Text Appearing Before Image:
CHICKEN. CHICKEN ! Chicken! silly child, stay,Whither art running so quickly away ?Always prying each corner through,Ever searching for something new;But when your mother is out of sight,Youll cry with terror, you foolish wight. The chicken into the garden ran, But to cry with terror it soon began ; The mother soon heard its plaintive cry, And sought for it long and anxiously ; Half dead with fear, it crept neath her wing, And thought, Neer again Ill do such a thing. 46 \ ^fe^i I • ^yyl^wJtfHO •
Text Appearing After Image:
LITTLE FISH. LITTLE Fish, little Fish, listen to me,Watch not the bait there so greedily;T will enter your neck with a cruel sting,T will tear you sorely, you foolish thing ;See you not there, on the bank, the man ?Little Fish, little Fish, flee while you can. Little Fish thought he knew better than we:He saw the bait, and nought else saw he;The boy on the bank, he said, (he knew best,)Was only sitting down there to rest.He gave one snap at the tempting bait, And then he struggled—but all too late. 47
