Then she took Molly and Polly by the hand and led them into a room full of toys.

The little old woman cried,

“See the toys, the many toys,

Lost by careless girls and boys!”

Molly said, “May I get on the rocking-horse?” And Polly said, “May I ride in that funny little carriage?”

The little old woman said in an old squeaky voice,

“No time to play, no time to play;

Call again another day!”

Then she showed them a room full of caps and coats and all kinds of clothing, and she said with a wave of her hand, “Careless children lost them all! Come now, help me count and sort out the clothes.”
