A Kindergarten Story Book Part 6

"Gobble, gobble, gobble!" "c.o.c.k-a-doodle-doo!"

"Cut-cut-cut-cut-ka-dat-cut!" cried the turkey, the rooster, and the hen all together, "we shall roost high up on the mantelshelf."

"Baa!" said the goat, "I shall sleep on the front doorstone and keep guard."

"Maa, maa! I shall sleep just inside the front door and help to keep guard," said the sheep.

"Moo, moo, moo!" called the bull, "the wood shed is the place for me."

"Meow, meow, meow!" cried the cat, "I do not care about sleeping in the night. I shall keep watch that no harm comes nigh."

They had a good night's rest. When morning came and Billy Bobtail saw what a cozy house it was and that there was a fine garden too, he said, "This is my fortune. I'm not going any farther to seek it!"

So Billy Bobtail and his friends lived safely in the little house in the clearing for many years, and were very, very happy.

KID WOULD NOT GO.

One day as I was going across London Bridge I found a penny and bought a kid. Kid would not go.

"See, by the moonlight, it is almost midnight.

Time kid and I were home an hour and a half ago."

I went along a little farther and met a staff.

"Staff, staff, beat kid!

Kid will not go.

See, by the moonlight, it is almost midnight.

Time kid and I were home an hour and a half ago."

But the staff would not.

I went along a little way farther and met a hatchet.

"Hatchet, hatchet, hack staff!

Staff will not beat kid.

Kid will not go.

See, by the moonlight, it is almost midnight.

Time kid and I were home an hour and a half ago."

But the hatchet would not.

I went along a little way farther and met some fire.

"Fire, fire, burn hatchet!

Hatchet will not hack staff.

Staff will not beat kid.

Kid will not go.

See, by the moonlight, it is almost midnight.

"Rope, rope, hang ox!

Rope will not hang ox.

Ox will not drink water.
