“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.
