shut. The Princess wanted to go in- and see what was in this room.

She called, "Open the door!" But no one came. She called once. She

called twice; then the door was opened. The Princess went into the

room: and there she saw a very old woman.

The old woman was sitting near a table. On the table there Was

some cloth. The old woman had some cloth in one hand, and in the

other hand she had a needle.

The Princess said, "What are you doing?"

"I am making something," said the old woman.

"What are you making?" said the Princess.

"I am making some clothes," said the old woman.

“What is that in your hand?" said the Princess.

"That is the cloth," said the old woman.

"No!" said the Princess. "What is that in your other hand?"

"That?" said the old woman. "That is a needle."

The Princess said, "Give me the 'needle'; I want to see it.

I have not seen a needle. I do not know what a needle is."

The old woman said, "Have you not seen a needle? How can that

be? You have seen many needles! Needles are seen in all houses."

The old woman gave the needle to the Princess.

"Give me the cloth," said the Princess: 'I want to make

clothes." Then the old woman gave the Princess the cloth.

The Princess pricked the cloth with the needle  — but she

pricked her hand. And she fell asleep!

Then all the men and the women in the house fell asleep. The

King fell asleep at his table, and the Queen sitting near him fell

asleep.

The man in the garden fell asleep with his are in his hand.

The man standing at the door of the house fell asleep where he stood.

All were asleep.

A fairy came to the Princess. She took her and put her on a

bed. Then the fairy said to the trees and to the flowers in the

garden, " Grow!" The flowers grew up, and the trees grew big. There

was a wall of trees and flowers. So no one could go into the house.

In the house the Princess slept; and the King slept, and all

his men; and the Queen, and her women, slept.

Many wanted to go into the house of the Sleeping Princess; but

they could not go through the trees. So no one came.

Years went by, and the Princess slept. Many years went by, and

men did not know what the house was and who was in it. The trees

grew up; you could not see the house through the trees. Men went

by the trees and did not know that there was a house there.

One day a King rode into the forest. His son was with him. The

King and his men went far in front, and the King's son could not

find them. He rode on, and he came to a wall of trees and flowers.

He said, "My father has gone through those trees: I will go through

them and find him."

As he came to the wall of trees, it opened, and he went through.

Then he saw a garden; but all the flowers had grown here and there

as they wanted.

He came to a house. The door was open, a man was standing by

the door asleep. the King's son said, "What a lazy man, he sleeps

standing!" He went into the house. Men sat at the table, with food

in their hands, asleep.

A little boy had been reading a story: he had fallen asleep

with his head on his arms. A woman had been putting on her shoes;

she was asleep with one shoe on and one shoe in her hand. An old

man sat with pen and paper, asleep; and the dust of years was on

his paper. Near him a woman was asleep with her little child asleep

in her arms.

The King's son went from one room to another. He saw the old

King asleep at his table, and near him the Queen asleep with her

head in her hands. Then he came to a room where there was sunlight

and flowers. The window was open and roses had grown in through

the window into the room. Golden light came through the window and

fell upon a bed. The Princess was on the bed. Her eyes were shut.

She was asleep.

The King's son kissed her. She awoke. Then all the house awoke.

The man awoke at the door. The men awoke and ate the food in their

hands. The woman awoke and put on her shoe. The boy awoke and read

his story. The King awoke at his table. The Queen rubbed her eyes,

and said, "What were you saying, my King. I fell asleep."

The Princess was married by the King's son, and they became

King and Queen.

The Man and the Apples

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went

along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road.

He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will

give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then

he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big;

so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said,

"I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over

the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began

to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them

out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them

at some other time.

“Mr.  Fox is Dead”

Mr. Rabbit was a very bad little beast; he was always doing

things that made other persons angry and they wanted to catch him.

But it was very hard to catch Mr. Rabbit.

One day Mr. Wolf said to Mr. Fox, "We will catch Mr. Rabbit

and eat him tonight. You go to your home and get into bed. I shall

say that you are dead. Then Mr. Rabbit will come near you to look

at you, and you will jump up and catch him."

