THE SUPERIOR BOYS
Reading edition
Tom and Charles once took a walk, To see a pretty lamb; And, as they went, began to talk Of little naughty Sam; Who beat his younger brother, Bill, And threw him in the dirt; And when his poor mamma was ill, He teased her for a squirt. "And I," said Tom, "won't play with Sam, Although he has a top": But here the pretty little lamb To talking put a stop.
