“Boxed Cross-Patch on the right ear”
Then old Cross-Patch saw there was no way out of it, so he had to go and pile one brick on another, and if he did not work fast enough the spoon would slap him on the back.
The five and twenty dwarfs who had sent soot down the chimney came, and they were sorry for Cross-Patch, and went to work to help him rebuild the house.
The spoon danced about and rapped them all sharply every once in a while.
When the house was all done the spoon cried,
“Now, old Cross-Patch, step inside;
Clean the rug and fireside.”
