Then the magic spoon came in and beat him, and the magic pitcher stood in front of him and poured water on him. Then the magic chair came up behind him and he fell right into it. The chair rocked him out of the window into the deep sea, and he never troubled the princess any more.
Then the chair came back and said, “Get in, every one of you, and I will give you a ride.”
Then they all got in, the magic pitcher and spoon, too, and they rode away, away, away, to the palace where the princess lived. They let the princess out; and then they rode to the home of the Ink-Bottle Babies, and let all the Babies out. The magic chair then rocked away, taking the magic spoon and pitcher with it.
CHAPTER X
VACATION TIME
June’s a name we like to hear;
Glad vacation’s drawing near;
Good-bye, good-bye, lesson books;
Welcome fields and merry brooks;
All our lessons now are over;
