like that the dreadful trap snapped
open and Uncle Lucky pulled hi, leg
out And then the trap snapped back
again and caught Mrs Cows horn
But she didn't care, for a horn doesn't
hurt like a leg, you know And then
what do you think she did2 Why, she
lifted up her had and banged that old
trap against a tree so hard that il broke
