We will go to France. +We will see some of the world besides +home.</p> + +<p>Bring your hat. Good-bye, Papa. +Farewell, Billy, and Harry, and every +body. We are going a great way +off. And we shall go down the lane, +and through the church-yard and by +the corner-house, and over the stile,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span> +till we have got quite into the fields. +How pretty the fields will look! for +it will be summer days again before +we go. And there will be yellow +flowers, and white flowers, and grass, +and trees, and hedges; and the grasshoppers, +will chirp, chirp, under our +feet. Do not try to catch them; it +will only hinder us, and we have a +great way to go.</p> + +<p>Pray what are those pretty creatures +that look so meek and good-natured, +and have soft thick white +wool upon their backs, like a greatcoat, +and make a noise like the little +baby when it cries? Those are sheep<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span> +and lambs. And what are those creatures +with horns, that are bigger than +the sheep? Some of them are black, +and some red: they make a loud +noise, but they do not look as if they +would hurt any body. Those are +cows that give milk. Stroke them. +Poor cows! stand still and look back. +Now we cannot see papa's house at +all; and we can see only the top of +the church steeple. Let us go a little +farther. Now look back. Now +we cannot see the church at all. +Farewell! We are going a great +way. Shall we ever come back again? +Yes, we shall come back again; but<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span> +we must go on now. Come, make +haste.</p> + +<p>What is that tall thing that has +four great arms which move very fast? +I believe, if I was near it, they would +strike me down. It is a wind-mill. +Those arms are the sails. The wind +turns them round. And what is a +wind-mill for? It is to grind corn. +You could have no bread if the corn +were not ground. Well, but here is +a river; how shall we do to get over +it? Why, do you not see how those +ducks do? they swim over. But I +cannot swim. Then you must learn +to swim, I believe: it is too wide to<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span> +jump over. O, here is a Bridge! +Somebody has made a bridge for us +quite over the river. That somebody +was very good, for I do not know +what we should have done without it; +and he was very clever too. I wonder +how he made it. I am sure I +could not make such a bridge.</p> + +<div class="figcenter bord" style="width: 350px;"> + <a name="p013-illus.jpg" id="p013-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p013-illus.jpg" width="350" height="266" alt="View of the river" title="" /> + <p class="caption2">Well, but here is a river.—<i>Page 12.</i></p> +</div> + +<p>Well, we must go on, on, on; and +we shall see more rivers, and more +fields, and towns bigger than our town +a great deal—large towns, and fine +churches, streets, and people—more +than there is at the fair. And we +shall have a great many high hills to +climb. I believe I must get somebody<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span> +to carry the little boy up those +high hills. And sometimes we shall go +through dusty sandy roads; and sometimes +through green lanes, where we +shall hear the birds sing.</p> + +<div class="figcenter bord" style="width: 250px;"> + <a name="p016-illus.jpg" id="p016-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p016-illus.jpg" width="250" height="185" alt="A view" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>Sometimes we shall go over wide +commons, where we shall see no trees, +nor any house; and large heaths,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span> +where there is hardly any grass—only +some purple flowers, and a few black +nosed little sheep. Ha! did you see +that pretty brown creature that ran +across the path? Here is another; +and look! there is another; there are +a great many. They are rabbits. +They live here, and make themselves +houses in the ground. This is a rabbit-warren.</p> + +<p>Now we are come amongst a great +many trees—more trees than there +are in the orchard by a great many, +and taller trees. There is oak, and +ash, and elm. This is a wood. What +great boughs the trees have! like thick<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span> +arms. The sun cannot shine amongst +the trees, they are so thick. Look, +there is a squirrel! Jumping from +one tree to another. He is very nimble. +What a pretty tail he has!