BABY BLUE EYES

One night when the moon was big and round, Baby Blue-eyes was lost. Dear, oh, dear, there was a terrible upset in Babyland!

Said Chubby-face, the Infant Queen, “I’m not going to rest till Blue-eyes is found.”

And starting forth with Rosy-cheeks, her little maid-of-honor, she began her search.

At last—oh, what joy filled her heart!—she found little Blue-eyes fast asleep near a toad-stool!

“We won’t waken her, she is sleeping so sweetly,” she said.

And so the pair of them, (Chubby-face perching herself on the roof of the toad-stool,) kept guard till Blue-eyes awoke with a smile.
