class="i0">        They built huge castles up with sand,
And dug around deep moats,
Which they filled with pails of water,
Then sailed their tiny boats.

But the crabs they liked the least of all
The fishes in the sea;
For they pinched whenever they got a chance,—
So the children let them be.

        One day they had a splendid treat:
What it was you’d like to know;
So look below at the picture,—
For that, I think, will show.

They also went to a circus,
And had a sail on the sea,
And very often were allowed
To ask their friends to tea.

                                      And many other things they did,
Which I have not time to tell;
Perhaps I will another day,
So now I’ll say, “Farewell.”
