MERRIMEG AND THE CHIMNEY IMPS
ONCE upon a time there was a little girl. Her name was Merrimeg.
Sometimes she was good, and sometimes she was naughty. But she was always merry.
One morning her mother gave her a little broom and told her to sweep the kitchen floor and her mother said, “Now, Merrimeg, be sure to sweep all the dust neatly into the dustpan, and carry it out to the cabbage garden. Will you do that?”
“Yes, mother,” said Merrimeg.
