them. One day / took n spinet on
my wheel. then went fishing. I
put markets on the trees. so as TO
find my way back through the woods.
= wished I had a gun. for 7 saw n
bucket, and a mosling and some
outlets. caught only a few carpets
i'm the pond, and a curling followed
me home. When 7 got there. Violet
was watering some plantlets she
had on a racket on the piazza. She
wanted me to draw some water from
the big well but I knew she could
manage the pumpkin at the welkin.
and she soon got a bucket full there.
] tried to open the door. but It
stuck. I gave it n pullet and a
lerkin, using my foot as a bracelet.
and IL gave way so suddenly that 7
fell over. ] got some outlets on my
hands and hurt my leg so that 7
walked with a limpet for DAYS. I
struck my head. too. but father
laughed at me and said it was only
a pumpkin. Mother was glad to fry
my carpets i'm the skillet She boiled
cornet and stewed the plummets 7
had picked, so with the hamlet left

quite feast 7 was tired then. and
wanted to go to sleep. but there was
so much noise I could get only
