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.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. 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. |
