Then the little dwarfs rushed at him from one side, and the Babies rushed at him from the other side, and the magic spoon began to beat everybody, and at last they all ran back to the home of the little dwarfs. Where the magic spoon went nobody knew.

Then the five and twenty little dwarfs cried,

“We will not cry, we will not sigh,

The magic spoon will soon pass by!”

Pretty soon the magic spoon came dancing along and said,

“I will go and hide upon your shelf,

If you’ll let me go and help myself!”

The dwarfs replied,

“Oh magic spoon, ’tis very clear

To every one, you’re welcome here.”
