The End

The Crocodile by Lewis Carroll. How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin! How neatly spread his claws, And welcomes little fishes in With gently smiling jaws!

The End

The Elf and the Doremouse by Oliver Herford. Under a toadstool crept a wee Elf, Out of the rain to shelter himself.

Under the toadstool, sound asleep, Sat a big Dormouse all in a heap.

Trembled the wee Elf, frightened and yet Fearing to fly away lest he get wet.

To the next shelter, maybe a mile! Suddenly the wee Elf smiled a wee smile.

Tugged till the toadstool toppled in two. Holding it over him, gaily he flew.

Soon he was safe home, dry as could be. Soon woke the Dormouse—’Good gracious me!

‘Where is my toadstool?’ loud he lamented. And that’s how umbrellas first were invented.
