_Just like me._
And then I saw it was a little monkey.
_Just like me._
Just like you! Ha, ha! You said the monkey was just like you; I think
you must be a little monkey yourself if it looked just like you.

Now I will tell you something else. I will say _one_ and then you must
say _two_; I will say _three_, and you must say _four_ and so on; but
each time we must say after the number “a dead horse.” Like this. I say
_one_ a dead horse, and you must say _two_ a dead horse.
Now begin.
One a dead horse.
_Two a dead horse._
Three a dead horse.
_Four a dead horse._
Five a dead horse.
_Six a dead horse._
Seven a dead horse.
_Eight a dead horse._
Eight a dead horse! Ate a dead horse! You said you ate a dead horse.
Oh! oh! Did it taste good? I hope you enjoyed it. For my part I
wouldn’t care to eat a dead horse.

Now I will tell you what kind of a lock I am, and you must be the same
kind of a key. If I say I am a gray lock, you must say you are a gray
key. If I say I am a queer lock you must say you are a queer key. If I
say I am a rusty lock you must say you are a rusty key.
