Part 1 — UNCLE SILAS'S ENCOUNTER WITH THE EVIL ONE.
Reading edition
1 Jocko makes a bolt for the woods to escape a cruel master.
2 Finds a nice box which is just the place to hide in;
3 But soon discovers his mistake, to the delight of Uncle Silas, who finds his trap sprung,
4 And bags what he thinks a fine buck rabbit.
5 Visions of a savory stew present themselves as he takes poor Jocko homewards,
6 Which are about to be realized, when Jocko
7 Makes a second bolt for liberty,
8 And so did Silas and Chloe.
