4、 Farewell Look at the CastleOnce upon a time I promised to tell a little boy how Little Sir Cat caught the Knave of Hearts who had run away with the Queens tarts. Well, Sir! That Knave had run only about half way across the courtyard when Little Sir Cat pounced on him as if he were a mouse, and his
5、Highness, the Knave of Hearts, stopped right then and there, but he spilt the tarts all over the ground. Wasnt that a shame? This made the King dreadfully angry, and he beat the Knave full sore, as the rhyme goes in dear Old Mother Goose, and if you dont believe me, just get the book and see for you
6、rself. Now ask me a favor, and it shall be granted, said the Queen who had asked Little Sir Cat to come into the castle and sit on the throne by her side. Tell me where I may find my fortune, answered Little Sir Cat. Ah! cried the Queen, that is not so easy. For each of us must make his own fortune.
7、 But I will help you, and she called for her old seneschal. He will not find it on Tart Island, said the old retainer. Mayhap in Mother Goose Island he will find it. So pretty soon, not so very long, Little Sir Cat left the big castle, and by-and-by he came to an old willow tree by a pond. And who d
8、o you think he saw? Why, little Mrs. Oriole sitting close beside her nest that hung like a big white stocking from the branch. As soon as she saw Little Sir Cat she began to sing, and all her little birds peeped out of the nest, but they didnt say anything, for they had never met him before. Childre
9、n, this is Sir Cat. I knew him when he lived in a castle, said Mrs. Oriole. Well, after that, he went in to the farmyard, for it was noontime, and he was hungry, and knocked on the kitchen door. Just then the Cuckoo Clock in the kitchen sounded the hour of noon, and the farmers wife looked out of th
10、e window to see if her man was coming through the gate, when, of course, she spied Little Sir Cat. Dinner is ready. Come in, Kitten! So he stepped into the neat, clean kitchen, and as soon as the good woman had put on a clean apron, they sat down to supper. By-and-by the cuckoo came out of her littl
11、e clock and said: Time for kittens to be in bed, and the twinkle, twinkle star shone through the window, and sang a little lullaby: Sleep, little pussy cat, sleep.The little white clouds are like sheepThat play all the night while the moons shining bright.Sleep, little pussy cat, sleep.And in the ne
12、xt story you will find what Little Sir Cat did when he woke up in the morning.Little Stories of Famous Animals How a Dog Discovered a Hot SpringTradition reports that Charles IV. discovered the Carlsbad Spring, but after you have read this little history perhaps you will agree with me that if it had
13、nt been for his dog he never would have even seen the spring. It happened this way: More than four hundred years ago Charles IV. was hunting in the neighborhood. In the exciting chase and pursuit of a stag he suddenly lost all trace of it. As he paused, undecided which course to take, he heard the y
14、elping of one of his hounds, and following the sound, he found it lying scalded in the waters of the spring, which, as you know, is a stream of water probably escaping from a smoldering volcano way down deep in the earth. The faithful animal had followed the stags leap into the valley, and had misse
15、d a sure footing on the rocks near by. On the top of the hill, which is now called the Hirschensprung (stags leap), a cross has been erected, and a little lower down a lookout house has been built. Still farther down, on a high pointed rock, a citizen of Carlsbad has had erected an iron figure of a
16、chamois. After chance had made known the hot waters of the spring to Charles IV., he had a bath and a hunting lodge built there, which were called after him, Karlsbad. The real discoverer of the spring, the faithful hound, has no mention made of him by name or monument, although the crest of the hil
17、l is named for a stag and the spring after a king.TESSIE, TOTTIE AND TEDDY CHAPTER I Listen, whispered Tessie, Ive got a secret to tell you; snuggle up so nobodyll hear! Tottie squeezed up close to her little sister, and Teddy shoved himself along the piazza seat until all three were packed as tight
18、 as little sardines. What is it? asked Tottie. Hurry up and tell, whispered Teddy, hugging Tessies arm, while Tottie squeezed her hand with her little fat fingers. S-s-sh! replied Tessie, s-s-sh! Tessie! called mothers voice, Tessie, come here, I want you to run down to the grocer. Oh, dear! sighed
19、the three tiny Ts. Tessie jumped up quickly and ran inside the house, closely followed by Tottie and Teddy. You can wear your roller skates, said mother, and Teddy can put on his and go with you, if he wishes. In a few minutes the skates were strapped on each impatient little foot, and mothers darli
20、ng messengers were gliding down the front walk. Be very careful not to break the eggs, said mother, as she stood in the doorway watching them go out of the gate. Hold the bag tight and dont go fast on the way home.CHAPTER II Tessie and Teddy skated along smoothly on their errand for mother. The roll
21、er skates behaved very well, and did not try to race with each other, so that neither little messenger had a fall, or even a bump against anybody on the sidewalk who did not get out of the way in time. The fat grocer man said good morning very pleasantly, and gave them each a little animal cracker.
22、Tessie told him what she wanted, and while he was counting out the eggs and putting them in the bag, she stroked his big tiger cat, who lay half asleep on the top of the sugar barrel. Here you are, Miss, said the grocer man, handing the package to Tessie, and be careful, little man, he added, turnin
23、g to Teddy, that you dont run into sister and upset heryou wont have any eggs if you do! Of course not, replied Teddy, biting off the hind legs of his buffalo cracker. Ill take care, and both children wabbled over the floor and through the doorway out onto the sidewalk. Everything went along beautif
24、ully. Teddy kept well behind so that Tessie would have plenty of room, and the distance was half over, when something happened. About a block from the house, the sidewalk ran down a small hill. Although Tessie had time and again coasted down without the slightest trouble, today it seemed as if she w
