Away in our little sleigh we go;
Heigho! hear the merry winds blow;
Away, away, away we go!”
Pretty soon Molly and Polly went to sleep.
When they woke up they found themselves in the cutest little house in the world. They were in the house of the two little dwarfs!
The little dwarfs capered and danced about them and said, “You are the cutest Babies in the world. Come and see grandpa!”
They went into the next room and there sat a very old dwarf. He stared at the Babies and said,
“I am two thousand years old. Pray tell, how old are you?”
“Say you are two hundred,” said the first little dwarf, stamping his foot at grandpa.
Grandpa shook his head and said, “I have always been two thousand years old as long as I can remember.”
