 mind, And were always running away. Sport was the best one of the three, Although he was mischievous, too. Next came Speck. the little brown
 one:
 Then came Master Lew. A sad accident happened the other day To one of these puppies so dear. Their mamma she told them all to stay
 home, But they wandered way down to the
 pier. When night came on but two cana
 back. Where could dear Sport be? T know where he is," said little brown
 Speck, ''He fell right into the sea-" Poor Mamma Bess, she cried for

 came From not minding their parent dear.
