The Little Girl

THE little girl
Sits on the stool,
And sews the shoe
And beats the sole.

Visitors

THE wolf has come,
The tiger has come,
The old priest follows,
Beating a drum.

Shoe-Maker

HE stitches the heel,
And he stitches the sole,
Two measures of millet he gets for the whole;
They steam it, or fry it,
When hungry they feel,
And he eats with his mother a very good meal.
