“There!” said the Angel. “Did ever you see such a grand feast?”
“No, never we did!” said all the four children together.
“And there are some crumbs left over,” said the Angel. “Come, and we will give them to the brother birds!”
“But you didn’t have any!” said the child whose nursery it was.
“Oh, yes!” said the Angel. “I had it all!”
[THE OWL AND THE EEL AND
THE WARMING-PAN]
The owl and the eel and the warming-pan,
They went to call on the soap-fat man.
The soap-fat man he was not within:
He’d gone for a ride on his rolling-pin.
So they all came back by the way of the town,
And turned the meeting-house upside down.
