_Golden Flowers

Fast_

"Everywhere you go
You see them dancing,
Flowers dancing
In the sunlight.

"Nodding heads are shining
Like the dew-drops,
Sparkling dew-drops,
Shining gayly."




THE MEAN SPIDER


Old Stingy sat in the midst of his spider-web, as some old Giant used to
sit in his fortress waiting to pounce upon innocent people to kill them
and eat them. Stingy's shoulders were all humped up, and his eight claws
looked very ugly. He had already tangled up one Noisy Fly, and now he
sat waiting for another. Everybody hated him; even Toadie Todson went
out of his way to give a lazy snap at Stingy.

All day long Stingy spun webs, caught noisy flies and even other
spiders, and yet nobody ever knew what he did with his webs or with the