Mr. Fox ran home and got into bed. Mr. Wolf went to Mr. Rabbit'

house. He stood at the door and called, "Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit."

"What is it?" said Mr. Rabbit.

"Have you heard about poor Mr. Fox? It is so sad!"

No," said Mr. Rabbit, "I have not heard anything about Mr. Fox."

"He is dead!" said Mr. Wolf.

Mr. Wolf went away. Mr. Rabbit went to Mr.

Fox's house to see what he could see. He looked in through the

window, and there he saw Mr. Fox on the bed with his eyes shut,

looking like a dead fox. Mr. Rabbit thought, "I must see if he is

dead or not For if he is not dead, he will catch me when I go near

to him."

Mr. Rabbit went into Mr. Fox's house; he looked at Mr. Fox and

said, "Mr. Wolf says that Mr. Fox is dead but he does not look like

a dead fox.  You can always know if a fox is dead, for dead foxes

always open their mouths.

Mr. Fox heard this, and he thought, "I will show him that I

am dead." So he opened his mouth.

When Mr. Rabbit saw Mr. Fox open his mouth he knew that Mr.

Fox was not dead. Mr. Rabbit jumped up and ran out of the house

as quickly as he could.

Snow-white

Once there was a Queen. She was sitting at the window.  There

was snow  outside in the garden—snow on the hill and in the lane,

snow on the huts and on the trees: all things were white with snow.

She had some cloth in her hand and a needle. The cloth in her

hand was as white as the snow.

The Queen was making a coat for a little child. She said, "I

want my child to be white as this cloth, white as the snow. And

I shall call her Snow-white."

Some days after that the Queen had a child. The child was white

as snow. The Queen called her Snow-white.

But the Queen was very ill, and after some days she died.

Snow-white lived, and was a very happy and beautiful child.

One year after that, the King married another Queen. The new

Queen was very beautiful; but she was not a good woman.

A wizard had given this Queen a glass. The glass could speak.

It was on the wall in the Queen's room. Every day the Queen looked

in the glass to see how beautiful she was. As she looked in the

glass, she asked:

" Tell me, glass upon the wall,

Who is most beautiful of all?"

And the glass spoke and said:

"The Queen is most beautiful of all."

Years went by. Snow-white grew up and be- came a little girl.

Every day the Queen looked in the glass and said,

"Tell me, glass upon the wall,

Who is most beautiful of all?"

And every day the glass spoke and said,

"The Queen is most beautiful of all."

Years went by, and Snow-white grew up and became a woman. Every

year she became more and more beautiful.

Then one day, when Snow-white was a woman, the Queen looked

in the glass and said,

"Tell me, glass upon the wall,

Who is most beautiful of all?"

And the glass said,

"Snow-white is most beautiful of all."

When the Queen heard this, she was very angry. She said,

"Snow-white is not more beautiful than I am. There is no one who

is more beautiful than I am."

Then the Queen sat on her bed and cried.

After one hour the Queen went out of her room. She called one

of the servants, and said, " Take Snow-white into the forest and

kill her."

The servant took Snow-white to the forest, but he did not kill

her, because she was so beautiful and so good.

The man took Snow-white into the forest, but he did not kill

her. He said, "I shall not kill you; but do not go to the King's

house, because the Queen is angry and she will see you. If the Queen

sees you, she will make some other man kill you. Wait here in the

forest; some friends will help you."

Then he went away.

Poor Snow-white sat at the foot of a tree and cried. Then she

saw that night was coming. She said, " I will not cry. I will find

some house where I can sleep tonight. I cannot wait here: the bears

will eat me."

She went far into the forest. Then she saw a little but. She

opened the door of the hut, and went in.

In the hut she saw seven little beds. There was a table and

on the table there were seven little loaves and seven little glasses.

She ate one of the loaves. Then she said, "I want some water to

drink." So she drank some water out of one of the glasses. Then

she fell asleep on one of the seven little beds.

