Text Appearing Before Image:
BOY AND DUCK. BOY. Now, good old Duck, just tell to me The number of this your family.DUCK. Ive not learnd to count, I grieve to say,But do not think you can take one away;I keep them carefully all, dear Boy,For each of them gives me the greatest joy. She calld them all, in a motherly tone,And round they came trooping, every one;She lookd, with a mothers joy and pride,On the little creatures that swam by her side;Away oer the pond she led her brood,And watching them long the young boy stood. 48

STORKS. JHILD. Now tell me, dear Storks, what do you intend,That towards the sunlight your way you wend ? PORKS. All around us is cold and drear, Therefore we hasten away from here. JHILD. Then fly away on your light wings, fly, But mind you come back, Storks, by and by. Few days had passd since the Storks had flown, Before the winter came driving on; He saw their nest, on the roof-tree old, And piled it with snow-feathers, white and cold ; And oh, t was a bleak and a cheerless nest: No stork there in comfort could take his rest. 49 H ^ m- 1ft1* \jp^j®- ,.--x^
