Only Curly-Tail kept good natured.
He rocked gently to and fro on his wonderful Rocking Horse and said, “You make as much noise as Daddy Do-Little when he is lonesome.”
Mrs. Santa Claus said, “Who is Daddy Do-Little?”
Curly-Tail replied,
“He’s the laziest animal in the woods,
He always did little if he could.”
The Fourteen Little Darling Dogs said,
“If you could only hear him grumbling,
You would think ’twas thunder rumbling.”
