Once +upon a time there was an English lady in India, where black children +abound and tigers are everyday affairs, who had two little girls. To +amuse these little girls she used now and then to invent stories, +for which, being extremely talented, she also drew and coloured the +pictures. Among these stories LITTLE BLACK SAMBO, which was made up on +a long railway journey, was the favourite; and it has been put into a +DUMPY BOOK, and the pictures copies as exactly as possible, in the hope +that you will like it as much as the two little girls did. + + + + + +THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK SAMBO. + + +Once upon a time there was a little black boy, and his name was Little +Black Sambo. + +And his mother was called Black Mumbo. + +And his father was called Black Jumbo. + +And Black Mumbo made him a beautiful little Red Coat, and a pair of +beautiful little blue trousers. + +And Black Jumbo went to the Bazaar, and bought him a beautiful Green +Umbrella, and a lovely little Pair of Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles +and Crimson Linings. + +And then wasn’t Little Black Sambo grand? + +So he put on all his Fine Clothes, and went out for a walk in the +Jungle. And by and by he met a Tiger. And the Tiger said to him, “Little +Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! +Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my beautiful little +Red Coat.” So the Tiger said, “Very well, I won’t eat you this time, but +you must give me your beautiful little Red Coat.” So the Tiger got poor +Little Black Sambo’s beautiful little Red Coat, and went away saying, +“Now I’m the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.” + +And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger, +and it said to him, “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And +Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and +I’ll give you my beautiful little Blue Trousers.” So the Tiger said, +“Very well, I won’t eat you this time, but you must give me your +beautiful little Blue Trousers.” So the Tiger got poor Little Black +Sambo’s beautiful little Blue Trousers, and went away saying, “Now I’m +the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.” + +And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger, +and it said to him, “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And +Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and +I’ll give you my beautiful little Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and +Crimson Linings.” + +But the Tiger said, “What use would your shoes be to me? I’ve got four +feet, and you’ve got only two; you haven’t got enough shoes for me.” + +But Little Black Sambo said, “You could wear them on your ears.” + +“So I could,” said the Tiger: “that’s a very good idea. Give them to me, +and I won’t eat you this time.” + +So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful little Purple Shoes +with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings, and went away saying, “Now I’m +the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.” + +And by and by Little Black Sambo met another Tiger, and it said to him, +“Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little Black Sambo +said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my +beautiful Green Umbrella.” But the Tiger said, “How can I carry an +umbrella, when I need all my paws for walking with?” + +“You could tie a knot on your tail and carry it that way,” said Little +Black Sambo. “So I could,” said the Tiger. “Give it to me, and I won’t +eat you this time.” So he got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful Green +Umbrella, and went away saying, “Now I’m the grandest Tiger in the +Jungle.” + +And poor Little Black Sambo went away crying, because the cruel Tigers +had taken all his fine clothes. + +Presently he heard a horrible noise that sounded like “Gr-r-r-r-rrrrrr,” + and it got louder and louder. “Oh! dear!” said Little Black Sambo, +“there are all the Tigers coming back to eat me up! What shall I do?” + So he ran quickly to a palm-tree, and peeped round it to see what the +matter was. + +And there he saw all the Tigers fighting, and disputing which of them +was the grandest. And at last they all got so angry that they jumped +up and took off all the fine clothes, and began to tear each other with +their claws, and bite each other with their great big white teeth. + +And they came, rolling and tumbling right to the foot of the very tree +where Little Black Sambo was hiding, but he jumped quickly in behind the +umbrella. And the Tigers all caught hold of each other’s tails, as they +wrangled and scrambled, and so they found themselves in a ring round the +tree. + +Then, when the Tigers were very wee and very far away, Little Black +Sambo jumped up, and called out, “Oh! Tigers! why have you taken off all +your nice clothes? Don’t you want them any more?” But the Tigers only +answered, “Gr-r-rrrr!” + +Then Little Black Sambo said, “If you want them, say so, or I’ll take +them away.” But the Tigers would not let go of each other’s tails, and +so they could only say “Gr-r-r-rrrrrr!” + +So Little Black Sambo put on all his fine clothes again and walked off. + +And the Tigers were very, very angry, but still they would not let go +of each other’s tails. And they were so angry, that they ran round the +tree, trying to eat each other up, and they ran faster and faster, till +they were whirling round so fast that you couldn’t see their legs at +all. + +And they still ran faster and faster and faster, till they all just +melted away, and there was nothing left but a great big pool of melted +butter (or “ghi,” as it is called in India) round the foot of the tree. + +Now Black Jumbo was just coming home from his work, with a great big +brass pot in his arms, and when he saw what was left of all the Tigers +he said, “Oh! what lovely melted butter! I’ll take that home to Black +Mumbo for her to cook with.” + +So he put it all into the great big brass pot, and took it home to Black +Mumbo to cook with. + +When Black Mumbo saw the melted butter, wasn’t she pleased! “Now,” said +she, “we’ll all have pancakes for supper!” + +So she got flour and eggs and milk and sugar and butter, and she made a +huge big plate of most lovely pancakes. And she fried them in the melted +butter which the Tigers had made, and they were just as yellow and brown +as little Tigers. + +And then they all sat down to supper. And Black Mumbo ate Twenty-seven +pancakes, and Black Jumbo ate Fifty-five but Little Black Sambo ate a +Hundred and Sixty-nine, because he was so hungry. + + + + + +THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK MINGO + + +By Helen Bannerman + + + + +Once upon a time there was a little black girl, and her name was Little +Black Mingo. + +She had no father and mother, so she had to live with a horrid cross old +woman called Black Noggy, who used to scold her every day, and sometimes +beat her with a stick, even though she had done nothing naughty. + +One day Black Noggy called her, and said, “Take this chatty {ed. A +chatty is a large ceramic vase used to carry water.} down to the river +and fill it with water, and come back as fast as you can, QUICK NOW!” + +So Little Black Mingo took the chatty and ran down to the river as +fast as she could, and began to fill it with water, when Cr-r-rrrack!!! +Bang!!! A horrible big Mugger {ed. A Mugger is an alligator like +creature.} poked its nose up through the bottom of the chatty and said +“Ha, ha!! Little Mingo, I’m going to eat you up!” + +Little Black Mingo did not say anything. She turned and ran away as fast +as ever she could, and the Mugger ran after her. But the broken chatty +round his neck caught his paws, so he could not overtake her. + +But when she got back to Black Noggy, and told her how the Mugger had +broken the chatty, Black Noggy was fearfully angry. “You naughty girl,” + she said, “you have broken the chatty yourself, I have a good mind to +beat you.” And if she had not been in such a hurry for the water she +WOULD have beaten her. + +Then she went and fetched the great big chatty that the dhobi used to +boil the clothes in. “Take this,” said she, “and mind you don’t break +it, or I WILL beat you.” + +“But I can’t carry that when it is full of water,” said Little Black +Mingo. + +“You must go twice, and bring it half full each time,” said Black Noggy. + +So Little Black Mingo took the dhobi’s great big chatty, and started +again to go to the river. But first she went to a little bank above the +river, and peeped up and down, to see if she could see the old Mugger +anywhere. But she could not see him, for he was hiding under the very +bank she was standing on, and though his tail stuck out a little she +never saw him at all. + +She would have liked to run home, but she was too much afraid that Black +Noggy would beat her. + +So Little Black Mingo crept down to the river, and began to fill the big +chatty with water. And while she was filling it the Mugger came creeping +softly down behind her and caught her by the tail, saying, “Aha, Little +Black Mingo, now I’ve got you.” + +And Little Black Mingo said, “Oh! Please don’t eat me up, great big +Mugger.” + +“What will you give me, if I don’t eat you up?” said the Mugger. But +Little Black Mingo was so poor she had nothing to give. So the Mugger +caught her in his great cruel mouth and swam away with her to an island +in the middle of the river and set her down beside a huge pile of eggs. + +“Those are my eggs,” said he; “to-morrow a little mugger will come out +of each, and then we will have a great feast, and we will eat you up.” + +Then he waddled off to catch fish for himself, and left Little Black +Mingo alone beside the big pile of eggs. + +And Little Black Mingo sat down on a big stone and hid her face in her +hands, and cried bitterly, because she couldn’t swim and she didn’t know +how to get away. + +Presently she heard a queer little squeaky noise that sounded like +“Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!!! Oh Little Black Mingo, help me or I shall be +drowned.” She got up and looked to see what was calling, and she saw +a bush coming floating down the river with something wriggling and +scrambling about in it, and as it came near she saw that it was a +Mongoose that was in the bush. So she waded out as far as she could, and +caught hold of the bush and pulled it in, and the poor Mongoose crawled +up her arm on to her shoulder, and she carried him to shore. + +When they got to shore the Mongoose shook himself, and Little Black +Mingo wrung out her petticoat, and so they both very soon got dry. + +The Mongoose then began to poke about for something to eat, and very +soon he found the great big pile of Mugger’s eggs. “Oh, joy!” said he, +“what’s this?” + +“Those are Mugger’s eggs,” said Little Black Mingo. + +“I’m not afraid of Muggers!” said the Mongoose; and he sat down and +began to crack the eggs, and eat the little muggers as they came out. +And he threw the shells into the water, so that the old Mugger should +not see that any one had been eating them. But he was careless, and he +left one eggshell on the edge, and he was hungry and he ate so many that +the pile got much smaller, and when the old Mugger came back he saw at +once that some one had been meddling with them. + +So he ran to Little Black Mingo, and said, “How dare you eat my eggs?” + +“Indeed, indeed I didn’t,” said Little Black Mingo. + +“Then who could it have been?” said the Mugger, and he ran back to the +eggs as fast as he could, and sure enough when he got back he found the +Mongoose had eaten a whole lot more!! + +Then he said to himself, “I must stay beside my eggs till they are +hatched into little muggers, or the Mongoose will eat them all.” So he +curled himself into a ring round the eggs and went to sleep. + +But while he was asleep the Mongoose came to eat some more of the eggs, +and ate as many as he wanted, and when the Mugger woke this time, oh! +WHAT a rage he was in, for there were only six eggs left! He roared so +loud that all the little muggers inside the shells gnashed their teeth, +and tried to roar too. + +Then he said, “I know what I’ll do, I’ll fetch Little Black Mingo’s big +chatty and cover my eggs with that, then the Mongoose won’t be able to +get at them.” So he swam across to the shore, and fetched the dhobi’s +big chatty, and covered the eggs with it. “Now, you wicked little +Mongoose, come and eat my eggs if you can,” said he, and he went off +quite proud and happy. + +By and by the Mongoose came back, and he was terribly disappointed when +he found the eggs all covered with the big chatty. + +So he ran off to Little Black Mingo, and asked her to help him, and +Little Black Mingo came and took the big chatty off the eggs, and the +Mongoose ate them every one. + +“Now,” said he, “there will be no little muggers to make a feast for +tomorrow.” + +“No,” said Little Black Mingo, “but the Mugger will eat me all by +himself I am afraid.” + +“No he won’t,” said the Mongoose, “for we will sail away together in the +big chatty before he comes back.” + +So he climbed on to the edge of the chatty, and Little Black Mingo +pushed the chatty out into the water, and then she clambered into it and +paddled with her two hands as hard as she could, and the big chatty just +sailed beautifully. + +So they got across safely, and Little Black Mingo filled the chatty +half full of water and took it on her head, and they went up the bank +together. + +But when the Mugger came back, and found only empty egg-shells he was +fearfully angry. He roared and he raged, and he howled and he yelled, +till the whole island shook, and his tears ran down his cheeks and +pattered on the sand like rain. + +So he started to chase Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose, and he swam +across the river as fast as ever he could, and when he was half way +across he saw them landing, and as he landed they hurried over the first +ridge. + +So he raced after them, but they ran, and just before he caught them +they got into the house, and banged the door in his face. Then they shut +all the windows, so he could not get in anywhere. + +“All right,” said he, “you will have to come out some time, and then I +will catch you both, and eat you up.” + +So he hid behind the back of the house and waited. + +Now Black Noggy was just coming home from the bazaar with a tin of +kerosene on her head, and a box of matches in her hand. + +And when he saw her the Mugger rushed out and gobbled her up, kerosene +tin, matches and all!!! + +When Black Noggy found herself in the Muggers’ dark inside, she wanted +to see where she was, so she felt for the match-box and took out a match +and lit it. But the Mugger’s teeth had made holes in the kerosene tin, +so that the flame of the match caught the kerosene, and BANG!! the +kerosene exploded, and blew the old Mugger and Black Noggy into little +bits. + +At the fearful noise Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose came running +out, and there they found Black Noggy and the old Mugger all blown to +bits. + +So Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose got the nice little house for +their very own, and there they lived happy ever after. And Little Black +Mingo got the Mugger’s beard for her seat, and the Mongoose got Black +Noggy’s handkerchief for his. But he was so wee he used to put it on the +Mugger’s nose, and there they sat, and had their tea every evening. