Text Appearing Before Image:
SPARROW IN THE SNOW. BOY. Bird, how the wintry wind doth blow: Art not frozen, in ice and snow ?SPARROW. I can be gay, een in winter-time, My feather coat guards me in evry clime : Cheerfully to and fro I fly : Dress as you will, you re not warmer than I. Then thought the boy, I should do so too,Cold winter should bring me but courage new ;I, like the sparrow, am warmly dressd,To run and to play, spite of cold, were best.So he cared not for frost and cold, so long As they left him healthy, and brave, and strong. 80

DOG AND RAVEN. KAVEN, you thief—here—stop, I say,Yon re taking my fine bit of meat away ! Pray, little Dog, just keep the peace,D ye know, I belong to the new police ?And, taking the booty from those who steal,As theyve dealt by others, by them I deal. What the raven said, was, I think, not true,When with the dogs dinner away he flew.But the dog didnt tell of him anywhere:The truth is, I think, he did not dare;Hed rather not tell them, on the whole, How he came by the meat the raven stole. 81 M
