SAMMY AND THE GEESE 
[See Illustration.] 
Little Sammy importuned his mother for 
a long time, to let him take the geese out on 
the meadow to feed. At last, having got 
permission, he marched proudly (Fig. 1) off 
-with them. For a while everything went 
well. But Sammy grew warm and tired, laid 
down (Fig. 2) and fell asleep. The geese 
wandered into a wheat field while Sammy 
was sleeping, and Reynard, the fox, caught 
a fine, fat goose and stole away (Fig. 3) with 
it, highly pleased. Sammy, Btartled by the 
cries of the geese, awoke and tried to drive 
the geese out of the wheat field, when the 
old gander got angry and attacked Sammy 
in the rear, (Fig. 4,) who fled in great terror, 
but in his haste, fell from a small bank into 
the brook, (Fig. 5.) Finally lie recovered 
himself; and to keep his flock together, he 
tied their legs together with a long string. 
But the geese took to wing (Fig. 0) and rose 
in the air. Sammy held firmly to the string, 
but finally fearing be would have to fly away 
with the geese, let go and went home crying, 
and told his grandmother (Fig. 7) how he hud 
watched the geese, and how he had lost them, 
lie felt very bad—of course he did I
