Text Appearing Before Image:
he quite forgot herdaughterly etiquette.Oh, what do I care! she said.If he only may stay, she plead,I will give him the half of my bowl of riceand all of my fish and bread! THE LITTLE BROTHER OF LOO-LEE LOO 147 Dear, dear! said the Prince Choo-Choo, Now here is a how-do-you-do!Is there nothing, 0 J asinine- Flower, instead?A parasol pink or bine?A beautiful big balloon?But she wept to the same old tnne,I d rather have little Fing-Wee, papa, than any-thing under the moon ! Then the prince he called for lights,And he called for the Book of Rites,And all of the classical literature that he lovedto read o nights ; A son, he thoughtfully said,To serve me with rice and bread;To burn the paper above my grave and honormy aged head !Oh, try me the tortoise signWith a tortoise of ancient line:If he turns his toes straight in as he goes,the boy is certainly mine ! Oho ! but the garden rangOn that wonderful night —ting, tang!When a banquet meet was served the elite ofthe city of proud Shi-Bang!

THE TORTOISE TEST. And he read till the dawn of dayIn his very remarkable way,From end to beginning, from bottom to top, asonly a Chinaman may. My father adopted a son,His father the same had done;Some thousands of years ago, it appears, thecustom was thus begun.He stopped for a pinch of snuff;His logic was sound, though tough ;You may rightfully follow what plan you please,if it s only antique enough ! And all who passed that wayMight read in letters gayAs long as your arm: The Prince Choo-Chooadopts a son to-day ! There was knocking of heads galore;There were trumpets and drums a score ;The gay pavilions were lit with millions of lampsfrom ceiling to floor.And oh, but the chop-sticks flewIn the palace of Prince Choo-Choo,And the gifts that were brought for the littleFing-Wee would fill me a chapter or two. 148 THE LITTLE BROTHER OF LOO-LEE LOO ■ft* ii^jg-^Ufg
