Oh, what a good time they had! The grapes were ripe, the persimmons were sweet as sugar, the chestnuts dropped from the open burrs, and up in a tree, where they all might see, sat the little gray squirrel!
[THE ROLL OF BREAD]
O
Once upon a time a little boy named Ted was very hungry.
"I wish I had something to eat," he said;
And his mother gave him a roll of bread.
She had bought the roll that very morning from the busy baker who kept a shop at the corner.
The baker had flour so fine and so white;
Shakity shake, he sifted it light,
To make the roll of nice fresh bread
That Mother gave to little boy Ted.
