Tommy Tommy was sitting on the bench near the end of the lane. By his side was a basin tied up in a cotton handkerchief; in the buttonhole of his coat there was a sprig of sweet-william. The girls from the big house came and stood still in front of him, staring at him rudely, but he did not speak. “Tommy, are -you tired?” they asked. “Yes,” Tommy answered, crossly,” I’m...

The Children and the Garland “Tomorrow is May-day,” the children said; “the birds must call us very early, and we will go to the woods and make a garland.” And in the morning, long before the sun had looked over the tops of the houses into the village street, they were far away in the woods. “I will give them some roses as they come back,” the gardener said. “They shall...

The Kite IT was the most tiresome kite in the world, always wagging its tail, shaking its ears, breaking its string, sitting down on the tops of houses, getting stuck in trees, entangled in hedges, flopping down on ponds, or lying flat on the grass, and refusing to rise higher than a yard from the ground.

Seeking the Violets ALL the wood had been blue with violets, but now they were nearly gone. The birds sang louder and louder to keep them and to call them back, but soon there was not a violet left in all the wood from end to end.

The Proud Boy There was once a very proud boy. He always walked through the village with his eyes turned down and his hands in his pockets.

Over The Porridge They sat down to eat their porridge. The naughty little girl turned her back upon her sister, and put a large spoonful into her mouth. “Oh oh oh!” she cried, “I have burnt my tongue.” “Eat it slowly,” said the good little sister.
