“Tick, tock, tick, tock,
They’re very sly, very sly,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
They may return by and by.”
“A whole row of snow-men”
The Ink-Bottle Mamma pretended that she did not hear the clock’s song, and she said, “Hurry, hurry into your caps and mittens and I will tell you how to make a snow-man!”
Then the twenty-five Ink-Bottle Babies put on their caps and mittens, and went out doors.
Mamma called to them to roll the snow over and over. Each Baby rolled a snow-man.
