     ;I must go home now�察�it is late�察─�said the Moon。

     ;I will go with you�察�make a path� ─�said Little Jack Rollaround。 

     The kind Moon made a path up to the sky�察�and up sailed the little bed 

into the midst of the sky。 All the little bright Stars were there with their 

nice    little  lamps。   And     when    he   saw   them�察   �that  naughty     Little  Jack 

Rollaround   began   to   tease。   ;Out   of   the   way�察  �there�   �I   am   coming� ─  �he 

shouted�察�and sailed the trundle´bed boat straight at them。 He bumped the 

little Stars right and left�察�all over the sky�察�until every one of them put his 

little lamp out and left it dark。 

     ;Do not treat the little Stars so�察─�said the good Moon。 

     But Jack Rollaround only behaved the worse�此 �Get out of the way�察�old 

Moon� ─�he shouted�察 �I am coming� ─�

     And he steered the little trundle´bed boat straight into the old Moon's 

face�察�and bumped his nose� �

     This was too much for the good Moon�察�he put out his big light�察�all at 

once�察�and left the sky pitch´black。 

     ;Make a light�察�old Moon� �Make a light� ─�shouted the little boy。 But the 

Moon answered never a word�察�and Jack Rollaround could not see where to 

steer。 He went rolling criss´cross�察�up and down�察�all over the sky�察�knocking 

into the planets and stumbling into the clouds�察�till he did not know where 

he was。 

     Suddenly  he   saw   a   big   yellow   light   at   the   very   edge   of   the   sky。   He 

thought it was the Moon。 ;Look out�察�I am coming� ─�he cried�察�and steered 

for the light。 

     But it was not the kind old Moon at all�察�it was the great mother Sun�察�

just coming up out of her home in the sea�察�to begin her day's work。 

     ;Aha�察�youngster�察 �what   are you doing in my  sky�拭─  �she said。  And she 

picked Little Jack Rollaround up and threw him�察�trundle´bed boat and all�察�

into the middle of the sea� �

     And I suppose he is there yet�察�unless somebody picked him out again。 

       HOW      BROTHER         RABBIT       FOOLED       THE     WHALE        AND     THE 

ELEPHANT��1�А�

     ��1�А  �Adapted   from  two   tales   included   in   the   records   of   the   American 

Folk´Lore Society。 

       One day little Brother Rabbit was running along on the sand�察�lippety�察�



                                               35

lippety�察�when he saw the Whale and the Elephant talking together。 Little 

Brother Rabbit crouched down and listened to what they were saying。 This 

was what they were saying�此�

     ;You   are   the   biggest   thing   on   the   land�察  �Brother   Elephant�察─  �said   the 

Whale�察 �and I am the biggest thing in the sea�察�if we join together we can 

rule all the animals in the world�察�and have our way about everything。; 

     ;Very   good�察  �very   good�察─  �trumpeted   the   Elephant�察   �that   suits   me�察  �we 

will do it。; 

     Little Brother Rabbit snickered to himself。 ;They won't rule me�察─  �he 

said。 He ran away and got a very long�察�very strong rope�察�and he got his big 

drum�察�and hid the drum a long way off in the bushes。 Then he went along 

the beach till he came to the Whale。 

     ;Oh�察�please�察�dear�察�strong Mr。 Whale�察─�he said�察 �will you have the great 

kindness to do me a favor�拭�My cow is stuck in the mud�察�a quarter of a mile 

from here。 And I can't pull her out。 But you are so strong and so obliging�察�

that I venture to trust you will help me out。; 

     The Whale was so pleased with the compliment that he said�察 �Yes�察─�at 

once。 

     ;Then�察─�said the Rabbit�察 �I will tie this end of my long rope to you�察�and 

I will run away and tie the other end round my cow�察�and when I am ready I 

will beat my big drum。 When you hear that�察�pull very�察�very hard�察�for the 

cow is stuck very deep in the mud。; 

     ;Huh� ─  �grunted   the   Whale�察   �I'll   pull   her   out�察  �if   she   is   stuck   to   the 

horns。; 

     Little   Brother    Rabbit   tied   the   rope´end    to  the  whale�察  �and    ran  off�察�

lippety�察�lippety�察�till he came to the place where the Elephant was。 

     ;Oh�察�please�察�mighty and kindly Elephant�察─�he said�察�making a very low 

bow ;will you do me a favor�拭─�

     ;What is it�拭─�asked the Elephant。 

     ;My  cow  is   stuck   in the   mud�察  �about   a quarter   of   a   mile   from  here�察─�

said little Brother Rabbit�察 �and I cannot pull her out。 Of course you could。 

If you will be so very obliging as to help me; 

