Sparrow the Tramp, A Fable for Children

by Lily F. Wesselhoeft

Overview

Excerpt: "Let that sugar-bowl alone, Posy," said Tom, as Posy extracted a lump while they were waiting for Papa and Mamma to come down to breakfast "I'm not taking it for myself," answered Posy, as plainly as the large lump in her mouth permitted her to speak; "I'm only just getting a lump for Dicky. "That's a story," said Tom "I was only just tasting it to see if it was a real sweet lump," said Posy very distinctly now, for the lump had disappeared. "I didn't mean to eat it, but it went all to pieces in my mouth." "You might have known it would," said Tom "I guess I'd better pick out a real hard lump next time," said Posy; and she made up her mind not to put that one in her mouth, so she only lapped it a little as she walked towards the canary's cage."