</p> + +<p>Well; when we have gone on a +great many days, through a great +many fields and towns, we shall come +to a great deep water, bigger a great +many times than the river, for you +can see over the river, you know—you +can see fields on the other side; +but this is so large, and so wide, you +can see nothing but water, water, as +far as ever you can carry your eyes. +And it is not smooth, like the river;<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</a></span> +it is all rough, like the great pot in +the kitchen when it is boiling; and it is +so deep, it would drown you, if you +were as tall as two church steeples. +I wonder what they call this great +water? There is an old fisherman +sitting upon a stone drying himself; +for he is very wet. I think we will +ask him. Pray, fisherman, what is +this great water? It is the sea: did +you never hear of the sea? What! +is this great water the same sea that +is on our map at home? Yes, it is. +Well, this is very strange! we are +come to the sea that is in our map. +But it is very little in the map. I<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</a></span> +can lay my finger over it. Yes; it +is little in the map, because every +thing is little in the map, the towns +are little, and the houses are little.</p> + +<p>Pray, fisherman, is there any thing +on the other side of this sea? Yes; +fields, and towns, and people. Will +you go and see them? I should like +to go very well; but how must we +do to get over? for there is no bridge +here. Do not you see those great +wooden boxes that swim upon the water? +They are bigger than all papa's +house. There are tall poles in the +middle, as high as a tree. Those are +masts. See! now they are spreading<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[Pg 21]</a></span> +the sails. Those white sheets are the +sails. They are like wings. These +wooden boxes are like houses with +wings. Yes, and I will tell you what, +little boy! they are made on purpose +to go over the sea; and the wind +blows them along faster than a horse +can trot. What do they call them? +They call them ships. You have seen +a ship in a picture. Shall we get in? +What have those men in the ship got +on? They have jackets and trowsers +on, and checked shirts. They are +sailors. I think we will make you a +sailor; and then instead of breeches +you must have a pair of trowsers. Do<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</a></span> +you see that sailor, how he climbs up +the ropes? He runs up like a monkey. +Now he is at the top of the +mast. How little he looks! but we +must get in. Come, make haste: +they will not stay for us. What are +you doing? picking up shells! We +must get into a boat first, because the +ship is not near enough. Now we are +in.</p> + +<p>Now we are upon the great sea. +Blow, blow, wind! Sail away, ship! +There are little rooms in the ship. +Those little rooms are called cabins. +Let us walk about, and look at the +ship. Why, you cannot walk steady;<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span> +I am afraid you are tipsy! because +the ship rolls about. But the sailors +can walk steady. The sea is not like +the river; it is greenish. Well, here +is water enough if we should be +thirsty. Yes, here is water enough; +but you would not like to drink it. +It is salt and bitter. You could not +drink it. How fast we go! Now the +fields are a great way off. Now we +cannot see any green fields at all, nor +any houses, nor any thing but the great +deep water. It is water, all round as +far as ever we can see. Yes, and sky; +we can see the sky too. All sky over +our heads, and all water every where<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span> +round us! Do not be afraid, little +boy! blow, blow, wind! sail away, +ship! I see some things in the sea at +a great distance. Those are more +ships and boats. How very small +they are! they look like nut shells in +a great pond. O, now we are coming +to the green fields and towns on +the other side of the sea! I can see +them a little. Now I can see them +very plain. And here is a little piece +of green land, with the water running +all round it. That is an island. A +piece of land with water all round it, +is an island. But we are not going +there; we are going to the great land.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span>Now we are at the land. Get out +of the ship. Pray, what country is +this? This is France. France! +why France is in the map too.</p> + +<p>And pray what is the name of that +country we came from, where we live, +and where papa lives? It is England. +And the deep sea is between +France and England? Yes, you +know it is so in the map.</p> + +<div class="figcenter bord" style="width: 350px;"> + <a name="p029-illus.jpg" id="p029-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p029-illus.jpg" width="350" height="251" alt="A ship arriving" title="" /> + <p class="caption2">THE SHIP CHARLES CAME HOME IN.</p> +</div> + +<p>O, France is a pretty place! it is +warmer than our country: and here +are pretty flowers and fine fruit, and +large grapes.

