Story of Sally Sulkey.
Sally was a little girl of whom her parents were too fond, and even her nurse, when she was in arms, let her have all she cried for, and so she cried for almost every thing; thus she was early spoiled, chiefly because she was pretty.
As she grew up she proved more and more obstinate, she behaved sullen, and would pout for hours, nay, sometimes for a whole day, about some trifle, while not any body could tell what was the matter. In short, she grew so very naughty, that her parents were obliged often to correct her severely. She was only more sullen for it. At last she was so wicked to run away from her father and mother; but in going through a meadow, she was pursued by a mischievous bull, and though she escaped from him, and got home again, yet she was so much frightened, that she was subject to fits ever after.
