BLIND MAN’S BUFF.
Reading edition
Harry, Charlie, Grace and May, Playing Blind-man’s-buff one day, Running here and running there, Falling over stool and chair. Strange how Charlie right away Caught them, ’till his cousin May Saw him peek, and cried, “No fair, Charlie boy, how do you dare.” Charlie hung his head in shame, Ran and left them to their game, Hid himself behind the door For at least an hour or more. So I’m sure it did not pay Charlie boy to peek that way, In playing games of any kind Honesty is best you’ll find.
