OUR LITTLE HAND-ORGAN MAN.
Reading edition
————
EARER and nearer the sitting-room door came the patter of little feet. And this queer song was heard over and over:
"Herbie—is—organ-hand man!"
Then in pranced our little three-year-old Herbie, his eyes bright, his right hand going round and round to imitate the hand-organ man. Under his left arm was a cricket.
"Look here!" said papa, laughing heartily, "you've got the cart before the horse. It's hand-organ, not organ-hand." "Herbie—is—organ-hand-man!"
His eyes only shone the brighter as he persisted in his funny mistake.
