Sure enough, the first bell for school was ringing that very minute.
Teddie looked at Freddie and Freddie looked at Teddie.
Any one could have told they were twins, they looked so much alike.
Teddie said, “How can I go to school with a sore mouth?”
Freddie said, “My mouth is sore, too.”
Humpty Dumpty said, “I have a lame back because I fell down-stairs.”
Mama Roly-Poly looked over her spectacles and said, “If you are not able to go to school, I will put you all to bed!”
Then Teddie dried his eyes on the corner of his napkin, and Freddie said, “I feel much better.”
Humpty Dumpty said, “I can go to school if the twins will draw me in the cart.”
