CUNNING little Dolly often gets into mischief. She thinks she can do
just what grandma and mamma do. One day grandma fell asleep and her
knitting dropped to the floor.

Dolly soon spied it, and the spectacles, too. She picked both up and
climbed into a big chair. Before beginning to knit she thought of
something else.
"Dess Dolly'll put on drandma's tean tap."
So she got the clean cap from the table, and climbed into the big chair
again. After putting on cap and spectacles, Dolly tried to knit. But she
only pulled the needles out, and tangled the yarn. And grandma was
stirring, too. What would she say to Dolly when she woke up?

Dolly was afraid grandma wouldn't like it, so she slipped from the chair
and hid behind the clock.
"Where's my work?" asked grandma. "Has Dolly been here?"
"Dolly's done 'way," answered a voice behind the clock.
