The Table And The Chair

Said the Table to the Chair,

'You can hardly be aware,

'How I suffer from the heat,

'And from chilblains on my feet!

'If we took a little walk,

'We might have a little talk!

'Pray let us take the air!'

Said the Table to the Chair.

Said the Chair unto the Table,

'Now you know we are not able!

'How foolishly you talk,

'When you know we cannot walk!'

Said the Table, with a sigh,

'It can do no harm to try,

'I've as many legs as you,

'Why can't we walk on two?'

So they both went slowly down,

And walked about the town

With a cheerful bumpy sound,

As they toddled round and round.

And everybody cried,

As they hastened to their side,

'See! the Table and the Chair

'Have come out to take the air!'

But in going down an alley,

To a castle in a valley,

They completely lost their way,

And wandered all the day,

Till, to see them safely back,

They paid a Ducky-quack,

And a Beetle, and a Mouse,

Who took them to their house.

Then they whispered to each other,

'O delightful little brother!

'What a lovely walk we've taken!

'Let us dine on Beans and Bacon!'

So the Ducky, and the little

Browny-Mousy and the Beetle

Dined, and danced upon their heads

Till they toddled to their beds.

Edward Lear

Little White Lilly

Little White Lily

Sat by a stone,

Drooping and waiting

Till the sun shone.

Little White Lily

Sunshine has fed;

Little White Lily

Is lifting her head.

Little White Lily

Said: "It is good

Little White Lily's

Clothing and food."

Little White Lily

Dressed like a bride!

Shining with whiteness,

And crowned beside!

Little White Lily

Drooping with pain,

Waiting and waiting

For the wet rain.

Little White Lily

Holdeth her cup;

Rain is fast falling

And filling it up.

Little White Lily

Said: "Good again,

When I am thirsty

To have the nice rain.

Now I am stronger,

Now I am cool;

Heat cannot burn me,

My veins are so full."

Little White Lily

Smells very sweet;

On her head sunshine,

Rain at her feet.

Thanks to the sunshine,

Thanks to the rain,

Little White Lily

Is happy again.

Heidi

The letter had been given to Peter the previous evening; putting it in his lunch-

bag, the boy had forgotten it there till he opened the bag for his dinner. Heidi

immediately recognised Clara's handwriting, and bounding over to her

grandfather, exclaimed: "A letter has come from Clara. Wouldn't you like me to

read it to you, grandfather?"

Heidi immediately read to her two listeners, as follows:

Dear Heidi,

We are all packed up and shall travel in two or three days. Papa is leaving, too,

but not with us, for he has to go to Paris first. The dear doctor visits us now every

day, and as soon as he opens the door, he calls, 'Away to the Alp!' for he can

hardly wait for us to go. If you only knew how he enjoyed being with you all! He

came nearly every day this winter to tell us all about you and the grandfather and

the mountains and the flowers he saw. He said that it was so quiet in the pure,

delicious air, away from towns and streets, that everybody has to get well there.

He is much better himself since his visit, and seems younger and happier. Oh,

how I look forward to it all! The doctor's advice is, that I shall go to Ragatz first

for about six weeks, then I can go to live in the village, and from there I shall

come to see you every fine day.

Grandmama, who is coming with me, is looking forward to the trip too. But just

think, Miss Rottenmeier does not want to go. When grandmama urges her, she

always declines politely. I think Sebastian must have given her such a terrible

description of the high rocks and fearful abysses, that she is afraid. I think he told

her that it was not safe for anybody, and that only goats could climb such dreadful

heights. She used to be so eager to go to Switzerland, but now neither Tinette nor

she wants to take the risk. I can hardly wait to see you again!

Good-bye, dear Heidi, with much love from grandmama,

I am your true friend,

Clara.
