With a bamboo basket upon his arm,
With mutton bones was the basket filled,
From a sheep which his folks that day had killed.
A monkey came from a pile of stones
To steal that boy's fresh mutton bones,
But a big, spotted dog followed close at his heels,
To bite a bad monkey whenever he steals.
A half of a brick lay there on the road,
It upset the boy and he spilt out his load,
