And, going to the apple trees,

He chops them to the grund.

The farmer called his serv-i-ents,

And ranged them in a row;

“Now, who has chopped my apple trees,

And killed them, root and bo’?”

The servants stand ama-zi-ed,

All drawn up in a line;

Then comes a running up to him,

His young and hopeful sci’n.
