Text Appearing Before Image:
THE CAT IN THE SNOW PUSSY, you lift your paws so high,And look down on them so ruefully,To your neck almost you sink in the snow.Its cold, is it not, down there to go?Would not your walking be better doneIf a pair of good stout boots youd on ? She didnt wear boots, our good little cat,But she marched on bravely, in spite of that.Through the snow she whiskd at the barn-door in;Where she shook, and she lickd her paws quite clean,And she caught no cold, but sprang merrily To the highest beam of the old root-tree. 54 •/.-•>•; A si -v. •- -• r - • • , :• w^

Cj> .. CHICKENS. SAY, little Chickens, why run ye Thus to your mother, in noisy glee ? Some good treasure now hath she found, Some little worm that crawld on the ground; Making her now so eagerly call, That you may come and partake of it, all! The good old hen, she was glad indeed,To see all her children around her feed ;With joy she lookd on the merry train,And sought to content them, with might and main;Not one piece for herself took she,Till all had been cared for, equally. 55
