THE OLD MAN'S BAG.
CHAPTER I.
The old man lived in a wood. He had a wife and a bag. The bag was quite a large bag. One day the old man went out for a walk. He took the bag with him. By and by he saw a hen in a field. Now when you see a hen in a field you say Chuck, chuck! The old man said Chuck, chuck! And the hen came to him. So that he caught her by the neck and put her in his bag. She made a great to-do, but he put her in.
