Sam on the kitchen funnel blew,

The dinner-bell Jane rang;

The bellows made a nice guitar,

Min played while Alice sang.

Tom came to hear us, Tabby too,

Who brought her kittens three;

And also Flora with her pup;

We let them all in—free!

TO

WEE PEOPLE

WHO MAKE HOME

HAPPY WITH ARTLESS

PRATTLE AND MERRY

PLAY, THIS BOOK IS

LOVINGLY

DEDICATED.
