TEENY TINY

There was once upon a time 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; so

the teeny-tiny woman opened the teeny-tiny gate, and went into a

teeny-tiny churchyard. 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!"

And this 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 again a teeny-tiny time, the teeny-tiny

voice 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, so she

hid her teeny-tiny head a teeny-tiny farther under the teeny-tiny

clothes. And when the teeny-tiny woman had been asleep again a

teeny-tiny time, the teeny-tiny voice from the teeny-tiny cupboard

said again a teeny-tiny louder--

"GIVE ME MY BONE!"

At this the 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!!"
