Once there was a dear little baby,
and he did not have any hair at all on
his little head. So his mamma took
him out and put him down in the tall
grass, and he pulled the dandelion
blossoms off and put his nose in them,
and held them while he looked to see
the funny milk come out of the stem.
Then good little fairy came along
that way and saw that the dear little
baby did not have one little bit OF
hair And the fairy said: THAT is too
bad, not to have hair on such dear
little baby's head. think / would
better get some"
so she few up into a great, tan
thistle-top and shook It and pulled
out the fluffy thistle-down, and the
wind picked It up and carried il along
and dropped it down on the baby's
head. And it grew there. And then
the little baby smiled, and put his
cunning little hand up and felt of the
soft t1istle-down resting on his little
head. And then his mamma had TO
get a brush and brush it some; when
ever the wind blew it would get all
loose and fluffy again. r
So one day when all the little this
tle-downs. were flying through the air,
that dear little baby was out. playing
again. and the little white hairs all
stood up and reached out their arms;
and the wind came down and lifted
them. and the baby foated up, up, UP,
very, very high, and foated along in.
the air, smiling because it was so
nice and soft to float up there. Then
the wind carried him along, and pretty
soon the little baby came to a great
high, high tree in the clouds.
And. so he sat down. on a big limb,
and there was a nice old owl sitting
there. :. And Mr.. owl rufled up his
fe. rs and looked cross, but the lit
tie baby saids "Sit over a little bit"
and the little baby sat down close be-
side him and rested his little head
against the soft feathers. And then
the little baby said: I am mammals
boy.
And Mr. Owl opened his eyes ana
nodded his head and looked polite and
said: .'Whoo!"
Mamma Florence, I tell you, and
I've got a kitty and new dolly"
And Mr.. Owl bowed his head just
as politely, only he said 1Whoo!"
'His n;Aae is Thomas Jefferson, but
7 won't tell Won any more if you don't
listen better I'll call my papa.
Who'd" said the big owl, and then.
he took his big old claw and scratch
ed the back of his head and made
himself all fluffy by shaking himself.
So then the little boys head began
to sink down, down, down on Mr..
Owls soft feathers, and Mr.. owl
shook himself and said: Get on my
back, little Fisseltop. and I'll take you
to your mamma; you are getting very
sleepy"
So little Fisseltop got on Mr. Owls
back and put his arms around his
neck, and away flew Mr.. Owl down
through the limbs and right down to
the little boys house. And then he
ran to his mamma, and she gave him
a good piece of brown bread and but
ter and said: Where has my little
Fisseltop been this windy day."
And little Fisseltop told her as he
shook his fluffy head at his mamma
