anyone else, She WAS very kind to hor
little bet, ana plnycd with him Just as
other little girls play with their kittens
ana dolls.S She and Wroo!lyS spent many
happy days together, romping through the
fields and meadows. t
One day, after NVoolly had grown to
be big lamb, he and Alice went down
10 the edge Of the daisy field, and Woolly
kept on running across the field. or

getting as he went on. ALICE Followed
