_Teeny-Tiny._[1]
[1 From Halliwell's "Nursery Stories."]
Once upon a time there was a teeny-tiny woman, who lived in a
teeny-tiny house in a teeny-tiny village. Now one day this teeny-tiny
woman put on her teeny-tiny bonnet, and went out of her teeny-tiny
house to take a teeny-tiny walk. And when this teeny-tiny woman had
gone a teeny-tiny way she came to a teeny-tiny gate, and went into a
teeny-tiny church-yard.
And when this teeny-tiny woman had got into the teeny-tiny churchyard
she saw a teeny-tiny bone on a teeny-tiny grave, and the teeny-tiny
woman said to her teeny-tiny self, "This teeny-tiny bone will make me
some teeny-tiny soup for my teeny-tiny supper." So the teeny-tiny woman
put the teeny-tiny bone into her teeny-tiny pocket, and went home to
her teeny-tiny house.
Now when the teeny-tiny woman got home to her teeny-tiny house she
was a teeny-tiny tired; so she went up her teeny-tiny stairs to her
teeny-tiny bed, and put the teeny-tiny bone into a teeny-tiny cupboard.
And when this teeny-tiny woman had been to sleep a teeny-tiny time she
was awakened by a teeny-tiny voice from the teeny-tiny cupboard, which
said--"Give me my bone!"
At this the teeny-tiny woman was a teeny-tiny frightened, so she hid
her teeny-tiny head under the teeny-tiny clothes, and went to sleep
again.
And when she had been asleep a teeny-tiny time the teeny-tiny voice
again cried out from the teeny-tiny cupboard a teeny-tiny louder--"Give
me my bone!"
This made the teeny-tiny woman a teeny-tiny more frightened, and she
hid her teeny-tiny head a teeny-tiny further under the teeny-tiny
clothes. And when the teeny-tiny woman had been to sleep again a
teeny-tiny time the teeny-tiny voice from the teeny-tiny cupboard
said again a teeny-tiny louder--"Give me my bone!"
[Illustration: _The Teeny-tiny Woman's Fright._]
And this teeny-tiny woman was a teeny-tiny bit more frightened, but she
put her teeny-tiny head out of the teeny-tiny clothes, and said in her
loudest teeny-tiny voice--"Take it!"
