Page 19 - He followed her to school one day — That was against the rule. It made the children laugh and play To see a lamb at school.
Page 51 - Tis reported of him, And must be to his lasting disgrace, That he never was seen With hands at all clean, Nor yet ever clean was his face. His friends were much hurt To see so much dirt, And often they made him quite clean; But all was in vain, He got dirty again, And not at all fit to be seen.