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Little Black Sambo, and +The Story of Little Black Mingo, by Helen Bannerman + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 1330 *** diff --git a/1330-h/1330-h.htm b/1330-h/1330-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c3ef7d3 --- /dev/null +++ b/1330-h/1330-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,517 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> + +<!DOCTYPE html + PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" > + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en"> + <head> + <title> + The Story of Little Black Sambo, by Helen Bannerman + </title> + <style type="text/css" xml:space="preserve"> + + body { margin:5%; background:#faebd0; text-align:justify} + P { text-indent: 1em; margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em; } + H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6 { text-align: center; margin-left: 15%; margin-right: 15%; } + hr { width: 50%; text-align: center;} + .foot { margin-left: 20%; margin-right: 20%; text-align: justify; text-indent: -3em; font-size: 90%; } + blockquote {font-size: 97%; font-style: italic; margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%;} + .mynote {background-color: #DDE; color: #000; padding: .5em; margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 95%;} + .toc { margin-left: 10%; margin-bottom: .75em;} + .toc2 { margin-left: 20%;} + div.fig { display:block; margin:0 auto; text-align:center; } + div.middle { margin-left: 20%; margin-right: 20%; text-align: justify; } + .figleft {float: left; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 1%;} + .figright {float: right; margin-right: 0%; margin-left: 1%;} + .pagenum {display:inline; font-size: 70%; font-style:normal; + margin: 0; padding: 0; position: absolute; right: 1%; + text-align: right;} + pre { font-style: italic; font-size: 90%; margin-left: 10%;} + +</style> + </head> + <body> +<div>*** START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 1330 ***</div> + <p> + <br /><br /> + </p> + <h1> + THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK SAMBO + </h1> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <h3> + and + </h3> + <h1> + THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK MINGO + </h1> + <p> + <br /> + </p> + <h2> + By Helen Bannerman + </h2> + <h4> + <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/17824/17824-h/17824-h.htm"> <b>An + illustrated version of this story<br /> may be viewed by clicking on this + message</b>.</a> + </h4> + <p> + <br /> <br /> + </p> + <hr /> + <p> + <br /> <br /> + </p> + <h2> + Contents + </h2> + <table summary="" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto"> + <tr> + <td> + <p class="toc"> + <a href="#link2H_PREF"> PREFACE. </a> + </p> + <p class="toc"> + <a href="#link2H_4_0002"> THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK SAMBO. </a> + </p> + <p class="toc"> + <a href="#link2H_4_0003"> THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK MINGO </a> + </p> + </td> + </tr> + </table> + <p> + <br /> <br /> + </p> + <hr /> + <p> + <br /> <br /> <a name="link2H_PREF" id="link2H_PREF"> + <!-- H2 anchor --> </a> + </p> + <h2> + PREFACE. + </h2> + <p> + There is very little to say about the story of LITTLE BLACK SAMBO.

A chatty + is a large ceramic vase used to carry water.} down to the river and fill + it with water, and come back as fast as you can, QUICK NOW!” + </p> + <p> + So Little Black Mingo took the chatty and ran down to the river as fast as + she could, and began to fill it with water, when Cr-r-rrrack!!! Bang!!! A + horrible big Mugger {ed. A Mugger is an alligator like creature.} poked + its nose up through the bottom of the chatty and said “Ha, ha!! Little + Mingo, I’m going to eat you up!” + </p> + <p> + Little Black Mingo did not say anything. She turned and ran away as fast + as ever she could, and the Mugger ran after her. But the broken chatty + round his neck caught his paws, so he could not overtake her. + </p> + <p> + But when she got back to Black Noggy, and told her how the Mugger had + broken the chatty, Black Noggy was fearfully angry. “You naughty girl,” + she said, “you have broken the chatty yourself, I have a good mind to beat + you.” And if she had not been in such a hurry for the water she WOULD have + beaten her. + </p> + <p> + Then she went and fetched the great big chatty that the dhobi used to boil + the clothes in. “Take this,” said she, “and mind you don’t break it, or I + WILL beat you.” + </p> + <p> + “But I can’t carry that when it is full of water,” said Little Black + Mingo. + </p> + <p> + “You must go twice, and bring it half full each time,” said Black Noggy. + </p> + <p> + So Little Black Mingo took the dhobi’s great big chatty, and started again + to go to the river. But first she went to a little bank above the river, + and peeped up and down, to see if she could see the old Mugger anywhere. + But she could not see him, for he was hiding under the very bank she was + standing on, and though his tail stuck out a little she never saw him at + all. + </p> + <p> + She would have liked to run home, but she was too much afraid that Black + Noggy would beat her. + </p> + <p> + So Little Black Mingo crept down to the river, and began to fill the big + chatty with water. And while she was filling it the Mugger came creeping + softly down behind her and caught her by the tail, saying, “Aha, Little + Black Mingo, now I’ve got you.” + </p> + <p> + And Little Black Mingo said, “Oh! Please don’t eat me up, great big + Mugger.” + </p> + <p> + “What will you give me, if I don’t eat you up?” said the Mugger. But + Little Black Mingo was so poor she had nothing to give. So the Mugger + caught her in his great cruel mouth and swam away with her to an island in + the middle of the river and set her down beside a huge pile of eggs. + </p> + <p> + “Those are my eggs,” said he; “to-morrow a little mugger will come out of + each, and then we will have a great feast, and we will eat you up.” + </p> + <p> + Then he waddled off to catch fish for himself, and left Little Black Mingo + alone beside the big pile of eggs. + </p> + <p> + And Little Black Mingo sat down on a big stone and hid her face in her + hands, and cried bitterly, because she couldn’t swim and she didn’t know + how to get away. + </p> + <p> + Presently she heard a queer little squeaky noise that sounded like + “Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!!! Oh Little Black Mingo, help me or I shall be + drowned.” She got up and looked to see what was calling, and she saw a + bush coming floating down the river with something wriggling and + scrambling about in it, and as it came near she saw that it was a Mongoose + that was in the bush. So she waded out as far as she could, and caught + hold of the bush and pulled it in, and the poor Mongoose crawled up her + arm on to her shoulder, and she carried him to shore. + </p> + <p> + When they got to shore the Mongoose shook himself, and Little Black Mingo + wrung out her petticoat, and so they both very soon got dry. + </p> + <p> + The Mongoose then began to poke about for something to eat, and very soon + he found the great big pile of Mugger’s eggs. “Oh, joy!” said he, “what’s + this?” + </p> + <p> + “Those are Mugger’s eggs,” said Little Black Mingo. + </p> + <p> + “I’m not afraid of Muggers!” said the Mongoose; and he sat down and began + to crack the eggs, and eat the little muggers as they came out. And he + threw the shells into the water, so that the old Mugger should not see + that any one had been eating them. But he was careless, and he left one + eggshell on the edge, and he was hungry and he ate so many that the pile + got much smaller, and when the old Mugger came back he saw at once that + some one had been meddling with them. + </p> + <p> + So he ran to Little Black Mingo, and said, “How dare you eat my eggs?” + </p> + <p> + “Indeed, indeed I didn’t,” said Little Black Mingo. + </p> + <p> + “Then who could it have been?” said the Mugger, and he ran back to the + eggs as fast as he could, and sure enough when he got back he found the + Mongoose had eaten a whole lot more!! + </p> + <p> + Then he said to himself, “I must stay beside my eggs till they are hatched + into little muggers, or the Mongoose will eat them all.” So he curled + himself into a ring round the eggs and went to sleep. + </p> + <p> + But while he was asleep the Mongoose came to eat some more of the eggs, + and ate as many as he wanted, and when the Mugger woke this time, oh! WHAT + a rage he was in, for there were only six eggs left! He roared so loud + that all the little muggers inside the shells gnashed their teeth, and + tried to roar too. + </p> + <p> + Then he said, “I know what I’ll do, I’ll fetch Little Black Mingo’s big + chatty and cover my eggs with that, then the Mongoose won’t be able to get + at them.” So he swam across to the shore, and fetched the dhobi’s big + chatty, and covered the eggs with it. “Now, you wicked little Mongoose, + come and eat my eggs if you can,” said he, and he went off quite proud and + happy. + </p> + <p> + By and by the Mongoose came back, and he was terribly disappointed when he + found the eggs all covered with the big chatty. + </p> + <p> + So he ran off to Little Black Mingo, and asked her to help him, and Little + Black Mingo came and took the big chatty off the eggs, and the Mongoose + ate them every one. + </p> + <p> + “Now,” said he, “there will be no little muggers to make a feast for + tomorrow.” + </p> + <p> + “No,” said Little Black Mingo, “but the Mugger will eat me all by himself + I am afraid.” + </p> + <p> + “No he won’t,” said the Mongoose, “for we will sail away together in the + big chatty before he comes back.” + </p> + <p> + So he climbed on to the edge of the chatty, and Little Black Mingo pushed + the chatty out into the water, and then she clambered into it and paddled + with her two hands as hard as she could, and the big chatty just sailed + beautifully. + </p> + <p> + So they got across safely, and Little Black Mingo filled the chatty half + full of water and took it on her head, and they went up the bank together. + </p> + <p> + But when the Mugger came back, and found only empty egg-shells he was + fearfully angry. He roared and he raged, and he howled and he yelled, till + the whole island shook, and his tears ran down his cheeks and pattered on + the sand like rain. + </p> + <p> + So he started to chase Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose, and he swam + across the river as fast as ever he could, and when he was half way across + he saw them landing, and as he landed they hurried over the first ridge. + </p> + <p> + So he raced after them, but they ran, and just before he caught them they + got into the house, and banged the door in his face. Then they shut all + the windows, so he could not get in anywhere. + </p> + <p> + “All right,” said he, “you will have to come out some time, and then I + will catch you both, and eat you up.” + </p> + <p> + So he hid behind the back of the house and waited. + </p> + <p> + Now Black Noggy was just coming home from the bazaar with a tin of + kerosene on her head, and a box of matches in her hand. + </p> + <p> + And when he saw her the Mugger rushed out and gobbled her up, kerosene + tin, matches and all!!! + </p> + <p> + When Black Noggy found herself in the Muggers’ dark inside, she wanted to + see where she was, so she felt for the match-box and took out a match and + lit it. But the Mugger’s teeth had made holes in the kerosene tin, so that + the flame of the match caught the kerosene, and BANG!! the kerosene + exploded, and blew the old Mugger and Black Noggy into little bits. + </p> + <p> + At the fearful noise Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose came running out, + and there they found Black Noggy and the old Mugger all blown to bits. + </p> + <p> + So Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose got the nice little house for their + very own, and there they lived happy ever after. And Little Black Mingo + got the Mugger’s beard for her seat, and the Mongoose got Black Noggy’s + handkerchief for his. But he was so wee he used to put it on the Mugger’s + nose, and there they sat, and had their tea every evening. + </p> + <p> + <br /><br /><br /><br /> + </p> + <div>*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 1330 ***</div> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.

