"
The seven little kids ran off to the brook and soon came back with seven
large stones.
They put these stones inside the wicked old wolf.
[Illustration]
The old goat sewed up the wolf's side so gently and quietly that he did
not wake up nor move.
When at last the wicked wolf did wake up, the great stones inside him
made him feel very heavy.
He was thirsty, too, so he walked down to the brook to drink.
The stones were so heavy that they tipped him over the edge of the bank
into the deep water, and he was drowned.
WILLIAM AND JACOB GRIMM
THEY DIDN'T THINK
danger folks seized
Once a trap was baited
With a piece of cheese;
It tickled so a little mouse,
It almost made him sneeze.
An old rat said, "There's danger,
Be careful where you go!"
"Nonsense!" said the other,
"I don't think you know!"
So he walked in boldly--
Nobody in sight--
First he took a nibble,
Then he took a bite;
Close the trap together
Snapped as quick as wink,
Catching mousey fast there,
'Cause he didn't think.
Once there was a robin,
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to go inside
And hop upon the floor.
"No, no," said the mother,
"You must stay with me;
Little birds are safest
Sitting in a tree.
