I wonder if any of your devoted
readers know the words of an old
poem for children, called who
Stole the Nest From the Little Vel
loW-breaSt?" After verses making
inquiry of all the animals, it ends:
"A little boy hung down his head
And went and hid behind the bed,
For he it was who'd stolen the nest

who can supply the missing verses,
or tell me where they may be found.
