HOW THE CORN GREW
Little Me Too walked to the right, then to the left, along the sidewalk in front of the house.
As he walked he sang with all his might about the ocean, and the summer time, and any other pleasant thing that came into his head.

Then he began to sing the song of whatever it might be that was so small and yellow.

“I wonder what this is.
