DOROTHY DUMP
This is the story of Dorothy Dump. Whoso ambition it was to be able t*> jump; “Put the rope higher and hold it quite tight.” She would cry. leaping up an astonishing height. She practised and practised at homo and at school. And when she returned jumped the gate as a rule. And out of the window' she made her exit. With the greatest of ease, thlnkin*nothing of it. “You know,” she would say, • I’d jump over a cloud. But the danger's too great, and 1 am not allowed.”
“Go on,” scoffed her school friends, Agape and wide-eyed, “You couldn’t jump over a cloud If you tried!” So Dorothy gave i. most marvellous leap. _ ... And cleared a small cloud with an elegant sweep. Landing safely at last from her perilous flight In the midst of her ftrends. Who were panting with fright.
And the folk in the street All gazed horrified up. Including these two and the Petrified pup. —w.s.r.