Once +upon a time there was an English lady in India, where black children +abound and tigers are everyday affairs, who had two little girls. To +amuse these little girls she used now and then to invent stories, +for which, being extremely talented, she also drew and coloured the +pictures. Among these stories LITTLE BLACK SAMBO, which was made up on +a long railway journey, was the favourite; and it has been put into a +DUMPY BOOK, and the pictures copies as exactly as possible, in the hope +that you will like it as much as the two little girls did. + + + + + +THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK SAMBO. + + +Once upon a time there was a little black boy, and his name was Little +Black Sambo. + +And his mother was called Black Mumbo. + +And his father was called Black Jumbo. + +And Black Mumbo made him a beautiful little Red Coat, and a pair of +beautiful little blue trousers. + +And Black Jumbo went to the Bazaar, and bought him a beautiful Green +Umbrella, and a lovely little Pair of Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles +and Crimson Linings. + +And then wasn’t Little Black Sambo grand? + +So he put on all his Fine Clothes, and went out for a walk in the +Jungle. And by and by he met a Tiger. And the Tiger said to him, “Little +Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! +Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my beautiful little +Red Coat.” So the Tiger said, “Very well, I won’t eat you this time, but +you must give me your beautiful little Red Coat.” So the Tiger got poor +Little Black Sambo’s beautiful little Red Coat, and went away saying, +“Now I’m the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.” + +And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger, +and it said to him, “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And +Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and +I’ll give you my beautiful little Blue Trousers.” So the Tiger said, +“Very well, I won’t eat you this time, but you must give me your +beautiful little Blue Trousers.” So the Tiger got poor Little Black +Sambo’s beautiful little Blue Trousers, and went away saying, “Now I’m +the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.” + +And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger, +and it said to him, “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And +Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and +I’ll give you my beautiful little Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and +Crimson Linings.” + +But the Tiger said, “What use would your shoes be to me? I’ve got four +feet, and you’ve got only two; you haven’t got enough shoes for me.” + +But Little Black Sambo said, “You could wear them on your ears.” + +“So I could,” said the Tiger: “that’s a very good idea. Give them to me, +and I won’t eat you this time.” + +So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful little Purple Shoes +with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings, and went away saying, “Now I’m +the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.” + +And by and by Little Black Sambo met another Tiger, and it said to him, +“Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little Black Sambo +said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my +beautiful Green Umbrella.” But the Tiger said, “How can I carry an +umbrella, when I need all my paws for walking with?” + +“You could tie a knot on your tail and carry it that way,” said Little +Black Sambo. “So I could,” said the Tiger. “Give it to me, and I won’t +eat you this time.” So he got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful Green +Umbrella, and went away saying, “Now I’m the grandest Tiger in the +Jungle.” + +And poor Little Black Sambo went away crying, because the cruel Tigers +had taken all his fine clothes. + +Presently he heard a horrible noise that sounded like “Gr-r-r-r-rrrrrr,” + and it got louder and louder. “Oh! dear!” said Little Black Sambo, +“there are all the Tigers coming back to eat me up! What shall I do?” + So he ran quickly to a palm-tree, and peeped round it to see what the +matter was. + +And there he saw all the Tigers fighting, and disputing which of them +was the grandest. And at last they all got so angry that they jumped +up and took off all the fine clothes, and began to tear each other with +their claws, and bite each other with their great big white teeth. + +And they came, rolling and tumbling right to the foot of the very tree +where Little Black Sambo was hiding, but he jumped quickly in behind the +umbrella. And the Tigers all caught hold of each other’s tails, as they +wrangled and scrambled, and so they found themselves in a ring round the +tree. + +Then, when the Tigers were very wee and very far away, Little Black +Sambo jumped up, and called out, “Oh! Tigers! why have you taken off all +your nice clothes? Don’t you want them any more?” But the Tigers only +answered, “Gr-r-rrrr!” + +Then Little Black Sambo said, “If you want them, say so, or I’ll take +them away.” But the Tigers would not let go of each other’s tails, and +so they could only say “Gr-r-r-rrrrrr!” + +So Little Black Sambo put on all his fine clothes again and walked off. + +And the Tigers were very, very angry, but still they would not let go +of each other’s tails. And they were so angry, that they ran round the +tree, trying to eat each other up, and they ran faster and faster, till +they were whirling round so fast that you couldn’t see their legs at +all. + +And they still ran faster and faster and faster, till they all just +melted away, and there was nothing left but a great big pool of melted +butter (or “ghi,” as it is called in India) round the foot of the tree. + +Now Black Jumbo was just coming home from his work, with a great big +brass pot in his arms, and when he saw what was left of all the Tigers +he said, “Oh! what lovely melted butter! I’ll take that home to Black +Mumbo for her to cook with.” + +So he put it all into the great big brass pot, and took it home to Black +Mumbo to cook with. + +When Black Mumbo saw the melted butter, wasn’t she pleased! “Now,” said +she, “we’ll all have pancakes for supper!” + +So she got flour and eggs and milk and sugar and butter, and she made a +huge big plate of most lovely pancakes. And she fried them in the melted +butter which the Tigers had made, and they were just as yellow and brown +as little Tigers. + +And then they all sat down to supper. And Black Mumbo ate Twenty-seven +pancakes, and Black Jumbo ate Fifty-five but Little Black Sambo ate a +Hundred and Sixty-nine, because he was so hungry. + + + + + +THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK MINGO + + +By Helen Bannerman + + + + +Once upon a time there was a little black girl, and her name was Little +Black Mingo. + +She had no father and mother, so she had to live with a horrid cross old +woman called Black Noggy, who used to scold her every day, and sometimes +beat her with a stick, even though she had done nothing naughty. + +One day Black Noggy called her, and said, “Take this chatty {ed. A +chatty is a large ceramic vase used to carry water.} down to the river +and fill it with water, and come back as fast as you can, QUICK NOW!” + +So Little Black Mingo took the chatty and ran down to the river as +fast as she could, and began to fill it with water, when Cr-r-rrrack!!! +Bang!!! A horrible big Mugger {ed. A Mugger is an alligator like +creature.} poked its nose up through the bottom of the chatty and said +“Ha, ha!! Little Mingo, I’m going to eat you up!” + +Little Black Mingo did not say anything. She turned and ran away as fast +as ever she could, and the Mugger ran after her. But the broken chatty +round his neck caught his paws, so he could not overtake her. + +But when she got back to Black Noggy, and told her how the Mugger had +broken the chatty, Black Noggy was fearfully angry. “You naughty girl,” + she said, “you have broken the chatty yourself, I have a good mind to +beat you.” And if she had not been in such a hurry for the water she +WOULD have beaten her. + +Then she went and fetched the great big chatty that the dhobi used to +boil the clothes in. “Take this,” said she, “and mind you don’t break +it, or I WILL beat you.” + +“But I can’t carry that when it is full of water,” said Little Black +Mingo. + +“You must go twice, and bring it half full each time,” said Black Noggy. + +So Little Black Mingo took the dhobi’s great big chatty, and started +again to go to the river. But first she went to a little bank above the +river, and peeped up and down, to see if she could see the old Mugger +anywhere. But she could not see him, for he was hiding under the very +bank she was standing on, and though his tail stuck out a little she +never saw him at all. + +She would have liked to run home, but she was too much afraid that Black +Noggy would beat her. + +So Little Black Mingo crept down to the river, and began to fill the big +chatty with water. And while she was filling it the Mugger came creeping +softly down behind her and caught her by the tail, saying, “Aha, Little +Black Mingo, now I’ve got you.” + +And Little Black Mingo said, “Oh! Please don’t eat me up, great big +Mugger.” + +“What will you give me, if I don’t eat you up?” said the Mugger. But +Little Black Mingo was so poor she had nothing to give. So the Mugger +caught her in his great cruel mouth and swam away with her to an island +in the middle of the river and set her down beside a huge pile of eggs. + +“Those are my eggs,” said he; “to-morrow a little mugger will come out +of each, and then we will have a great feast, and we will eat you up.” + +Then he waddled off to catch fish for himself, and left Little Black +Mingo alone beside the big pile of eggs. + +And Little Black Mingo sat down on a big stone and hid her face in her +hands, and cried bitterly, because she couldn’t swim and she didn’t know +how to get away. + +Presently she heard a queer little squeaky noise that sounded like +“Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!!! Oh Little Black Mingo, help me or I shall be +drowned.” She got up and looked to see what was calling, and she saw +a bush coming floating down the river with something wriggling and +scrambling about in it, and as it came near she saw that it was a +Mongoose that was in the bush. So she waded out as far as she could, and +caught hold of the bush and pulled it in, and the poor Mongoose crawled +up her arm on to her shoulder, and she carried him to shore. + +When they got to shore the Mongoose shook himself, and Little Black +Mingo wrung out her petticoat, and so they both very soon got dry. + +The Mongoose then began to poke about for something to eat, and very +soon he found the great big pile of Mugger’s eggs. “Oh, joy!” said he, +“what’s this?” + +“Those are Mugger’s eggs,” said Little Black Mingo. + +“I’m not afraid of Muggers!” said the Mongoose; and he sat down and +began to crack the eggs, and eat the little muggers as they came out. +And he threw the shells into the water, so that the old Mugger should +not see that any one had been eating them. But he was careless, and he +left one eggshell on the edge, and he was hungry and he ate so many that +the pile got much smaller, and when the old Mugger came back he saw at +once that some one had been meddling with them. + +So he ran to Little Black Mingo, and said, “How dare you eat my eggs?” + +“Indeed, indeed I didn’t,” said Little Black Mingo. + +“Then who could it have been?” said the Mugger, and he ran back to the +eggs as fast as he could, and sure enough when he got back he found the +Mongoose had eaten a whole lot more!! + +Then he said to himself, “I must stay beside my eggs till they are +hatched into little muggers, or the Mongoose will eat them all.” So he +curled himself into a ring round the eggs and went to sleep. + +But while he was asleep the Mongoose came to eat some more of the eggs, +and ate as many as he wanted, and when the Mugger woke this time, oh! +WHAT a rage he was in, for there were only six eggs left!

