Whenever they fail,—this is no tale,

As you can easily guess,—

They twist the failure round about,

They twist and turn it inside out;

Then drop it down a big, black hole,

Discovered in back of the North Pole,—

And up it jumps—Success!”

“My, I wish my failures would do that! Maybe they will,” mused Mary Frances, finishing the row of stitching very carefully. “Oh, there comes Grandma up the street!”

“Try! Try again!”
