Humpty Dumpty said, “Let us tell one another fairy stories.”
Freddie began, “Once there was a princess. She had golden hair.”
“No, she had red hair,” said Humpty Dumpty.
“No, no,” said the twins, “we wish her to have golden hair.”
Then Humpty Dumpty said, “Red hair, red hair,” and he laughed so hard that he fell out of bed again.
The funny little Roly-Polys could not go on with the story because they could not agree about the color of the princess’s hair.
They all got up and tip-toed down-stairs.
They did not wish to waken Grandpa.
The twins started to get breakfast, and such a time as they had! First the fire would not burn, then the water would not boil.
They burned their fingers and they burned the toast.