     ;Certainly�察─�said the Elephant grandly�察 �certainly。; 

     ;Then�察─�said little Brother Rabbit�察 �I will tie one end of this long rope

to   your   trunk�察  �and   the   other   to   my   cow�察  �and   as   soon   as   I   have   tied   her 

tightly I will beat my big drum。 When you hear that�察�pull�察�pull as hard as 

you can�察�for my cow is very heavy。; 

     ;Never fear�察─�said the Elephant�察 �I could pull twenty cows。; 

     ;I am sure you could�察─�said the Rabbit�察�politely�察 �only be sure to begin 

gently�察�and pull harder and harder till you get her。; 

     Then he tied the end of the rope tightly round the Elephant's trunk�察�and 

ran away into the bushes。 There he sat down and beat the big drum。 

     The Whale began to pull�察�and the Elephant began to pull�察�and in a jiffy 

the rope tightened till it was stretched as hard as could be。 

     ;This   is   a   remarkably   heavy   cow�察─  �said   the   Elephant�察   �but   I'll   fetch 

her� ─�And he braced his forefeet in the earth�察�and gave a tremendous pull。 

     ;Dear   me� ─  �said   the   Whale。   ;That   cow   must   be   stuck   mighty  tight�察─�

and he drove his tail deep in the water�察�and gave a marvelous pull。 

     He   pulled   harder�察  �the   Elephant   pulled   harder。   Pretty  soon   the   Whale 

found himself sliding toward the land。 The reason was�察�of course�察�that the 

Elephant   had   something   solid   to   brace   against�察  �and�察  �too�察  �as   fast   as   he 

pulled the rope in a little�察�he took a turn with it round his trunk� �

     But when the Whale found himself sliding toward the land he was so 

provoked with the cow that he dove head first�察�down to the bottom of the 

sea。   That   was   a   pull�   �The   Elephant   was   jerked   off   his   feet�察  �and   came 

slipping and sliding to the beach�察�and into the surf。 He was terribly angry。 

He braced himself with all his might�察�and pulled his best。 At the jerk�察�up 

came the Whale out of the water。 

     ;Who is pulling me�拭─�spouted the Whale。 

     ;Who is pulling me�拭─�trumpeted the Elephant。 

     And then each saw the rope in the other's hold。 

     ;I'll teach you to play cow� ─�roared the Elephant。 

     ;I'll show you how to fool me� ─�fumed the Whale。 And they began to 

pull again。 But this time the rope broke�察�the Whale turned a somersault�察�

and the Elephant fell over backwards。 

     At   that�察  �they   were   both   so   ashamed   that   neither   would   speak   to   the 

other。 So that broke up the bargain between them。 

     And little Brother Rabbit sat in the bushes and laughed�察�and laughed�察�

                       THE LITTLE HALF´CHICK 



       There was once upon a time a Spanish Hen�察�who hatched out some 

nice little chickens。 She was much pleased with their looks as they came 

from the shell。 One�察�two�察�three�察�came out plump and fluffy�察�but when the 

fourth shell broke�察�out came a little half´chick� �It had only one leg and one 

wing and one eye� �It was just half a chicken。 

     The Hen´mother did not know what in the world to do with the queer 

little Half´ Chick。 She was afraid something would happen to it�察�and she 

tried hard to protect it and keep it from harm。 But as soon as it could walk 

the little Half´Chick showed a most headstrong spirit�察�worse than any of 

its brothers。 It would not mind�察�and it would go wherever it wanted to�察�it 

walked   with     a   funny   little  hoppity´kick�察  �hoppity´    kick�察  �and  got  along 

pretty fast。 

     One day the little Half´Chick said�察 �Mother�察�I am off to Madrid�察�to see 

the King� �Good´by。; 

     The poor Hen´mother did everything she could think of�察�to keep him 

from   doing   so   foolish   a   thing�察  �but   the   little   Half´Chick   laughed   at   her 

naughtily。 ;I'm for seeing the King�察─�he said�察 �this life is too quiet for me。; 

And away he went�察�hoppity´kick�察�hoppity´kick�察�over the fields。 

     When he had gone some distance the little Half´Chick came to a little 

brook that was caught in the weeds and in much trouble。
