As a dwarf who lives in the woods, heigho?
He may dance away by the light of the moon,
But happy is he with his magic spoon.”
Now the magic spoon was so upset to think the little dwarf could not keep still that he sprang down from the shelf and cried,
“You will not heed whate’er I say,
So, little dwarf, you’ll go away!”
Then he beat the little dwarf all the way to the palace of the Fairy Queen, where he became a servant and he never dared to return to his home.
The magic spoon went back to his place on the shelf.
For all I know he may be there yet!
“Didn’t any one ever see the magic spoon after that?” asked Polly.
