THE TRAVELS AND
EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF
BOB THE SQUIRREL.
Anonymous
VOYAGES AND ADVENTURES
OF
BOB THE SQUIRREL.
--------------
Now, father! a story—a story!
said Mr. Goodman’s children, as their
father and mother drew up to the fire one winter evening, after the
tea-service was removed—A story! a story!
There were two children; one a fine little girl, whose name was Mary,
the other a little boy, whose name was Frank. He looked a little pale,
as if he had been sick, and one of his arms was hung in a handkerchief,
which was fastened round his neck. Why this was done, the little reader
will find out, before the end of the book.
Well,
said the kind father, willing to oblige his children, "what
shall the story be? About a good boy?"
No, father,
said little Mary, "we have heard quite enough about good
boys."
About a bad one, then?
No, sir, if you please,
said Frank. He was very much afraid if his
father began a story about bad boys, that it might come a great deal too
near home. Histories of bad girls and good girls were also objected to,
and Mr. Goodman cut the dispute short by commencing:
Once upon a time—
That’s the way you always begin,
said Mary.
Well, you wouldn’t have him say ‘_twice_ upon a time,’ would you?
asked Frank, who tried to be thought _smart_, like a great many other
boys that we see. Now if these little folks could only hear with other
people’s ears, how _very_ little wit there is in some of these attempts
to be satirical, we think they would not be so fond of taking up
their
brothers and sisters; and trying to be amusing at the expense of their
neighbours. Mr. Goodman _thought_ all this, but did not say it. He
smiled, and continued his story:
Once upon a time there was a little mischievous—
Boy,
whispered Mary.
Squirrel,
said her father, and Frank laughed with a look of triumph at
Mary, to think he had escaped so nicely.
"Well, this young squirrel felt very large of his age, and was not much
disposed to listen to what his father and mother said to him."
Ho! ho!
shouted Frank—squirrels a-talking!
"The squirrel’s name was Robert, and his playmates called him Bob, for
shortness.
