Rover dropped his bone and turned around. Then he ran to catch the crow.

While Rover was running after this crow, the other crows flew down and stole his bone.

When poor Rover came back, he had no bone. He looked all around, but could not find it.

"Caw! Caw! Caw!" laughed the crows in the tree.

I think that they knew quite well what the first crow said. Don't you?

"How can I go to bed till I have said good night to baby Ray?" asked the little dog Penny. 'He gives me some of his bread and milk. He pats me with his soft little hand.

"It is bed time now for dogs and babies. I must see if he is asleep."

So Penny trotted away in his silky white nightgown. He found baby Ray on the porch

in mamma's arms.

story:

Mamma was telling him this

"The dog that was given him to keep, keep, keep, Went to see if Ray was asleep, sleep, sleep."

"How can we go to sleep till we have said good night to baby Ray?" asked the two little kitties.

"He lets us play with his ball. He laughs when we climb on the table.

"It is bed time now for kitties and dogs and babies. Maybe he is asleep."

They ran along in their soft gray nightgowns, looking for baby. They found him on the porch

"One dog that was given him to keep, keep, keep, Two little kitty-cats, creep, creep, creep,

Went to see if Ray was asleep, sleep, sleep."

"How can we go to bed till we have seen baby Ray?" asked the three little rabbits.

"It is bed time now for rabbits and kitties and dogs and babies."

Away they went in their little white nightgowns. On the porch mamma was telling this story to baby Ray:

"One dog that was given him to keep, keep, keep, Two little kitty-cats creep, creep, creep, Three little rabbits leap, leap, leap,

Went to see if Ray was asleep, sleep, sleep."

"How can we go to bed till we have seen baby Ray?" asked the four little white ducks.

"He likes to watch us swim on the pond. He brings us corn in his little blue apron.

"It is bed time now for ducks and rabbits and kitties and dogs and babies."

They waddled along in their white feather nightgowns, looking for baby. On the porch mamma was telling him this story:

"One dog that was given him to keep, keep, keep,

Two little kitty-cats, creep, creep, creep,
Three little rabbits, leap, leap, leap,

Four ducks from the duck pond, deep, deep, deep,

Went to see if Ray was asleep, sleep, sleep."

"How can we go to bed till we have seen baby Ray?" asked the five little chickens.
