class="hang1">HIS CLERKS
A SOLEMN LOOK WAS IN HIS FACE
AUNT MELISSY HAD ARRANGED A BUNDLE FOR UNCLE SILAS, AND SHE HAD FIXED UP THE HIRED MAN TOO
DIDN'T LOOK AS IF SHE BELONGED TO THE REST OF OUR CROWD
THE BALLOON WENT OVER THE WIDE BLUE WATER JUST AFTER IT GOT OUR FAMILY
MR. TURTLE SAID THAT WHAT MR. 'POSSUM HAD TOLD THEM WAS TRUE
ONE DAY MR. CROW FOUND HE WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL OF EVERYTHING
THEN MR. 'COON SLAMMED HIS DOOR
MR. 'POSSUM SAID NOT TO MOVE, THAT HE WOULD GO AFTER A PIECE OF WOOD
HE WOULD SMOKE IN THE SUN WHEN THE MORNINGS WERE FAIR
WITH A LOOK AND A SIGH THEY WOULD STAND AND BEHOLD
THE TASTIEST PASTRY THAT EVER WAS KNOWN
THEN TO STIR AND TO BAKE HE BEGAN RIGHT AWAY
THE GREEDY OLD RAVEN, BUT GREEDY NO MORE
LOOKED STRAIGHT AT MR. 'POSSUM AND SAID, "WHAT WAS THAT YOU WERE CHEWING JUST NOW?"
THEY WENT ALONG, SAYING WHAT A NICE MAN THEY THOUGHT MR. BEAR WAS
MR. BEAR MUST HAVE BEEN VERY TIRED AND GONE TO SLEEP RIGHT WHERE HE WAS
MR. 'COON SCRATCHED HIS BACK AGAINST A LITTLE BUSH
MR. RABBIT THANKED HIM FROM ACROSS THE RIVER
ONE SAID IT WAS ONE WAY AND THE OTHER THE OTHER WAY
MR. CROW WAS ALMOST AFRAID TO BRING ON THE SALAD
JACK RABBIT CAPERED AND LAUGHED ALL THE WAY HOME
TOOK HER PARASOL AND HER RETICULE AND A CAN OF BERRIES, AND STARTED
AND HE MADE SOME STRIPES, TOO—MOSTLY ON TOP OF THE STOVE
LITTLE JACK KNEW PERFECTLY WELL THAT SHE WASN'T AT ALL PLEASED
PROMISED NEVER TO DISOBEY HIS MOTHER AGAIN
