So when the cake came, Billy said to his schoolfellows, I have got a cake, come let us go and eat it.

Pàgina 12 - Fiddler came into the court ; he had a long white beard ; and, because he was blind, he had a little dog in a string to lead him. So he came into the court, and sat down upon a stone, and said, My pretty lads, if you will, I will play you a tune.
Pàgina 55 - ... could bear. Why is that? is not the sun nearer us when it sinks down towards the fields, than when it is a great way up in the sky ? No ; the sun does not really touch the fields, but he seems to do so, because you can see nothing between them. But we are got home. Come in. Now put your eye level with the table. Look at the globe that hangs at the other end of the room : Does it not appear to touch the table? Yes, it does. But if it was held above the table it would not appear to touch. No. So...
Pàgina 86 - ... fond of this dog, and used to take him out with him when he went abroad ; and Argus used to scour over the fields after any thing he saw, and gallop back again to his master swifter than a race-horse ; and if his master only said " Poor fellow !
