Little 80-Peep was a pretty Shepherdess, rekinig: in that
beautiful place called Arcadia. She was a very ~00d girl; but
had one fault; and that was, sh;t world often fall asleep in
the day time. when she ought -tn duiVe been tending bee sheep.
Her godmother, who was a Fairy, was very angry with her,
and tried to correct her, but in vain ; ill' one day, a wolf,
who lived ix a cavern near this beautiful place, having fallen
in love with 80-Peep and been rejected by her, out of revenge
resolved to steal her sheep, cut off their tails, and hang them
up on a tree to dry. Bo. Peep, as usual, having fallen asleep,
rendered the stealing of her sheep a tery easy matter for the
wolf and his companions. While she WitS Sleeping, her god-
mother showed to • her, in a dream, the consecitienee of
laziness ; and then there appeared to her a group of beautiful
shepherdesses, who were living and playing, and dancing in
a grove of 'abortion* and were happy as the days were long,
because in their time they had never been idle. When Bo-
Prep woke out of this dream she found her sheep had bon
taken away, •so she set out determined to find them :
When going along what should Fhb tee bat the tails of all
her poor sheep hanging up, side by side, on it tied hi dry.
She then met with a cowherd, to whom the wolf had given
the charge of her sheep, and with whom she drove a bargain
for getting them back- tails, and all. When she .had accom-
plished this, Abe ietorned biotite. With them, where, assisted
by some kjneilY fildePtlereitt'xi•e. Abe eiohttiired {6 tack cash or
the tails of her poor sheep in its place a7alil.
Colin, a young shepherd? undertook to watch the flock all
a$ 80-Peep was tired and 'wanted to go to bed. The
sheep being all Carefully put into the fold, and watched by
Colin, 80-Peep prepared to retire for the night; but when
she bad laid down, the wicked wolf appeared to carry her off
by force—dragged her out of her bed, and, 7 ith the aid of
hie companions, conquered Colin, notwithst ending 80-Peep's
fav-unite black Ram, and her dog Lion, came to defend their
mistress. In this extremity, she called upon her godmother
N help her, who immediatoy appeared In all her fair glory;
changed Colin into Harlequin, 80-Peep into Columbine, the
wicked Wolf into Pantaloon, his Cowherd into Clown. She
then to'd 80-Peep, that if, after twelve months, she would
correct herself of going to sleep in the day-time, she would
consent to her marriage with Colin. It is needless to add,
Little 80-Peep did correct herself—was parried to Colin, and
afterwards lived like the other shepherdesses—as happy as the
days were long.
