I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day?
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Many years ago there lived a king named Midas.
King Midas had one little daughter, whose name was Marigold.
