FOOLISH YOUNG PETER
Foolish young Peter often took When he went out, a story-book; And read it as he walked along, Although he knew that this was wrong. But as he could not see his way, Into a pond he fell one day, And, oh, you should have heard him shout. Until his father pulled him out.! NO WISH TO STAY The proceedings of a police court case had been rather noisy, and the magistrate determined to restore order. “The next person who interrupts.” he said sternly, “will be put outside.” “Hurray!” shouted the prisoner.

AN IGNORANT DOG "I hear that you have lost your dog. Have you put an advertisement in the paper?” "No; the dog can’t read.”
