Books with title Lazy Matilda and Other Tales

Matilda’s kind to pussy cat, It shows her gratitude for that. “I FEEL ashamed Matilda To see you such a shirk! 8 I really think you’d run a mile To get away from work.” So spoke Matilda’s mother Reprovingly one day, But Mattie only shrugged and sulked And turned her face away. Soon mother left her then alone, The door was open wide. On tip-toes Mattie crossed the floor, And gaily ran outside. She left her room undusted, She left her bed unmade, Indeed she really was a shirk I’m very much afraid.

Excerpt from Lazy Matilda: And Other TalesAbout the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.comThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Example in this ebook“I FEEL ashamed MatildaTo see you such a shirk!I really think you’d run a mileTo get away from work.”So spoke Matilda’s motherReprovingly one day,But Mattie only shrugged and sulkedAnd turned her face away.Soon mother left her then alone,The door was open wide.On tip-toes Mattie crossed the floor,And gaily ran outside.She left her room undusted,She left her bed unmade,Indeed she really was a shirkI’m very much afraid.With joy she gaily scamperedAcross the meadows wide,And chased the pretty butterfliesThat flew from side to side.And on and on she wanderedUntil she reached a wood,And there, deep in the shadowsA little grey house stood.A dwarf was in the doorway,The door stood open wide,A lean and hungry-looking catWas mewing just inside.The old dwarf grinned and beckoned,“Come in, come in,” cried he;“I need a little servant maid,And you will do for me.”“I have no wish to serve you,”Matilda quickly cried.But still the old dwarf beckoned herAnd made her step inside.He made her cook the dinner,He made her work all day.He watched her close, and left no chanceFor her to run away.To be continue in this ebook............................................................................................................................
