LITTLE BOY BLUE
"Oh, Ned," said Rose one day, "what do you think I have? It is a new story book.
Father gave it to me this morning. I have been reading in it."
"It is a pretty book," said Ned. "Are there any good stories in it?"
"Oh, yes. One story is about a little boy who went to sleep in the meadow.
I don't know what his name was, but they called him Little Boy Blue.
He took care of the sheep and the cows. He had a horn to blow.
The sheep and the cows would come when they heard the horn."
"Here is the story, now. And here is the picture of Little Boy Blue.
"Little Boy Blue, Come, blow your horn! The sheep are in the meadow, The cows are in the corn. Where, where can the little boy be? Oh, here he is, sleeping, don't you see?"
