StNicholas [serial] .

A mail-bag was carried by T. Terrapin,Made of waterproof stuff without and within:For Tim had to go, As of course you must know,Down under the water in ponds, brooks, and springs,To carry his notes to the queer little thingsWho live in the rushes or hide under logs,—Water-beetles and dragon-flies, turtles and frogs;But out of their nests these Skiddoodles all crept, The spiders quick-stepped, The frogs gaily leapt,And every one said he d be glad to accept.
