﻿DIALOGUE. 



Dialogue. 



OLD MAN, FATHER AND THE CHILDREN. 



Children. OH beautiful ! Just look, papa, 



See what that good old man has got 

 A book all made for little folks ; 

 Pray buy us one, pa, will you not 1 



Father. No no. The world is full of books, 



Ten thousand more than you will read 

 Better to save your money now 

 For what you may hereafter need. 



Old Man. Let me assure you, sir, this book, 

 Made for the little girl and boy, 

 Will prove a faithful friend, indeed, 

 Whose coming will be hailed with joy. 



Give us your name and, if you please, 

 One simple dollar in advance 



And we agree each month to make 

 Those little hearts with joy to dance. 



Stories adapted to their years, 



Fine cuts to please the little eye 



Sweet simple moral lessons too, 

 To teach them how to live and die.
