BY GEORGE WEBBE DASENT

Once on a time there was an old wife who sat and baked. Now you must

know that this old wife had a little son, who was so plump and fat,

and so fond of good things, that they called him Buttercup; she had a

dog, too, whose name was Goldtooth, and as she was baking, all at once

Goldtooth began to bark.

"Run out, Buttercup, there's a dear!" said the old wife, "and see what

Goldtooth is barking at."
