BOOTS, ah, Boots, I have always seenHow men so gallantly walk once, I think, I will try them too ;And walk up and down in them, men, like some of you only here to see,How you would admire and envy me. But hark! in the thicket, a noise, good Ape ;The hunter is coming, and you must draw off your boots without delay,And climb through the tall trees, up and the boots are sticky, you cannot flee; No, you re caught, poor Ape, through your vanity. 65 E. BEAR AND BEEHIVE.

He knew hed found honey, the sly old bear, But a threatening swarm of bees was there ; He calPd up his most courageous mood,— Ill get it, he said, it is so good: Oh, but the little bees stung him sore, Till he grumbled, Ill neer eat honey more. 66 I m: Itflfru. ••• • - WA.
