I
when bat a little prattling boy
Who loved to play with glitt'ring toy,
mamma me
I cried until gave
The email electric battery.
I hauled it up and down the floor,
Across and back, then out the door
Its handles two, one in each hand
I held, and ran, while breezes fanned
My heated cheeks and tangled hair;
I skipped along and thought not where,
Until I reached a winding brook,
There sat I down in quiet nook
Where grass was high 'neath shady tree;
Still held I to the battery.
An Eagle with a hoary head
:—
Alighted near, and plainly said
"Whould you not like with me to roam
And see the world, return then home?"
I asked how long he thought we'd be,
And if mamma I'd better see
" Don't fear," he said, "Twill all be right
And you'll be home ere falls the night."
" "
)) ) : !
Down
from his perch he quickly came,
V I wondered why he was so tame
" You'd like to go, but wings you lack,
Just seat yourself upon my back."
Away he flew o'er plain and hill,
Nor
tarried in his flight until
We
neared a sparkling
little lake.
And '* Here," said he, "A re».t we'll take."
I started toward the water clear.
He
smiling said, " Don't go too near.
It is not cold, nor very warm.
But still may do you serious harm."
I ran, until behind a rock-
One finger dipped—Oh what a shock
I
That sudden, unexpected I
jar,
T. .ned bubbles each to flashing star.
1 ran again th' Eagle's side,
" So you Electric Lake have tried ?
You cannot dabble in it now.
But may, when I have shown you how
By
drinking water from the Lake;
( I thought it must be a mistake
*• These herbs shall be your daily food ;
( His words I scarcely understood
'' You'll find a gourd 'neath yon green tree.
Take it and dip, dip cautiously."
His bidding done—and dipped the gourd.
But dreaded I the coming word
- Now drink1 " said he. How bright his eye
my
1 feared time had come to die.
Tremblingly raised I to my lips
