Little Miss Brag said, “Look at her dress,” and Thoughtless Tom said, “Look at her shoes.”

They made so much fun of her that it made Little Rag-Tag very unhappy.

I don’t know what she would have done but Little Miss Shy came and hugged her and showed her where to sit, and made her feel at home. She even loaned her a new blue pencil.

Little Rag-Tag made the blue pencil spell;

Little Rag-Tag did her numbers well.

She forgot her torn dress and old shoes, but at recess

Some thoughtless children made her cry,

They pointed her out as she passed by.

Little Miss Shy seemed to understand,

She walked beside her, and took her hand.
