APE AND BOOTS. BOOTS, ah, Boots, I have always seenHow men so gallantly walk therein.For once, I think, I will try them too ;And walk up and down in them, men, like you.Were some of you only here to see,How you would admire and envy me. But hark! in the thicket, a noise, good Ape ;The hunter is coming, and you must escape.Now draw off your boots without delay,And climb through the tall trees, up and away.But the boots are sticky, you cannot flee; No, you re caught, poor Ape, through your vanity. 65 E

BEAR AND BEEHIVE. HERES a beautiful smell! how sweet!Here with honey Im sure to meet;But here all the nasty bees are, too.I should like to learn from some one who knew,Why always they re buzzing about my earsWherever a honey-hive appears. He knew hed found honey, the sly old bear, But a threatening swarm of bees was there ; He calPd up his most courageous mood,— Ill get it, he said, it is so good: Oh, but the little bees stung him sore, Till he grumbled, Ill neer eat honey more. 66 I m: Itflfru. ••• • - WA.