He roared and he raged, and he howled and he yelled, +till the whole island shook, and his tears ran down his cheeks and +pattered on the sand like rain. + +So he started to chase Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose, and he swam +across the river as fast as ever he could, and when he was half way +across he saw them landing, and as he landed they hurried over the first +ridge. + +So he raced after them, but they ran, and just before he caught them +they got into the house, and banged the door in his face.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/1330-0.zip b/old/1330-0.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e2f0b41 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/1330-0.zip diff --git a/old/1330-h.zip b/old/1330-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..63877e9 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/1330-h.zip diff --git a/old/1330-h/1330-h.htm b/old/1330-h/1330-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..33ec585 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/1330-h/1330-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,920 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> + +<!DOCTYPE html + PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" > + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en"> + <head> + <title> + The Story of Little Black Sambo, by Helen Bannerman + </title> + <style type="text/css" xml:space="preserve"> + + body { margin:5%; background:#faebd0; text-align:justify} + P { text-indent: 1em; margin-top: .25em; margin-bottom: .25em; } + H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6 { text-align: center; margin-left: 15%; margin-right: 15%; } + hr { width: 50%; text-align: center;} + .foot { margin-left: 20%; margin-right: 20%; text-align: justify; text-indent: -3em; font-size: 90%; } + blockquote {font-size: 97%; font-style: italic; margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%;} + .mynote {background-color: #DDE; color: #000; padding: .5em; margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 95%;} + .toc { margin-left: 10%; margin-bottom: .75em;} + .toc2 { margin-left: 20%;} + div.fig { display:block; margin:0 auto; text-align:center; } + div.middle { margin-left: 20%; margin-right: 20%; text-align: justify; } + .figleft {float: left; margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 1%;} + .figright {float: right; margin-right: 0%; margin-left: 1%;} + .pagenum {display:inline; font-size: 70%; font-style:normal; + margin: 0; padding: 0; position: absolute; right: 1%; + text-align: right;} + pre { font-style: italic; font-size: 90%; margin-left: 10%;} + +</style> + </head> + <body> +<pre xml:space="preserve"> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Little Black Sambo, and The +Story of Little Black Mingo, by Helen Bannerman + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Once + upon a time there was an English lady in India, where black children + abound and tigers are everyday affairs, who had two little girls. To amuse + these little girls she used now and then to invent stories, for which, + being extremely talented, she also drew and coloured the pictures. Among + these stories LITTLE BLACK SAMBO, which was made up on a long railway + journey, was the favourite; and it has been put into a DUMPY BOOK, and the + pictures copies as exactly as possible, in the hope that you will like it + as much as the two little girls did. + </p> + <p> + <a name="link2H_4_0002" id="link2H_4_0002"> + <!-- H2 anchor --> </a> + </p> + <div style="height: 4em;"> + <br /><br /><br /><br /> + </div> + <h2> + THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK SAMBO. + </h2> + <p> + Once upon a time there was a little black boy, and his name was Little + Black Sambo. + </p> + <p> + And his mother was called Black Mumbo. + </p> + <p> + And his father was called Black Jumbo. + </p> + <p> + And Black Mumbo made him a beautiful little Red Coat, and a pair of + beautiful little blue trousers. + </p> + <p> + And Black Jumbo went to the Bazaar, and bought him a beautiful Green + Umbrella, and a lovely little Pair of Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and + Crimson Linings. + </p> + <p> + And then wasn’t Little Black Sambo grand? + </p> + <p> + So he put on all his Fine Clothes, and went out for a walk in the Jungle. + And by and by he met a Tiger. And the Tiger said to him, “Little Black + Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please + Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my beautiful little Red + Coat.” So the Tiger said, “Very well, I won’t eat you this time, but you + must give me your beautiful little Red Coat.” So the Tiger got poor Little + Black Sambo’s beautiful little Red Coat, and went away saying, “Now I’m + the grandest Tiger in the Jungle.” + </p> + <p> + And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger, and it + said to him, “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little + Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give + you my beautiful little Blue Trousers.” So the Tiger said, “Very well, I + won’t eat you this time, but you must give me your beautiful little Blue + Trousers.” So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful little + Blue Trousers, and went away saying, “Now I’m the grandest Tiger in the + Jungle.” + </p> + <p> + And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger, and it + said to him, “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little + Black Sambo said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give + you my beautiful little Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and Crimson + Linings.” + </p> + <p> + But the Tiger said, “What use would your shoes be to me? I’ve got four + feet, and you’ve got only two; you haven’t got enough shoes for me.” + </p> + <p> + But Little Black Sambo said, “You could wear them on your ears.” + </p> + <p> + “So I could,” said the Tiger: “that’s a very good idea. Give them to me, + and I won’t eat you this time.” + </p> + <p> + So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful little Purple Shoes + with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings, and went away saying, “Now I’m the + grandest Tiger in the Jungle.” + </p> + <p> + And by and by Little Black Sambo met another Tiger, and it said to him, + “Little Black Sambo, I’m going to eat you up!” And Little Black Sambo + said, “Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up, and I’ll give you my + beautiful Green Umbrella.” But the Tiger said, “How can I carry an + umbrella, when I need all my paws for walking with?” + </p> + <p> + “You could tie a knot on your tail and carry it that way,” said Little + Black Sambo. “So I could,” said the Tiger. “Give it to me, and I won’t eat + you this time.” So he got poor Little Black Sambo’s beautiful Green + Umbrella, and went away saying, “Now I’m the grandest Tiger in the + Jungle.” + </p> + <p> + And poor Little Black Sambo went away crying, because the cruel Tigers had + taken all his fine clothes. + </p> + <p> + Presently he heard a horrible noise that sounded like “Gr-r-r-r-rrrrrr,” + and it got louder and louder. “Oh! dear!” said Little Black Sambo, “there + are all the Tigers coming back to eat me up! What shall I do?” So he ran + quickly to a palm-tree, and peeped round it to see what the matter was. + </p> + <p> + And there he saw all the Tigers fighting, and disputing which of them was + the grandest. And at last they all got so angry that they jumped up and + took off all the fine clothes, and began to tear each other with their + claws, and bite each other with their great big white teeth. + </p> + <p> + And they came, rolling and tumbling right to the foot of the very tree + where Little Black Sambo was hiding, but he jumped quickly in behind the + umbrella. And the Tigers all caught hold of each other’s tails, as they + wrangled and scrambled, and so they found themselves in a ring round the + tree. + </p> + <p> + Then, when the Tigers were very wee and very far away, Little Black Sambo + jumped up, and called out, “Oh! Tigers! why have you taken off all your + nice clothes? Don’t you want them any more?” But the Tigers only answered, + “Gr-r-rrrr!” + </p> + <p> + Then Little Black Sambo said, “If you want them, say so, or I’ll take them + away.” But the Tigers would not let go of each other’s tails, and so they + could only say “Gr-r-r-rrrrrr!” + </p> + <p> + So Little Black Sambo put on all his fine clothes again and walked off. + </p> + <p> + And the Tigers were very, very angry, but still they would not let go of + each other’s tails. And they were so angry, that they ran round the tree, + trying to eat each other up, and they ran faster and faster, till they + were whirling round so fast that you couldn’t see their legs at all. + </p> + <p> + And they still ran faster and faster and faster, till they all just melted + away, and there was nothing left but a great big pool of melted butter (or + “ghi,” as it is called in India) round the foot of the tree. + </p> + <p> + Now Black Jumbo was just coming home from his work, with a great big brass + pot in his arms, and when he saw what was left of all the Tigers he said, + “Oh! what lovely melted butter! I’ll take that home to Black Mumbo for her + to cook with.” + </p> + <p> + So he put it all into the great big brass pot, and took it home to Black + Mumbo to cook with. + </p> + <p> + When Black Mumbo saw the melted butter, wasn’t she pleased! “Now,” said + she, “we’ll all have pancakes for supper!” + </p> + <p> + So she got flour and eggs and milk and sugar and butter, and she made a + huge big plate of most lovely pancakes. And she fried them in the melted + butter which the Tigers had made, and they were just as yellow and brown + as little Tigers. + </p> + <p> + And then they all sat down to supper. And Black Mumbo ate Twenty-seven + pancakes, and Black Jumbo ate Fifty-five but Little Black Sambo ate a + Hundred and Sixty-nine, because he was so hungry. + </p> + <p> + <a name="link2H_4_0003" id="link2H_4_0003"> + <!-- H2 anchor --> </a> + </p> + <div style="height: 4em;"> + <br /><br /><br /><br /> + </div> + <h2> + THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK MINGO + </h2> + <p> + < + </p> + <p> + Once upon a time there was a little black girl, and her name was Little + Black Mingo. + </p> + <p> + She had no father and mother, so she had to live with a horrid cross old + woman called Black Noggy, who used to scold her every day, and sometimes + beat her with a stick, even though she had done nothing naughty. + </p> + <p> + One day Black Noggy called her, and said, “Take this chatty {ed.

