Bobby Was Sitting on the Doorstep Crying When——
“I love you so much I am growing bold,
Little Boy, Little Boy are you five years old?”
Bobby Bright Eyes answered:
“I am glad to know you are still alive,
To-day I am really quarter of five!”
The Birthday Fairy knew then that Bobby Bright Eyes was nearly five years old, so she kissed him on both cheeks and followed him about all day singing:
“Your tasks all wait, so run on after
I’ll follow you with mirth and laughter.”
Bobby had such bright eyes he was always seeing something to be done, without being told. So he ran on out to the barn and gave Pussy Whiskers, the Cat, a drink of milk.
