The little fellow came towards the
children, making friendly gestures and
smiling pleasantly. AS he approached.

were very sleepy, for you must know
that the little man was none other

children's best friends.
When the Sandman was near

Hansel's and GreteIs eyes, from the
little sack on his back; but he always
smiled quietly and sang this little
song, which by its very melody put
the children to sleep:
