  “SEVEN sheep were standing By the pasture wall. Tell me,” said the teacher, To her scholars small, “One poor sheep was frightened, Jumped and ran away. One from seven—how many Woolly sheep would stay?” Up went Kitty’s fingers— A farmer’s daughter she, Not so bright at figures As she ought to be. “Please, ma’am”—“Well, then, Kitty, Tell us, if you know.” “Please, if one jumped over All the rest would go.” double line SAID Willie: “The Man in the Moon In Mother Goose came down too soon, For I’ve read it over and over; But he’d done a sillier thing to-day, When Flossie and I went out to play And roll in the field of clover. For up in the sky, right overhead, When every star had gone to bed, And the sun was shining bright, We saw his moon, looking pale and thin, Because he’d forgotten to take it in, After hanging there all night!” —Selected. woman outdoors BURNS’S HIGHLAND MARY. double line outdoor scene with life of frog double line