The hut was the home of seven Little Men.

When it was night, the seven Little Men came to the hut. Each

Little Man had a big beard, and a little blue coat. Each Little

Man came into the hut, and took his little lamp. Then each Little

Man sat down, and ate his little loaf, and drank his little glass

of water.

But one Little Man said,

"Someone has eaten my little loaf."

And another Little Man said,

"Someone has drunk my little glass of water."

Then the seven Little Men went to bed, but one Little Man said,

"Someone is sleeping on my little bed."

All the seven Little Men came to look at Snow-white as she slept

on the Little  Man's bed. They said,

"She is very beautiful."

"She is very beautiful."

"She is very beautiful."

"She is very beautiful."

"She is very beautiful."

"She is very beautiful."

"She is very beautiful."

Snow-white awoke, and saw the seven Little Men with their big

beards standing near her bed. She was afraid .

The Little Men said, "Do not be afraid. We are your friends.

Tell us how you came here."

Snow-white said, "I will tell you." Then she told them her

story.

They said, "Do not be afraid. Live here with us. But see that

the door is shut when we are not in the house with you. Do not go

out. If you go out, the bad Queen will find you. Then she will know

that you are not dead, and will tell someone to kill you."

So Snow-white lived in 'the hut with the seven Little Men.

After some days Snow-white went into the garden. One of the

Queen's servants was going through the forest, and he saw her. He

went and told the Queen, "Snow-white is in a hut in the forest."

The Queen was very angry when she heard that snow-white was not

dead.

The Queen took an apple. She made a hole in the red side of

the apple, and put some powder into the hole. Then she put on old

clothes and went to the hut. She called, "Is any one there?"

Snow-white opened the door, and came out to her. The Queen said,

"I have some pretty apples. Eat one of my pretty apples." Snow-white

took the apple and said, "Is it good?" The Queen said, "See, I will

eat this white side of the apple; you eat the red side. Then you

will know that it is good."

Snow-white ate the red side of the apple. When the powder was

in her mouth she fell down dead.

The Queen went back to her house. She went into her room. She

looked into the glass and said,

"Tell me, glass upon the wall,

Who is most beautiful of all?"

The glass siad,

"The Queen is most beautiful of all."

Then the Queen knew that Snow-white was dead.

The Little Men came back to the hut. When they saw that

Snow-white was dead, the poor Little Men cried. Then they put

Snow-white in a box made of glass. They took the glass box to a

hill and put it there, and said, "Everyone who goes by will see

how beautiful she was."

Then each Little Man put one white flower on the box, and they

went away.

Just as they were going away, a Prince came by. He saw the glass

box and said, "What is that?" Then he saw Snow-white in the box.

He said, ." She was very beautiful: but do not put her there. There

is a hall in the garden of my father's house. It is all made of

white stone. We will take the glass box and put it in the hall of

beautiful white stone."

The Little Men said, "Take her."

Then the Prince told his servants to take up the box. They took

up the box. Just then one of the servants fell down. The box fell,

and Snow-white fell with the box. The bit of apple fell out of her

mouth: she awoke, and sat up, and said, "Where am I?"

The Prince said "You are with me. I never saw anyone as

beautiful as you. Come with me and be my Queen."

The Prince married Snow-white, and she became his Queen.

A man went and told this to the bad Queen. When she heard it

she was so angry that she fell down dead.

Snow-white lived and was very happy ever after. And the Little

Men came to see her every year.

Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Wolf

One day Mr. Rabbit was walking near the hill; he heard someone

crying out, " Help! Help!" He looked this way and that way, and

he saw poor Mr. Wolf. A great stone had fallen on Mr. Wolf's back,

and he could not get up. He cried, "Mr. Rabbit, take this great

stone from my back or I shall die."

Mr. Rabbit worked very hard and got the stone from Mr. Wolf's

back. Then Mr. Wolf jumped up and caught Mr. Rabbit in his mouth.
