Excerpt from Number One Joy Street: A Medley of Prose and Verse for Boys and GirlsTom said, I seed a little rabbit with horns on its head I did, and I runned to catch it by its little tail, but the tail corned Off in my hand, and the Duke comed by with gold boots on and said if I would plant the little tail in the beech-mast another little rabbit would grow on it come Michaelmas, and so I did, Grandad, you come and see.But his Grandad didn't come and see; he went instead to the chimney-place where his carpet slippers were warming, and he laid his grandson across his knee, and the slipper said Slap slap I This also offended Tom Cobble. For Tom Cobble saw the world in his own way, and if other people saw it different, he couldn't help that.It was these things which made him get himself stolen by the fairies.He knew how, quite well. He went one evening to the mushroom field before the moon was up, and lay down in the middle of the biggest green ring there without saying his prayers. When the moon came up, the fairies came out and got him.It's no manner of use, Tom Cobble, they said, when he woke up under the Hill. We've got you fast for seven years, and it's no manner of use to cry.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
