"I knew you were coming," said the little boy, "and so did Mother. The clock told us and I have on my new blouse."
[THE SAUCER PIE]
O
Once upon a time there was a saucer pie. A saucer pie is one that is baked in a saucer instead of a pan; and if you have never seen one, I hope you will before you are a hundred years old.
This pie was baked in a saucer that belonged to a little girl named Polly. Her grandmother had given her the saucer, and it was as blue as the sky.
When her mamma took the pie out of the oven, and put it on the table to cool, she said:—
"Here is a nice little, brown little pie,
Baked in a saucer as blue as the sky."
