THE STORY OF EPAMINONDAS AND HIS
AUNTIE��1�А�
��1�А�A Southern nonsense tale。
Epaminondas used to go to see his Auntie 'most every day�察 �and she
nearly always gave him something to take home to his Mammy。
One day she gave him a big piece of cake�察 �nice�察 �yellow�察 �rich gold´
cake。
Epaminondas took it in his fist and held it all scrunched up tight�察�like
this�察�and came along home。 By the time he got home there wasn't anything
left but a fistful of crumbs。 His Mammy said�察�
;What you got there�察�Epaminondas�拭─�
;Cake�察�Mammy�察─�said Epaminondas。
;Cake� ─�said his Mammy。 ;Epaminondas�察�you ain't got the sense you
was born with� �That's no way to carry cake。 The way to carry cake is to
wrap it all up nice in some leaves and put it in your hat�察�and put your hat
on your head�察�and come along home。 You hear me�察�Epaminondas�拭─�
;Yes�察�Mammy�察─�said Epaminondas。
Next day Epaminondas went to see his Auntie�察 �and she gave him a
pound of butter for his Mammy�察�fine�察�fresh�察�sweet butter。
Epaminondas wrapped it up in leaves and put it in his hat�察�and put his
hat on his head�察�and came along home。 It was a very hot day。 Pretty soon
the butter began to melt。 It melted�察 �and melted�察 �and as it melted it ran
down Epaminondas' forehead�察�then it ran over his face�察�and in his ears�察�and
down his neck。 When he got home�察�all the butter Epaminondas had was
ON HIM。 His Mammy looked at him�察�and then she said�察�
;Law's sake� �Epaminondas�察�what you got in your hat�拭─�
;Butter�察�Mammy�察─�said Epaminondas�察 �Auntie gave it to me。;
;Butter� ─�said his Mammy。 ;Epaminondas�察�you ain't got the sense you
was born with� �Don't you know that's no way to carry butter�拭�The way to
carry butter is to wrap it up in some leaves and take it down to the brook�察�
and cool it in the water�察�and cool it in the water�察�and cool it in the water�察�
and then take it on your hands�察�careful�察�and bring it along home。;
;Yes�察�Mammy�察─�said Epaminondas。

;A PUPPY´DOG� ─ �said his Mammy。 ;My gracious sakes alive�察�
Epaminondas�察 �you ain't got the sense you was born with� �That ain't the
way to carry a puppy´dog� �The way to carry a puppy´dog is to take a long
piece of string and tie one end of it round the puppy´dog's neck and put the
puppy´dog on the ground�察�and take hold of the other end of the string and
come along home�察�like this。;
;All right�察�Mammy�察─�said Epaminondas。
