Bobby and Betty with the workers

by Katharine Elizabeth Dopp

Once Bobby and Betty ran after the ice wagon.

Mother saw them and called them back.

“Don’t run after the ice wagon,” said Mother. “Play you have an ice wagon, Bobby. Hitch Queen to your cart.”

For study and play:

I was some ice,

So white and so nice,

But which nobody tasted;

And so it was wasted,
