You’d like to hear about the bears—
Their bowls of porridge, beds and chairs?
Well, that you shall.... There! that tale’s done!
And now—you’d like another one?
To-morrow evening, Curly Head,
It’s “hass-pass seven!” Off to bed!
So each night another story:—
Wicked dwarfs and giants gory;
Dragons fierce and princes daring,
Forth to fame and fortune faring;
