"Now," said Bo-peep, "I will try first to pin a tail on the sheep."
So her mother tied a handkerchief over her eyes, turned her around three times, and said, "Go."
Bo-peep started off bravely, and pinned the tail to her mother's apron!
How the children laughed! and Bo-peep laughed too, when she saw what she had done.
Boy Blue was sure he could pin a tail on the sheep.
But he pinned it right on the corner of the table cloth.
Then it was Mary's turn. She shut her eyes tight and walked very straight.
She was going to pin the tail in just the right place.
All the children stood still and watched her cross the room.
She pinned on the tail, and how they all shouted!