But the broken chatty + round his neck caught his paws, so he could not overtake her. + </p> + <p> + But when she got back to Black Noggy, and told her how the Mugger had + broken the chatty, Black Noggy was fearfully angry. “You naughty girl,” + she said, “you have broken the chatty yourself, I have a good mind to beat + you.” And if she had not been in such a hurry for the water she WOULD have + beaten her. + </p> + <p> + Then she went and fetched the great big chatty that the dhobi used to boil + the clothes in. “Take this,” said she, “and mind you don’t break it, or I + WILL beat you.” + </p> + <p> + “But I can’t carry that when it is full of water,” said Little Black + Mingo. + </p> + <p> + “You must go twice, and bring it half full each time,” said Black Noggy. + </p> + <p> + So Little Black Mingo took the dhobi’s great big chatty, and started again + to go to the river. But first she went to a little bank above the river, + and peeped up and down, to see if she could see the old Mugger anywhere. + But she could not see him, for he was hiding under the very bank she was + standing on, and though his tail stuck out a little she never saw him at + all. + </p> + <p> + She would have liked to run home, but she was too much afraid that Black + Noggy would beat her. + </p> + <p> + So Little Black Mingo crept down to the river, and began to fill the big + chatty with water. And while she was filling it the Mugger came creeping + softly down behind her and caught her by the tail, saying, “Aha, Little + Black Mingo, now I’ve got you.” + </p> + <p> + And Little Black Mingo said, “Oh! Please don’t eat me up, great big + Mugger.” + </p> + <p> + “What will you give me, if I don’t eat you up?” said the Mugger. But + Little Black Mingo was so poor she had nothing to give. So the Mugger + caught her in his great cruel mouth and swam away with her to an island in + the middle of the river and set her down beside a huge pile of eggs. + </p> + <p> + “Those are my eggs,” said he; “to-morrow a little mugger will come out of + each, and then we will have a great feast, and we will eat you up.” + </p> + <p> + Then he waddled off to catch fish for himself, and left Little Black Mingo + alone beside the big pile of eggs. + </p> + <p> + And Little Black Mingo sat down on a big stone and hid her face in her + hands, and cried bitterly, because she couldn’t swim and she didn’t know + how to get away. + </p> + <p> + Presently she heard a queer little squeaky noise that sounded like + “Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!!! Oh Little Black Mingo, help me or I shall be + drowned.” She got up and looked to see what was calling, and she saw a + bush coming floating down the river with something wriggling and + scrambling about in it, and as it came near she saw that it was a Mongoose + that was in the bush. So she waded out as far as she could, and caught + hold of the bush and pulled it in, and the poor Mongoose crawled up her + arm on to her shoulder, and she carried him to shore. + </p> + <p> + When they got to shore the Mongoose shook himself, and Little Black Mingo + wrung out her petticoat, and so they both very soon got dry. + </p> + <p> + The Mongoose then began to poke about for something to eat, and very soon + he found the great big pile of Mugger’s eggs. “Oh, joy!” said he, “what’s + this?” + </p> + <p> + “Those are Mugger’s eggs,” said Little Black Mingo. + </p> + <p> + “I’m not afraid of Muggers!” said the Mongoose; and he sat down and began + to crack the eggs, and eat the little muggers as they came out. And he + threw the shells into the water, so that the old Mugger should not see + that any one had been eating them. But he was careless, and he left one + eggshell on the edge, and he was hungry and he ate so many that the pile + got much smaller, and when the old Mugger came back he saw at once that + some one had been meddling with them. + </p> + <p> + So he ran to Little Black Mingo, and said, “How dare you eat my eggs?” + </p> + <p> + “Indeed, indeed I didn’t,” said Little Black Mingo. + </p> + <p> + “Then who could it have been?” said the Mugger, and he ran back to the + eggs as fast as he could, and sure enough when he got back he found the + Mongoose had eaten a whole lot more!! + </p> + <p> + Then he said to himself, “I must stay beside my eggs till they are hatched + into little muggers, or the Mongoose will eat them all.” So he curled + himself into a ring round the eggs and went to sleep. + </p> + <p> + But while he was asleep the Mongoose came to eat some more of the eggs, + and ate as many as he wanted, and when the Mugger woke this time, oh! WHAT + a rage he was in, for there were only six eggs left! He roared so loud + that all the little muggers inside the shells gnashed their teeth, and + tried to roar too. + </p> + <p> + Then he said, “I know what I’ll do, I’ll fetch Little Black Mingo’s big + chatty and cover my eggs with that, then the Mongoose won’t be able to get + at them.” So he swam across to the shore, and fetched the dhobi’s big + chatty, and covered the eggs with it. “Now, you wicked little Mongoose, + come and eat my eggs if you can,” said he, and he went off quite proud and + happy. + </p> + <p> + By and by the Mongoose came back, and he was terribly disappointed when he + found the eggs all covered with the big chatty. + </p> + <p> + So he ran off to Little Black Mingo, and asked her to help him, and Little + Black Mingo came and took the big chatty off the eggs, and the Mongoose + ate them every one. + </p> + <p> + “Now,” said he, “there will be no little muggers to make a feast for + tomorrow.” + </p> + <p> + “No,” said Little Black Mingo, “but the Mugger will eat me all by himself + I am afraid.” + </p> + <p> + “No he won’t,” said the Mongoose, “for we will sail away together in the + big chatty before he comes back.” + </p> + <p> + So he climbed on to the edge of the chatty, and Little Black Mingo pushed + the chatty out into the water, and then she clambered into it and paddled + with her two hands as hard as she could, and the big chatty just sailed + beautifully. + </p> + <p> + So they got across safely, and Little Black Mingo filled the chatty half + full of water and took it on her head, and they went up the bank together. + </p> + <p> + But when the Mugger came back, and found only empty egg-shells he was + fearfully angry. He roared and he raged, and he howled and he yelled, till + the whole island shook, and his tears ran down his cheeks and pattered on + the sand like rain. + </p> + <p> + So he started to chase Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose, and he swam + across the river as fast as ever he could, and when he was half way across + he saw them landing, and as he landed they hurried over the first ridge. + </p> + <p> + So he raced after them, but they ran, and just before he caught them they + got into the house, and banged the door in his face. Then they shut all + the windows, so he could not get in anywhere. + </p> + <p> + “All right,” said he, “you will have to come out some time, and then I + will catch you both, and eat you up.” + </p> + <p> + So he hid behind the back of the house and waited. + </p> + <p> + Now Black Noggy was just coming home from the bazaar with a tin of + kerosene on her head, and a box of matches in her hand. + </p> + <p> + And when he saw her the Mugger rushed out and gobbled her up, kerosene + tin, matches and all!!! + </p> + <p> + When Black Noggy found herself in the Muggers’ dark inside, she wanted to + see where she was, so she felt for the match-box and took out a match and + lit it. But the Mugger’s teeth had made holes in the kerosene tin, so that + the flame of the match caught the kerosene, and BANG!! the kerosene + exploded, and blew the old Mugger and Black Noggy into little bits. + </p> + <p> + At the fearful noise Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose came running out, + and there they found Black Noggy and the old Mugger all blown to bits. + </p> + <p> + So Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose got the nice little house for their + very own, and there they lived happy ever after. And Little Black Mingo + got the Mugger’s beard for her seat, and the Mongoose got Black Noggy’s + handkerchief for his. But he was so wee he used to put it on the Mugger’s + nose, and there they sat, and had their tea every evening. + </p> + <p> + <br /><br /><br /><br /> + </p> +<pre xml:space="preserve"> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Little Black Sambo, and +The Story of Little Black Mingo, by Helen Bannerman + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK SAMBO*** + +***** This file should be named 1330-h.htm or 1330-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/1/3/3/1330/ + +Produced by John Horner, and David Widger + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Once +upon a time there was an English lady in India, where black children +abound and tigers are everyday affairs, who had two little girls. To +amuse these little girls she used now and then to invent stories, +for which, being extremely talented, she also drew and coloured the +pictures. Among these stories LITTLE BLACK SAMBO, which was made up on +a long railway journey, was the favourite; and it has been put into a +DUMPY BOOK, and the pictures copies as exactly as possible, in the hope +that you will like it as much as the two little girls did. + + + + + +THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK SAMBO. + + +Once upon a time there was a little black boy, and his name was Little +Black Sambo. + +And his mother was called Black Mumbo. + +And his father was called Black Jumbo. + +And Black Mumbo made him a beautiful little Red Coat, and a pair of +beautiful little blue trousers. + +And Black Jumbo went to the Bazaar, and bought him a beautiful Green +Umbrella, and a lovely little Pair of Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles +and Crimson Linings. + +And then wasn't Little Black Sambo grand? + +So he put on all his Fine Clothes, and went out for a walk in the +Jungle. And by and by he met a Tiger. And the Tiger said to him, "Little +Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" And Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! +Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat me up, and I'll give you my beautiful little +Red Coat." So the Tiger said, "Very well, I won't eat you this time, but +you must give me your beautiful little Red Coat." So the Tiger got poor +Little Black Sambo's beautiful little Red Coat, and went away saying, +"Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger, +and it said to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" And +Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat me up, and +I'll give you my beautiful little Blue Trousers." So the Tiger said, +"Very well, I won't eat you this time, but you must give me your +beautiful little Blue Trousers." So the Tiger got poor Little Black +Sambo's beautiful little Blue Trousers, and went away saying, "Now I'm +the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger, +and it said to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" And +Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat me up, and +I'll give you my beautiful little Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and +Crimson Linings." + +But the Tiger said, "What use would your shoes be to me? I've got four +feet, and you've got only two; you haven't got enough shoes for me." + +But Little Black Sambo said, "You could wear them on your ears." + +"So I could," said the Tiger: "that's a very good idea. Give them to me, +and I won't eat you this time." + +So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo's beautiful little Purple Shoes +with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings, and went away saying, "Now I'm +the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And by and by Little Black Sambo met another Tiger, and it said to him, +"Little Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" And Little Black Sambo +said, "Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat me up, and I'll give you my +beautiful Green Umbrella." But the Tiger said, "How can I carry an +umbrella, when I need all my paws for walking with?" + +"You could tie a knot on your tail and carry it that way," said Little +Black Sambo. "So I could," said the Tiger. "Give it to me, and I won't +eat you this time." So he got poor Little Black Sambo's beautiful Green +Umbrella, and went away saying, "Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the +Jungle." + +And poor Little Black Sambo went away crying, because the cruel Tigers +had taken all his fine clothes. + +Presently he heard a horrible noise that sounded like "Gr-r-r-r-rrrrrr," +and it got louder and louder. "Oh! dear!" said Little Black Sambo, +"there are all the Tigers coming back to eat me up! What shall I do?" +So he ran quickly to a palm-tree, and peeped round it to see what the +matter was. + +And there he saw all the Tigers fighting, and disputing which of them +was the grandest. And at last they all got so angry that they jumped +up and took off all the fine clothes, and began to tear each other with +their claws, and bite each other with their great big white teeth. + +And they came, rolling and tumbling right to the foot of the very tree +where Little Black Sambo was hiding, but he jumped quickly in behind the +umbrella. And the Tigers all caught hold of each other's tails, as they +wrangled and scrambled, and so they found themselves in a ring round the +tree. + +Then, when the Tigers were very wee and very far away, Little Black +Sambo jumped up, and called out, "Oh! Tigers! why have you taken off all +your nice clothes? Don't you want them any more?" But the Tigers only +answered, "Gr-r-rrrr!" + +Then Little Black Sambo said, "If you want them, say so, or I'll take +them away." But the Tigers would not let go of each other's tails, and +so they could only say "Gr-r-r-rrrrrr!" + +So Little Black Sambo put on all his fine clothes again and walked off. + +And the Tigers were very, very angry, but still they would not let go +of each other's tails. And they were so angry, that they ran round the +tree, trying to eat each other up, and they ran faster and faster, till +they were whirling round so fast that you couldn't see their legs at +all. + +And they still ran faster and faster and faster, till they all just +melted away, and there was nothing left but a great big pool of melted +butter (or "ghi," as it is called in India) round the foot of the tree. + +Now Black Jumbo was just coming home from his work, with a great big +brass pot in his arms, and when he saw what was left of all the Tigers +he said, "Oh! what lovely melted butter! I'll take that home to Black +Mumbo for her to cook with." + +So he put it all into the great big brass pot, and took it home to Black +Mumbo to cook with. + +When Black Mumbo saw the melted butter, wasn't she pleased! "Now," said +she, "we'll all have pancakes for supper!" + +So she got flour and eggs and milk and sugar and butter, and she made a +huge big plate of most lovely pancakes. And she fried them in the melted +butter which the Tigers had made, and they were just as yellow and brown +as little Tigers. + +And then they all sat down to supper. And Black Mumbo ate Twenty-seven +pancakes, and Black Jumbo ate Fifty-five but Little Black Sambo ate a +Hundred and Sixty-nine, because he was so hungry. + + + + + +THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK MINGO + + +By Helen Bannerman + + + + +Once upon a time there was a little black girl, and her name was Little +Black Mingo. + +She had no father and mother, so she had to live with a horrid cross old +woman called Black Noggy, who used to scold her every day, and sometimes +beat her with a stick, even though she had done nothing naughty. + +One day Black Noggy called her, and said, "Take this chatty {ed. A +chatty is a large ceramic vase used to carry water.