CLEVER MR. ADJECTIVE
THERE was great excitement in the court the next day; and when every one was assembled, except Adjective, the Judge called out: “Bring the prisoner in;” and poor Adjective was led in between two Critics, with his hands tied behind him, and placed before the Judge.
Serjeant Parsing rose, and began to question him.
“Is your name Adjective?” he said. “It is,” answered Adjective.
“And you possess all the adjectives in Grammar-land?”
“I do.”
“What is an adjective?”
“A word used to qualify a noun.”
