MUD PIES.
Reading edition
BY MRS. MARGARET E. SANGSTER.
Sweetened with sugar, and sprinkled with spice, Apple turn-overs are really nice; But make-believe pies are a great deal more fun, When little cooks bake them out here in the sun. With soft coaxing touches they mix up the dough— Brown flour is said to be wholesome, you know; And if little fingers shall gather a stain, Why, water and soap will soon wash them again. And after the wonderful baking is done— The droll jolly baking out here in the sun— The sweet little cooks will be happy to take, If somebody give it, a good slice of cake.