} down to the river +and fill it with water, and come back as fast as you can, QUICK NOW!" + +So Little Black Mingo took the chatty and ran down to the river as +fast as she could, and began to fill it with water, when Cr-r-rrrack!!! +Bang!!! A horrible big Mugger {ed. A Mugger is an alligator like +creature.} poked its nose up through the bottom of the chatty and said +"Ha, ha!! Little Mingo, I'm going to eat you up!" + +Little Black Mingo did not say anything. She turned and ran away as fast +as ever she could, and the Mugger ran after her. But the broken chatty +round his neck caught his paws, so he could not overtake her. + +But when she got back to Black Noggy, and told her how the Mugger had +broken the chatty, Black Noggy was fearfully angry. "You naughty girl," +she said, "you have broken the chatty yourself, I have a good mind to +beat you." And if she had not been in such a hurry for the water she +WOULD have beaten her. + +Then she went and fetched the great big chatty that the dhobi used to +boil the clothes in. "Take this," said she, "and mind you don't break +it, or I WILL beat you." + +"But I can't carry that when it is full of water," said Little Black +Mingo. + +"You must go twice, and bring it half full each time," said Black Noggy. + +So Little Black Mingo took the dhobi's great big chatty, and started +again to go to the river. But first she went to a little bank above the +river, and peeped up and down, to see if she could see the old Mugger +anywhere. But she could not see him, for he was hiding under the very +bank she was standing on, and though his tail stuck out a little she +never saw him at all. + +She would have liked to run home, but she was too much afraid that Black +Noggy would beat her. + +So Little Black Mingo crept down to the river, and began to fill the big +chatty with water. And while she was filling it the Mugger came creeping +softly down behind her and caught her by the tail, saying, "Aha, Little +Black Mingo, now I've got you." + +And Little Black Mingo said, "Oh! Please don't eat me up, great big +Mugger." + +"What will you give me, if I don't eat you up?" said the Mugger. But +Little Black Mingo was so poor she had nothing to give. So the Mugger +caught her in his great cruel mouth and swam away with her to an island +in the middle of the river and set her down beside a huge pile of eggs. + +"Those are my eggs," said he; "to-morrow a little mugger will come out +of each, and then we will have a great feast, and we will eat you up." + +Then he waddled off to catch fish for himself, and left Little Black +Mingo alone beside the big pile of eggs. + +And Little Black Mingo sat down on a big stone and hid her face in her +hands, and cried bitterly, because she couldn't swim and she didn't know +how to get away. + +Presently she heard a queer little squeaky noise that sounded like +"Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!!! Oh Little Black Mingo, help me or I shall be +drowned." She got up and looked to see what was calling, and she saw +a bush coming floating down the river with something wriggling and +scrambling about in it, and as it came near she saw that it was a +Mongoose that was in the bush. So she waded out as far as she could, and +caught hold of the bush and pulled it in, and the poor Mongoose crawled +up her arm on to her shoulder, and she carried him to shore. + +When they got to shore the Mongoose shook himself, and Little Black +Mingo wrung out her petticoat, and so they both very soon got dry. + +The Mongoose then began to poke about for something to eat, and very +soon he found the great big pile of Mugger's eggs. "Oh, joy!" said he, +"what's this?" + +"Those are Mugger's eggs," said Little Black Mingo. + +"I'm not afraid of Muggers!" said the Mongoose; and he sat down and +began to crack the eggs, and eat the little muggers as they came out. +And he threw the shells into the water, so that the old Mugger should +not see that any one had been eating them. But he was careless, and he +left one eggshell on the edge, and he was hungry and he ate so many that +the pile got much smaller, and when the old Mugger came back he saw at +once that some one had been meddling with them. + +So he ran to Little Black Mingo, and said, "How dare you eat my eggs?" + +"Indeed, indeed I didn't," said Little Black Mingo. + +"Then who could it have been?" said the Mugger, and he ran back to the +eggs as fast as he could, and sure enough when he got back he found the +Mongoose had eaten a whole lot more!! + +Then he said to himself, "I must stay beside my eggs till they are +hatched into little muggers, or the Mongoose will eat them all." So he +curled himself into a ring round the eggs and went to sleep. + +But while he was asleep the Mongoose came to eat some more of the eggs, +and ate as many as he wanted, and when the Mugger woke this time, oh! +WHAT a rage he was in, for there were only six eggs left! He roared so +loud that all the little muggers inside the shells gnashed their teeth, +and tried to roar too. + +Then he said, "I know what I'll do, I'll fetch Little Black Mingo's big +chatty and cover my eggs with that, then the Mongoose won't be able to +get at them." So he swam across to the shore, and fetched the dhobi's +big chatty, and covered the eggs with it. "Now, you wicked little +Mongoose, come and eat my eggs if you can," said he, and he went off +quite proud and happy. + +By and by the Mongoose came back, and he was terribly disappointed when +he found the eggs all covered with the big chatty. + +So he ran off to Little Black Mingo, and asked her to help him, and +Little Black Mingo came and took the big chatty off the eggs, and the +Mongoose ate them every one. + +"Now," said he, "there will be no little muggers to make a feast for +tomorrow." + +"No," said Little Black Mingo, "but the Mugger will eat me all by +himself I am afraid." + +"No he won't," said the Mongoose, "for we will sail away together in the +big chatty before he comes back." + +So he climbed on to the edge of the chatty, and Little Black Mingo +pushed the chatty out into the water, and then she clambered into it and +paddled with her two hands as hard as she could, and the big chatty just +sailed beautifully. + +So they got across safely, and Little Black Mingo filled the chatty +half full of water and took it on her head, and they went up the bank +together. + +But when the Mugger came back, and found only empty egg-shells he was +fearfully angry. He roared and he raged, and he howled and he yelled, +till the whole island shook, and his tears ran down his cheeks and +pattered on the sand like rain. + +So he started to chase Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose, and he swam +across the river as fast as ever he could, and when he was half way +across he saw them landing, and as he landed they hurried over the first +ridge. + +So he raced after them, but they ran, and just before he caught them +they got into the house, and banged the door in his face. Then they shut +all the windows, so he could not get in anywhere. + +"All right," said he, "you will have to come out some time, and then I +will catch you both, and eat you up." + +So he hid behind the back of the house and waited. + +Now Black Noggy was just coming home from the bazaar with a tin of +kerosene on her head, and a box of matches in her hand. + +And when he saw her the Mugger rushed out and gobbled her up, kerosene +tin, matches and all!!! + +When Black Noggy found herself in the Muggers' dark inside, she wanted +to see where she was, so she felt for the match-box and took out a match +and lit it. But the Mugger's teeth had made holes in the kerosene tin, +so that the flame of the match caught the kerosene, and BANG!! the +kerosene exploded, and blew the old Mugger and Black Noggy into little +bits. + +At the fearful noise Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose came running +out, and there they found Black Noggy and the old Mugger all blown to +bits. + +So Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose got the nice little house for +their very own, and there they lived happy ever after. And Little Black +Mingo got the Mugger's beard for her seat, and the Mongoose got Black +Noggy's handkerchief for his. But he was so wee he used to put it on the +Mugger's nose, and there they sat, and had their tea every evening. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Story of Little Black Sambo, and +The Story of Little Black Mingo, by Helen Bannerman + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK SAMBO*** + +***** This file should be named 1330.txt or 1330.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/1/3/3/1330/ + +Produced by John Horner + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN ETEXTS*Ver.04.29.93*END* + + + + + + + + + +Etext provided by John Horner + + + + + +The Story of Little Black Sambo +By Helen Bannerman + + +PREFACE. + +There is very little to say about the story of LITTLE BLACK +SAMBO. Once upon a time there was an English lady in India, +where black children abound and tigers are everyday affairs, +who had two little girls. To amuse these little girls she +used now and then to invent stories, for which, being +extremely talented, she also drew and coloured the pictures. +Among these stories LITTLE BLACK SAMBO, which was made up on a +long railway journey, was the favourite; and it has been put +into a DUMPY BOOK, and the pictures copies as exactly as +possible, in the hope that you will like it as much as the two +little girls did. + + + +The Story of Little Black Sambo. + +Once upon a time there was a little black boy, and his name +was Little Black Sambo. + +And his mother was called Black Mumbo. + +And his father was called Black Jumbo. + +And Black Mumbo made him a beautiful little Red Coat, and a +pair of beautiful little blue trousers. + +And Black Jumbo went to the Bazaar, and bought him a beautiful +Green Umbrella, and a lovely little Pair of Purple Shoes with +Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings. + +And then wasn't Little Black Sambo grand? + +So he put on all his Fine Clothes, and went out for a walk in +the Jungle. And by and by he met a Tiger. And the Tiger said +to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" And +Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat me +up, and I'll give you my beautiful little Red Coat." So the +Tiger said, "Very well, I won't eat you this time, but you +must give me your beautiful little Red Coat." So the Tiger +got poor Little Black Sambo's beautiful little Red Coat, and +went away saying, "Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another +Tiger, and it said to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to +eat you up!" And Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. +Tiger, don't eat me up, and I'll give you my beautiful little +Blue Trousers." So the Tiger said, "Very well, I won't eat +you this time, but you must give me your beautiful little Blue +Trousers." So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo's +beautiful little Blue Trousers, and went away saying, "Now I'M +the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another +Tiger, and it said to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to +eat you up!" And Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. +Tiger, don't eat me up, and I'll give you my beautiful little +Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings." + +But the Tiger said, "What use would your shoes be to me? I've +got four feet, and you've got only two; you haven't got enough +shoes for me." + +But Little Black Sambo said, "You could wear them on your +ears." + +"So I could," said the Tiger: "that's a very good idea. Give +them to me, and I won't eat you this time." + +So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo's beautiful little +Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings, and went +away saying, "Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And by and by Little Black Sambo met another Tiger, and it +said