Pàgina 129 - Well, there was another little boy at the same school whose name was Billy. And one day his mamma sent him a cake, because she loved him dearly, and he loved her dearly. So when the cake came, Billy said to his schoolfellows, I have got a cake ; come, let us go and eat it. So they came about him like a parcel of bees ; and Billy took a slice of cake himself, and then gave a piece to one, and a piece to another, till it was almost gone. Then Billy put the rest by, and said, I will eat it tomorrow.
Pàgina 89 - Charles, you must not go out into the fields by yourself, nor without leave. You are a very little boy, you know ; and if you were to venture out by yourself you would be lost ; then you would cry, and night would come, and it would be dark, and you could not find your way home, and you...
Pàgina 158 - Let us tie the grass ; it will be very good sport to tie the long grass over the path, and to see people tumble upon their noses as they run along, and do not suspect any thing of the matter.
Pàgina 104 - But the spit is made of iron ; and so are the tongs, and the poker, and shovel. Go and ask Dobbin if he can plough without the ploughshare. Well, what does he say ? He says, No, he cannot. But the ploughshare is made of iron. Will iron melt in the fire ? Put the poker in and try. Well, is it melted ? No ; but it is red hot, and soft ; it will bend.
Pàgina 120 - Then the dog went to Ralph, the servant, and pulled him by the coat, and pulled him till he brought him to the ditch ; and the dog and Ralph together got the little boy out of the ditch ; but he was all over mud, and quite wet, and every body laughed at him because he was a coward. Now, Charles, my pen is tired, I cannot write any more at present ; but if you are a good boy, perhaps I may write you some more stories another time. Farewell.
Pàgina 118 - Billy, when they came and put their noses through the 11 pales of the court ; and he would not pluck Billy by the beard. What a silly little boy he was. Pray what was his name ? Nay, indeed, I shall not tell you his name, for I am ashamed of him. Well, he was very much afraid of dogs too ; he always cried if a dog barked, and ran away, and took hold of his mamma's apron like a baby. What a foolish fellow he was ! for dogs do not hurt, you know ; they love little boys, and play with them. Did you...
Pàgina 161 - He must come to the white house, at the end of the long chesnut avenue, said the man ; he is a very good gentleman that lives there.
Pàgina 122 - They were hardly out of the shell before they began to peck at each other ; and when they grew bigger they fought till they were all bloody. If one picked up a barley-corn, the other always wanted to have it. They never looked pretty, because their feathers were pulled off in fighting, till they were quite bare ; and they pecked at one another's eyes till they were both almost blind.
