“Red, white and blue is your pin I see,
Why don’t you make wishes, one, two, three?”
Then the Ironing Board piped up,
“Red, white and blue for the Fourth of July
You can make wishes now if you try.”
The Iron acted in the strangest manner and began to run to and fro on the Ironing Board, saying,
“Fairies grant wishes by and by,
Hurrah, hurrah, for the Fourth of July.”
Little Stay-At-Home had never happened to see kitchen things act in such a comical manner.