to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" +And Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat +me up, and I'll give you my beautiful Green Umbrella." But +the Tiger said, "How can I carry an umbrella, when I need all +my paws for walking with?" + +"You could tie a knot on your tail and carry it that way," +said Little Black Sambo. "So I could," said the Tiger. " +Give it to me, and I won't eat you this time." So he got poor +Little Black Sambo's beautiful Green Umbrella, and went away +saying, "Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And poor Little Black Sambo went away crying, because the +cruel Tigers had taken all his fine clothes. + +Presently he heard a horrible noise that sounded like "Gr-r-r- +r-rrrrrr," and it got louder and louder. "Oh! dear!" said +Little Black Sambo, "there are all the Tigers coming back to +eat me up! What shall I do?" So he ran quickly to a palm- +tree, and peeped round it to see what the matter was. + +And there he saw all the Tigers fighting, and disputing which +of them was the grandest. And at last they all got so angry +that they jumped up and took off all the fine clothes, and +began to tear each other with their claws, and bite each other +with their great big white teeth. + +And they came, rolling and tumbling right to the foot of the +very tree where Little Black Sambo was hiding, but he jumped +quickly in behind the umbrella. And the Tigers all caught +hold of each other's tails, as they wrangled and scrambled, +and so they found themselves in a ring round the tree. + +Then, when the Tigers were very wee and very far away, Little +Black Sambo jumped up, and called out, "Oh! Tigers! why have +you taken off all your nice clothes? Don't you want them any +more?" But the Tigers only answered, "Gr-r-rrrr!" + +Then Little Black Sambo said, "If you want them, say so, or +I'll take them away." But the Tigers would not let go of each +other's tails, and so they could only say "Gr-r-r-rrrrrr!" + +So Little Black Sambo put on all his fine clothes again and +walked off. + +And the Tigers were very, very angry, but still they would not +let go of each other's tails. And they were so angry, that +they ran round the tree, trying to eat each other up, and they +ran faster and faster, till they were whirling round so fast +that you couldn't see their legs at all. + +And they still ran faster and faster and faster, till they all +just melted away, and there was nothing left but a great big +pool of melted butter (or "ghi," as it is called in India) +round the foot of the tree. + +Now Black Jumbo was just coming home from his work, with a +great big brass pot in his arms, and when he saw what was left +of all the Tigers he said, "Oh! what lovely melted butter! +I'll take that home to Black Mumbo for her to cook with." + +So he put it all into the great big brass pot, and took it +home to Black Mumbo to cook with. + +When Black Mumbo saw the melted butter, wasn't she pleased! +"Now," said she, "we'll all have pancakes for supper!" + +So she got flour and eggs and milk and sugar and butter, and +she made a huge big plate of most lovely pancakes. And she +fried them in the melted butter which the Tigers had made, and +they were just as yellow and brown as little Tigers. + +And then they all sat down to supper. And Black Mumbo ate +Twenty-seven pancakes, and Black Jumbo ate Fifty-five but +Little Black Sambo ate a Hundred and Sixty-nine, because he +was so hungry. + + + + + +The Story of Little Black Mingo +By Helen Bannerman + + + + +Once upon a time there was a little black girl, and her name +was Little Black Mingo. + +She had no father and mother, so she had to live with a +horrid cross old woman called Black Noggy, who used to scold +her every day, and sometimes beat her with a stick, even +though she had done nothing naughty. + +One day Black Noggy called her, and said, "Take this chatty +{ed. A chatty is a large ceramic vase used to carry water.} +down to the river and fill it with water, and come back as +fast as you can, QUICK NOW!" + +So Little Black Mingo took the chatty and ran down to the +river as fast as she could, and began to fill it with water, +when Cr-r-rrrack!!! Bang!!! A horrible big Mugger {ed. A +Mugger is an alligator like creature.} poked its nose up +through the bottom of the chatty and said "Ha, ha!! Little +Mingo, I'm going to eat you up!" + +Little Black Mingo did not say anything. She turned and ran +away as fast as ever she could, and the Mugger ran after +her. But the broken chatty round his neck caught his paws, +so he could not overtake her. + +But when she got back to Black noggy, and told her how the +Mugger had broken the chatty, Black Noggy was fearfully +angry. "You naughty girl," she said, "you have broken the +chatty yourself, I have a good mind to beat you." And if +she had not been in such a hurry for the water she WOULD +have beaten her. + +Then she went and fetched the great big chatty that the +dhobi used to boil the clothes in. "Take this," said she, +"and mind you don't break it, or I WILL beat you." + +"But I can't carry that when it is full of water," said +Little Black Mingo. + +"You must go twice, and bring it half full each time," said +Black Noggy. + +So Little Black Mingo took the dhobi's great big chatty, and +started again to go to the river. But first she went to a +little bank above the river, and peeped up and down, to see +if she could see the old Mugger anywhere. But she could not +see him, for he was hiding under the very bank she was +standing on, and though his tail stuck out a little she +never saw him at all. + +She would have liked to run home, but she was too much +afraid that Black Noggy would beat her. + +So Little Black Mingo crept down to the river, and began to +fill the big chatty with water. And while she was filling +it the Mugger came creeping softly down behind her and +caught her by the tail, saying, "Aha, Little Black Mingo, +now I've got you." + +And Little Black Mingo said, "Oh! Please don't eat me up, +great big Mugger." + +What will you give me, if I don't eat you up?" said the +Mugger. But Little Black Mingo was so poor she had nothing +to give. So the Mugger caught her in his great cruel mouth +and swam away with her to an island in the middle of the +river and set her down beside a huge piles of eggs. + +"Those are my eggs," said he; "to-morrow a little mugger +will come out of each, and then we will have a great feast, +and we will eat you up." + +Then he waddled off to catch fish for himself, and left +Little Black Mingo alone beside the big pile of eggs. + +And Little Black Mingo sat down on a big stone and hid her +face in her hands, and cried bitterly, because she couldn't +swim and she didn't know how to get away. + +Presently she heard a queer little squeaky noise that +sounded like "Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!!! Oh Little Black +Mingo, help me or I shall be drowned." She got up and +looked to see what was calling, and she saw a bush coming +floating down the river with something wriggling and +scrambling about in it, and as it came near she saw that it +was a Mongoose that was in the bush. So she waded out as +far as she could, and caught hold of the bush and pulled it +in, and the poor Mongoose crawled up her arm on to her +shoulder, and she carried him to shore. + +When they got to shore the Mongoose shook himself, and +Little Black Mingo wrung out her petticoat, and so they both +very soon got dry. + +The Mongoose then began to poke about for something to eat, +and very soon he found the great big pile of Mugger's eggs. +"Oh, joy!" said he, "what's this?" + +"Those are Mugger's eggs," said Little Black Mingo. + +"I'm not afraid of Muggers!" said the Mongoose; and he sat +down and began to crack the eggs, and eat the little muggers +as they came out. And he threw the shells into the water, +so that the old Mugger should not see that any one had been +eating them. But he was careless, and he left one eggshell +on the edge, and he was hungry and he ate so many that the +pile got much smaller, and when the old Mugger came back he +saw at once that some one had been meddling with them. + +So he ran to Little Black Mingo, and said, "How dare you eat +my eggs?" + +"Indeed, indeed I didn't," said Little Black Mingo. + +"Then who could it have been?" said the Mugger, and he ran +back to the eggs as fast as he could, and sure enough when +he got back he found the Mongoose had eaten a whole lot +more!! + +Then he said to himself, "I must stay beside my eggs till +they are hatched into little muggers, or the Mongoose will +eat them all." So he curled himself into a ring round the +eggs and went to sleep. + +But while he was asleep the Mongoose came to eat some more +of the eggs, and ate as many as he wanted, and when the +Mugger woke this time, oh! WHAT a rage he was in, for there +were only six eggs left! He roared so loud that all the +little muggers inside the shells gnashed their teeth, and +tried to roar too. + +Then he said, "I know what I'll do, I'll fetch Little Black +Mingo's big chatty and cover my eggs with that, then the +Mongoose won't be able to get at them." So he swam across +to the shore, and fetched the dhobi's big chatty, and +covered the eggs with it. "Now, you wicked little Mongoose, +come and eat my eggs if you can," said he, and he went off +quite proud and happy. + +By and by the Mongoose came back, and he was terribly +disappointed when he found the eggs all covered with the big +chatty. + +So he ran off to Little Black Mingo, and asked her to help +him, and Little Black Mingo came and took the big chatty off +the eggs, and the Mongoose ate them every one. + +"Now," said he, "there will be no little muggers to make a +feast for tomorrow." + +"No," said Little Black Mingo, "but the Mugger will eat me +all by himself I am afraid." + +"No he won't," said the Mongoose, "for we will sail away +together in the big chatty before he comes back." + +So he climbed on to the edge of the chatty, and Little Black +Mingo pushed the chatty out into the water, and then she +clambered into it and paddled with her two hands as hard as +she could, and the big chatty just sailed beautifully. + +So they got across safely, and Little Black Mingo filled the +chatty half full of water and took it on her head, and they +went up the bank together. + +But when the Mugger came back, and found only empty egg- +shells he was fearfully angry. He roared and he raged, and +he howled and he yelled, till the whole island shook, and +his tears ran down his cheeks and pattered on the sand like +rain. + +So he started to chase Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose, +and he swam across the river as fast as ever he could, and +when he was half way across he saw them landing, and as he +landed they hurried over the first ridge. + +So he raced after them, but they ran, and just before he +caught them they got into the house, and banged the door in +his face. Then they shut all the windows, so he could not +get in anywhere. + +"All right," said he, "you will have to come out some time, +and then I will catch you both, and eat you up." + +So he hid behind the back of the house and waited. + +Now Black Noggy was just coming home from the bazaar with a +tin of kerosene on her head, and a box of matches in her +hand. + +And when he saw her the Mugger rushed out and gobbled her +up, kerosene tin, matches and all!!! + +When Black Noggy found herself in the Muggers' dark inside, +she wanted to see where she was, so she felt for the match- +box and took out a match and lit it. But the Mugger's teeth +had made holes in the kerosene tin, so that the flame of the +match caught the kerosene, and BANG!! the kerosene +exploded, and blew the old Mugger and Black noggy into +little bits. + +At the fearful noise Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose +came running out, and there they found Black Noggy and the +old Mugger all blown to bits. + +So Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose got the nice little +house for their very own, and there they lived happy ever +after. And Little Black Mingo got the Mugger's beard for her +seat, and the Mongoose got Black Noggy's handkerchief for +his. But he was so wee he used to put it on the Mugger's +nose, and there they sat, and had their tea every evening. + + + + +End of this +Project Gutenberg Etext of Little Black Sambo by Helen Bannerman +Project Gutenberg Etext of Little Black Mingo by Helen Bannerman + diff --git a/old/old/sambo10.zip b/old/old/sambo10.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..856e431 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/old/sambo10.zip diff --git a/old/old/sambo11.txt b/old/old/sambo11.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d95f0e2 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/old/sambo11.txt @@ -0,0 +1,711 @@ +The Project Gutenberg Etext of The Story of Little Black Sambo +by Helen Bannerman + +Copyright laws are changing all over the world, be sure to check +the laws for your country before redistributing these files!!! + +Please take a look at the important information in this header. +We encourage you to keep this file on your own disk, keeping an +electronic path open for the next readers. + +Please do not remove this. + +This should be the first thing seen when anyone opens the book. +Do not change or edit it without written permission.

[10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion] +This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, +which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users. + +At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third +of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 3,333 Etexts unless we +manage to get some real funding. + +Something is needed to create a future for Project Gutenberg for +the next 100 years. + +We need your donations more than ever! + +Presently, contributions are only being solicited from people in: +Texas, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, +Iowa, Indiana, and Vermont.

FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN ETEXTS*Ver.04.07.00*END* + + + + +Etext provided by John Horner + + + + + +The Story of Little Black Sambo +By Helen Bannerman + + +PREFACE. + +There is very little to say about the story of LITTLE BLACK +SAMBO. Once upon a time there was an English lady in India, +where black children abound and tigers are everyday affairs, +who had two little girls. To amuse these little girls she +used now and then to invent stories, for which, being +extremely talented, she also drew and coloured the pictures. +Among these stories LITTLE BLACK SAMBO, which was made up on a +long railway journey, was the favourite; and it has been put +into a DUMPY BOOK, and the pictures copies as exactly as +possible, in the hope that you will like it as much as the two +little girls did. + + + +The Story of Little Black Sambo. + +Once upon a time there was a little black boy, and his name +was Little Black Sambo. + +And his mother was called Black Mumbo. + +And his father was called Black Jumbo. + +And Black Mumbo made him a beautiful little Red Coat, and a +pair of beautiful little blue trousers. + +And Black Jumbo went to the Bazaar, and bought him a beautiful +Green Umbrella, and a lovely little Pair of Purple Shoes with +Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings. + +And then wasn't Little Black Sambo grand? + +So he put on all his Fine Clothes, and went out for a walk in +the Jungle. And by and by he met a Tiger. And the Tiger said +to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" And +Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat me +up, and I'll give you my beautiful little Red Coat." So the +Tiger said, "Very well, I won't eat you this time, but you +must give me your beautiful little Red Coat." So the Tiger +got poor Little Black Sambo's beautiful little Red Coat, and +went away saying, "Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another +Tiger, and it said to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to +eat you up!" And Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. +Tiger, don't eat me up, and I'll give you my beautiful little +Blue Trousers." So the Tiger said, "Very well, I won't eat +you this time, but you must give me your beautiful little Blue +Trousers." So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo's +beautiful little Blue Trousers, and went away saying, "Now I'm +the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another +Tiger, and it said to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to +eat you up!" And Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. +Tiger, don't eat me up, and I'll give you my beautiful little +Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings." + +But the Tiger said, "What use would your shoes be to me? I've +got four feet, and you've got only two; you haven't got enough +shoes for me." + +But Little Black Sambo said, "You could wear them on your +ears." + +"So I could," said the Tiger: "that's a very good idea. Give +them to me, and I won't eat you this time." + +So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo's beautiful little +Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings, and went +away saying, "Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And by and by Little Black Sambo met another Tiger, and it +said to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" +And Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat +me up, and I'll give you my beautiful Green Umbrella." But +the Tiger said, "How can I carry an umbrella, when I need all +my paws for walking with?" + +"You could tie a knot on your tail and carry it that way," +said Little Black Sambo. "So I could," said the Tiger." +Give it to me, and I won't eat you this time." So he got poor +Little Black Sambo's beautiful Green Umbrella, and went away +saying, "Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle." + +And poor Little Black Sambo went away crying, because the +cruel Tigers had taken all his fine clothes. + +Presently he heard a horrible noise that sounded like "Gr-r-r- +r-rrrrrr," and it got louder and louder. "Oh! dear!" said +Little Black Sambo, "there are all the Tigers coming back to +eat me up! What shall I do?" So he ran quickly to a palm- +tree, and peeped round it to see what the matter was. + +And there he saw all the Tigers fighting, and disputing which +of them was the grandest. And at last they all got so angry +that they jumped up and took off all the fine clothes, and +began to tear each other with their claws, and bite each other +with their great big white teeth. + +And they came, rolling and tumbling right to the foot of the +very tree where Little Black Sambo was hiding, but he jumped +quickly in behind the umbrella. And the Tigers all caught +hold of each other's tails, as they wrangled and scrambled, +and so they found themselves in a ring round the tree. + +Then, when the Tigers were very wee and very far away, Little +Black Sambo jumped up, and called out, "Oh! Tigers! why have +you taken off all your nice clothes? Don't you want them any +more?" But the Tigers only answered, "Gr-r-rrrr!" + +Then Little Black Sambo said, "If you want them, say so, or +I'll take them away." But the Tigers would not let go of each +other's tails, and so they could only say "Gr-r-r-rrrrrr!" + +So Little Black Sambo put on all his fine clothes again and +walked off. + +And the Tigers were very, very angry, but still they would not +let go of each other's tails. And they were so angry, that +they ran round the tree, trying to eat each other up, and they +ran faster and faster, till they were whirling round so fast +that you couldn't see their legs at all. + +And they still ran faster and faster and faster, till they all +just melted away, and there was nothing left but a great big +pool of melted butter (or "ghi," as it is called in India) +round the foot of the tree. + +Now Black Jumbo was just coming home from his work, with a +great big brass pot in his arms, and when he saw what was left +of all the Tigers he said, "Oh! what lovely melted butter! +I'll take that home to Black Mumbo for her to cook with." + +So he put it all into the great big brass pot, and took it +home to Black Mumbo to cook with. + +When Black Mumbo saw the melted butter, wasn't she pleased! +"Now," said she, "we'll all have pancakes for supper!" + +So she got flour and eggs and milk and sugar and butter, and +she made a huge big plate of most lovely pancakes. And she +fried them in the melted butter which the Tigers had made, and +they were just as yellow and brown as little Tigers. + +And then they all sat down to supper. And Black Mumbo ate +Twenty-seven pancakes, and Black Jumbo ate Fifty-five but +Little Black Sambo ate a Hundred and Sixty-nine, because he +was so hungry. + + + + + +The Story of Little Black Mingo +By Helen Bannerman + + + + +Once upon a time there was a little black girl, and her name +was Little Black Mingo. + +She had no father and mother, so she had to live with a +horrid cross old woman called Black Noggy, who used to scold +her every day, and sometimes beat her with a stick, even +though she had done nothing naughty. + +One day Black Noggy called her, and said, "Take this chatty +{ed. A chatty is a large ceramic vase used to carry water.} +down to the river and fill it with water, and come back as +fast as you can, QUICK NOW!" + +So Little Black Mingo took the chatty and ran down to the +river as fast as she could, and began to fill it with water, +when Cr-r-rrrack!!! Bang!!! A horrible big Mugger {ed. A +Mugger is an alligator like creature.} poked its nose up +through the bottom of the chatty and said "Ha, ha!! Little +Mingo, I'm going to eat you up!" + +Little Black Mingo did not say anything. She turned and ran +away as fast as ever she could, and the Mugger ran after +her. But the broken chatty round his neck caught his paws, +so he could not overtake her. + +But when she got back to Black Noggy, and told her how the +Mugger had broken the chatty, Black Noggy was fearfully +angry. "You naughty girl," she said, "you have broken the +chatty yourself, I have a good mind to beat you." And if +she had not been in such a hurry for the water she WOULD +have beaten her. + +Then she went and fetched the great big chatty that the +dhobi used to boil the clothes in. "Take this," said she, +"and mind you don't break it, or I WILL beat you." + +"But I can't carry that when it is full of water," said +Little Black Mingo. + +"You must go twice, and bring it half full each time," said +Black Noggy. + +So Little Black Mingo took the dhobi's great big chatty, and +started again to go to the river. But first she went to a +little bank above the river, and peeped up and down, to see +if she could see the old Mugger anywhere. But she could not +see him, for he was hiding under the very bank she was +standing on, and though his tail stuck out a little she +never saw him at all. + +She would have liked to run home, but she was too much +afraid that Black Noggy would beat her. + +So Little Black Mingo crept down to the river, and began to +fill the big chatty with water. And while she was filling +it the Mugger came creeping softly down behind her and +caught her by the tail, saying, "Aha, Little Black Mingo, +now I've got you." + +And Little Black Mingo said, "Oh! Please don't eat me up, +great big Mugger." + +"What will you give me, if I don't eat you up?" said the +Mugger. But Little Black Mingo was so poor she had nothing +to give. So the Mugger caught her in his great cruel mouth +and swam away with her to an island in the middle of the +river and set her down beside a huge pile of eggs. + +"Those are my eggs," said he; "to-morrow a little mugger +will come out of each, and then we will have a great feast, +and we will eat you up." + +Then he waddled off to catch fish for himself, and left +Little Black Mingo alone beside the big pile of eggs. + +And Little Black Mingo sat down on a big stone and hid her +face in her hands, and cried bitterly, because she couldn't +swim and she didn't know how to get away. + +Presently she heard a queer little squeaky noise that +sounded like "Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!!! Oh Little Black +Mingo, help me or I shall be drowned." She got up and +looked to see what was calling, and she saw a bush coming +floating down the river with something wriggling and +scrambling about in it, and as it came near she saw that it +was a Mongoose that was in the bush. So she waded out as +far as she could, and caught hold of the bush and pulled it +in, and the poor Mongoose crawled up her arm on to her +shoulder, and she carried him to shore. + +When they got to shore the Mongoose shook himself, and +Little Black Mingo wrung out her petticoat, and so they both +very soon got dry. + +The Mongoose then began to poke about for something to eat, +and very soon he found the great big pile of Mugger's eggs. +"Oh, joy!" said he, "what's this?" + +"Those are Mugger's eggs," said Little Black Mingo. + +"I'm not afraid of Muggers!" said the Mongoose; and he sat +down and began to crack the eggs, and eat the little muggers +as they came out. And he threw the shells into the water, +so that the old Mugger should not see that any one had been +eating them. But he was careless, and he left one eggshell +on the edge, and he was hungry and he ate so many that the +pile got much smaller, and when the old Mugger came back he +saw at once that some one had been meddling with them. + +So he ran to Little Black Mingo, and said, "How dare you eat +my eggs?" + +"Indeed, indeed I didn't," said Little Black Mingo. + +"Then who could it have been?" said the Mugger, and he ran +back to the eggs as fast as he could, and sure enough when +he got back he found the Mongoose had eaten a whole lot +more!! + +Then he said to himself, "I must stay beside my eggs till +they are hatched into little muggers, or the Mongoose will +eat them all." So he curled himself into a ring round the +eggs and went to sleep. + +But while he was asleep the Mongoose came to eat some more +of the eggs, and ate as many as he wanted, and when the +Mugger woke this time, oh! WHAT a rage he was in, for there +were only six eggs left! He roared so loud that all the +little muggers inside the shells gnashed their teeth, and +tried to roar too. + +Then he said, "I know what I'll do, I'll fetch Little Black +Mingo's big chatty and cover my eggs with that, then the +Mongoose won't be able to get at them." So he swam across +to the shore, and fetched the dhobi's big chatty, and +covered the eggs with it. "Now, you wicked little Mongoose, +come and eat my eggs if you can," said he, and he went off +quite proud and happy. + +By and by the Mongoose came back, and he was terribly +disappointed when he found the eggs all covered with the big +chatty. + +So he ran off to Little Black Mingo, and asked her to help +him, and Little Black Mingo came and took the big chatty off +the eggs, and the Mongoose ate them every one. + +"Now," said he, "there will be no little muggers to make a +feast for tomorrow." + +"No," said Little Black Mingo, "but the Mugger will eat me +all by himself I am afraid." + +"No he won't," said the Mongoose, "for we will sail away +together in the big chatty before he comes back." + +So he climbed on to the edge of the chatty, and Little Black +Mingo pushed the chatty out into the water, and then she +clambered into it and paddled with her two hands as hard as +she could, and the big chatty just sailed beautifully. + +So they got across safely, and Little Black Mingo filled the +chatty half full of water and took it on her head, and they +went up the bank together. + +But when the Mugger came back, and found only empty egg- +shells he was fearfully angry. He roared and he raged, and +he howled and he yelled, till the whole island shook, and +his tears ran down his cheeks and pattered on the sand like +rain. + +So he started to chase Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose, +and he swam across the river as fast as ever he could, and +when he was half way across he saw them landing, and as he +landed they hurried over the first ridge. + +So he raced after them, but they ran, and just before he +caught them they got into the house, and banged the door in +his face. Then they shut all the windows, so he could not +get in anywhere. + +"All right," said he, "you will have to come out some time, +and then I will catch you both, and eat you up." + +So he hid behind the back of the house and waited. + +Now Black Noggy was just coming home from the bazaar with a +tin of kerosene on her head, and a box of matches in her +hand. + +And when he saw her the Mugger rushed out and gobbled her +up, kerosene tin, matches and all!!! + +When Black Noggy found herself in the Muggers' dark inside, +she wanted to see where she was, so she felt for the match- +box and took out a match and lit it. But the Mugger's teeth +had made holes in the kerosene tin, so that the flame of the +match caught the kerosene, and BANG!! the kerosene +exploded, and blew the old Mugger and Black Noggy into +little bits. + +At the fearful noise Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose +came running out, and there they found Black Noggy and the +old Mugger all blown to bits. + +So Little Black Mingo and the Mongoose got the nice little +house for their very own, and there they lived happy ever +after. And Little Black Mingo got the Mugger's beard for her +seat, and the Mongoose got Black Noggy's handkerchief for +his. But he was so wee he used to put it on the Mugger's +nose, and there they sat, and had their tea every evening. + + + +End of The Project Gutenberg Etext of The Story of Little Black Sambo +by Helen Bannerman + diff --git a/old/old/sambo11.zip b/old/old/sambo11.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..71ab365 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/old/sambo11.zip |
