mrs. Mooly Cow, who
-gave him a saucer of milk, which he took to Miss<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_171"></a>[171]</span>
-Pussy Cat, who caught him a mouse, which he
-carried to Mr. Wise Owl.</p>
-
-<p>“There, Mr. Wise Owl,” cried Mr. Leghorn, quite
-out of breath, “there’s a nice fat mouse. Now tell
-me what I shall do for poor Mrs. Leghorn, who is
-starving because she can’t swallow the big nut.”</p>
-
-<p>“Who, who, who?” cried Mr. Wise Owl, staring
-sleepily at the fat mouse.</p>
-
-<p>“Mrs. Leghorn, she is starving!” screamed Mr.
-Leghorn, now quite angry. “She can’t swallow the
-big nut. You said
-you would tell
-me what to do.”</p>

-<p>“Indeed it is,” answered Mrs. Leghorn. “Could
-you believe we had come so far!”</p>
-
-<p>Splash!... <i>Splash!</i></p>
-
-<p>“What was that?” cried Mrs. Leghorn.</p>
-
-<p>“What was that?” cried Mr. Leghorn.</p>
-
-<p>“Help me out! Help me out!” came a deep
-voice from the pond.</p>
-
-<p>“Me, too! Me, too!” came a little, peeping
-voice from the same place.</p>
-
-<p>“Why, that’s our good master and his little
-boy,” cried Mr. and Mrs. Leghorn together.</p>

-
-<p>“Help me out!
-Help me out! Me,
-too! Me, too!” came
-again from the pond.</p>
-
-<p>“Yes, good Master, yes,” screamed Mr. Leghorn,
-“we’ll help you. But what shall we do?”</p>
-
-<p>“Bring a rope! A rope!” came the answer.</p>
-
-<p>“A rope, a rope!” cried Mr. Leghorn. “O,
-where shall we find one?”</p>
-
-<p>“Just beyond! Just beyond!”</p>
-
-<p>Mr. Leghorn ran wildly along the bank with
-Mrs. Leghorn following close on his heels. They
-looked to the right, and they looked to the left;
-they looked up, and they looked down; but no
-rope could they see.</p>
-
-<p>“Hurry up! Hurry up!” came from the
-water.</p>
-
-<p>“O dear, O dear!” cried Mrs. Leghorn.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_175"></a>[175]</span></p>
-
-<p>“O, where is that rope?” cried Mr. Leghorn.</p>
-
-<p>“Follow your nose! Follow your nose!” came
-the voice.</p>
-
-<p>At that, Mr. Leghorn flew along faster than
-ever. Mrs. Leghorn could hardly keep in sight
-of him. But no rope could they find.</p>
-
-<p>“Hurry up! Hurry up!” came from the pond
-and urged them on, whenever they began to
-slacken their pace.</p>
-
-<p>“Going down! Going down!” came the deep
-voice.</p>
-
-<p>“Me, too! Me, too!” came the peeping voice.</p>
-
-<p>“O, they are drowning, they are drowning!”
-screamed Mr. and Mrs. Leghorn.</p>
-
-<p>“Let ’em drown! Let ’em drown!” came the
-voice.</p>
-
-<p>“What!” cried Mr. Leghorn.</p>
-
-<p>“What!” cried Mrs. Leghorn.</p>
-
-<p>“Better go home! Better go home!” called the
-deep voice.</p>
-
-<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_176"></a>[176]</span></p>
-
-<p>Mr. and Mrs. Leghorn stood staring at each
-other. They could scarcely believe their ears.</p>
-
-<p>“Go to roost! Go to roost!” came the voice.</p>
-
-<p>Mr. and Mrs. Leghorn began to look silly. The
-sun had set and it was growing dark. They
-turned about and started off homeward.</p>
-
-<p>“You’re fooled! You’re fooled!” sounded after
-them as they left the banks of the pond.</p>
-
-<p>“He told the truth that time, even if he is
-only a frog,” said Mrs. Leghorn.</p>

-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope

-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg&#8482;
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg&#8482; License when
-you share it without charge with others.

-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
