THREE LITTLE FOLKS.
Three little folks at play are we, And we’re as happy as we can be, We’re dressed to receive our guests you see, And we’re waiting for them patiently. No. 1 is in white and her spots are pink ; No. 2 is in grey with stockings of ink ; No. 3is in blue. I’m the prettiest, I think.
In my language class in school one day. the sentence * He earns his livelihood “ by hook or by crook ” ’ occurred, and I asked the class what * by hook or by crook ’ meant, and only one boy raised his hand. ‘What does it mean'.'’ I asked of him. * Ob, catching fish or catching sheep, I’m sure !’
