WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY
When I was a little boy, I lived by myself, And all the bread and cheese I got I put upon a shelf; The rats and the mice, they made such a strife, I was forced to go to London to buy me a wife.
The streets were so broad, and the lanes were so narrow, I was forced to bring my wife home in a wheelbarrow; The wheelbarrow broke, and my wife had a fall, And down came the wheelbarrow, wife, and all.
CHINESE MOTHER-GOOSE RHYMES
BY PROF ISAAC TAYLOR HEADLAND
LITTLE FAT BOY
What a bonny little fellow is this fat boy of mine!
He makes people die of joy!
What a fine little fellow is this fat boy of mine!
Now whose is this loving little boy?

Do you want to buy a beauty?
Do you want to buy a beauty?
If you buy him he will watch your house, And do it as his duty.
And no matter as to servants, You may have them or may not, But you'll never need to lock your door, Or give your house a thought.
[Ill.u.s.tration: A FINGER TEST.]
A FINGER TEST
You strike three times on the top, you see, And strike three times on the bottom for me, Then top and bottom you strike very fast, And open a door in the middle at last.
[Ill.u.s.tration: "OUR BABY," IN CHINESE CHARACTERS.]
OUR BABY
Mrs. Chang, Mrs. Lee, Mama has a small babee; Stands up firm, Sits up straight, Won't eat milk, But lives on cake.
[Ill.u.s.tration: OUR BABY.]

THE LITTLE GOLDEN SISTER
My little golden sister Rides a golden horse slow, And we'll use a golden whip If the horse doesn't go.
A little gold fish In a gold bowl we see, And a gold-colored bird On a gold-blossomed tree.
A gold-plated G.o.d In a gold temple stands, With a gold-plated baby In his gold-plated hands.
TEN FINGERS
(_A Chinese finger-play_)
Three horses are drinking, Three horses are feeding, The two men are fighting, The old woman pleading, The baby is crying, But no one is heeding.
[Ill.u.s.tration: TEN FINGERS.]
[Ill.u.s.tration: "TEN FINGERS," IN CHINESE CHARACTERS.]
A RIDDLE
A plum blossom foot, And a pudding face sweet; He's taller when he's sitting Than when standing on his feet.
