She emptied out the old Waste Basket
Almost before it had time to ask it;
She tidies up the table too,
As you and I could also do,
And then she says, “I really must
Stop a while and dust and dust.
Polly Pick-It-Up has pluck,
So she deserves to have Good Luck.”
Polly Pick-It-Up was soon seated on the old horse’s back in front of Uncle Education and they went trotting, trotting along.
At this very minute in the reading of the story Aunt Etiquette sat still.
