  How good the dinner was that day! It makes folks hungry, thus to play. They ate their fill of bread and meat, And mother smiled to see them eat. Soon as the dinner-hour was done, Back to the garden did they run; And Helen bore, as swift she ran, Some pumpkin seeds in a small tin pan. Fred dug a hole that was nice and round, And Charlie planted them in the ground; And Towser gazed as though he wanted To eat the pie before ’twas planted! |
