Then she put it on the table in front of Jack.
He stood up and said:—
"Little Jack Horner
Stood near a corner
Cutting his birthday pie.
He put in his thumb
And pulled out a plum,
And said, 'What a big boy am I!'"
How the children laughed!
Jack had cut the paper crust of his birthday pie.
Then he had put in his hand and pulled out something.
It was surely too big for a real plum.
"For Boy Blue," said Jack, giving him the package.
Boy Blue took off the white paper and there was a tiny horn, tied with a blue ribbon.
