He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see; I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!

Сторінка 85 - I HAVE a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow — Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball, And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.
Сторінка 42 - Dear mother, how pret-ty The moon looks to-night! She was never so cun-ning before; Her two little horns Are so sharp and so bright, I hope she'll not grow any more.
