THE PONYS TRICKS Shake hands, pony, said the coachman. Quickly, at command,Pony placed his forefoot gently In the coachmans hand. Pony, said the coachman, slowly, I have heard it saidThat youre fond of oats for supper; Pony bowed his head. What! Another trick ! Oh, watch him! Pony, show them nowHow you like to roll and frolic; Roll, sir ! You know how! Down upon the grass went pony, Rolled from side to the children watched his capers With delight and pride. In the stable pony showed them He knew one trick his nose the latch he lifted Of the stable door. 19. 21 Ha, ha! said the coachman, gayly, Ill look out for you!Stable doors by ponies opened? That would never do ! Oh! the cunning little fellow! How much he does know!Laughed the children, Hes as funny As a circus show!