Pray what +was his name? Nay, indeed, I shall +not tell you his name; for I am<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_40" id="Page_40">[Pg 40]</a></span> +ashamed of him. Well, he was much +afraid of dogs, too: he always cried if +a dog barked, and ran away, and took +hold of his mamma's apron like a +baby. What a foolish fellow he was! +for the dogs do not hurt, you know; +they love little boys and play with +them. Did you ever see a dog eat up +a little boy? No, never, I dare say. +Well; so this simple little boy was +walking by himself one day, and a +pretty black dog came out of a house, +and said, bow, wow, bow, wow; and +came to the little boy, and jumped +upon him, and wanted to play with +him; but the little boy ran away.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_41" id="Page_41">[Pg 41]</a></span> +The dog ran after him, and cried +louder, bow, bow, wow; but he only +meant to say, Good-morrow, how do +you do? but this little boy was sadly +frightened, and ran away as fast as +ever he could, without looking before +him, and he tumbled into a very dirty +ditch, and there he lay crying at the +bottom of the ditch, for he could not +get out: and I believe he would have +laid there all day, but the dog was so +good-natured that he went to the +house where the little boy lived, on +purpose to tell them where he was. +So, when he came to the house, he +scratched at the door, and said, Bow,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[Pg 42]</a></span> +wow; for he could not speak any +plainer. So they opened the door.</p> + +<p>What do you want, you black dog? +We do not know you. Then the dog +went to Ralph the servant, and pulled +him by the coat, and pulled him till +he brought him to the ditch; and the +dog and Ralph together got the little +boy out of the ditch; but he was all +over mud, and quite wet, and every +body laughed at him because he was +a coward.</p> + +<p>Now, Charles, my pen is tired, I +cannot write any more at present; +but if you are a good boy, perhaps I +may write you some more stories +another time.

There was once a shepherd, +who had a great many sheep and +lambs. He took a great deal of care +of them, and gave them sweet fresh +grass to eat, and clear water to drink; +and if they were sick he was very +good to them, and when they climbed +up a steep hill, and the lambs were +tired, he used to carry them in his<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_64" id="Page_64">[Pg 64]</a></span> +arms; and when they were all eating +their suppers in the field, he used to +sit upon a stile, and play them a tune, +and sing to them; and so they were +the happiest sheep and lambs in the +whole world. But every night this +shepherd used to pen them up in a +fold. Do you know what a sheepfold +is? Well, I will tell you. It +is a place like the court; but instead +of pales there are hurdles, which are +made of sticks that will bend, such +as osier twigs; and they are twisted +and made very fast, so that nothing +can creep in, and nothing can get out. +Well, and so every night, when it<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_65" id="Page_65">[Pg 65]</a></span> +grew dark and cold, the shepherd +called all his flock, sheep and lambs, +together, and drove them into the fold, +and penned them up, and there they +lay, as snug and warm and as comfortable +as could be, and nothing +could get into and hurt them, and the +dogs lay round on the outside to +guard them, and to bark if any body +came near; and in the morning the +shepherd unpenned the fold, and let +them all out again.</p> + +<p>Now they were all very happy, as I +told you, and loved the shepherd dearly +that was so good to them—all except +one foolish little lamb. And this<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_66" id="Page_66">[Pg 66]</a></span> +lamb did not like to be shut up every +night in the fold; and she came to +her mother, who was a wise old sheep, +and said to her, I wonder why we are +shut up so every night! the dogs are +not shut up, and why should we be +shut up? I think it is very hard, +and I will get away if I can, I am +resolved, for I like to run about where +I please, and I think it is very pleasant +in the woods by moonlight. Then +the old sheep said to her, you are +very silly, you little lamb, you had +better stay in the fold. The shepherd +is so good to us, that we should always +do as he bids us; and if you<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_67" id="Page_67">[Pg 67]</a></span> +wander about by yourself, I dare say +you will come to some harm. I dare +say not, said the little lamb: and so +when the evening came, and the shepherd +called them all to come into the +fold, she would not come, but crept +slily under a hedge and hid herself; +and when the rest of the lambs were +all in the fold and fast asleep, she came +out and jumped, and frisked, and +danced about; and she got out of the +field, and got into a forest full of trees, +and a very fierce wolf came rushing +out of a cave and howled very loud. +Then the silly lamb wished she had +been shut up in the fold; but the fold<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_68" id="Page_68">[Pg 68]</a></span> +was a great way off,—and the wolf +saw her, and seized her, and carried +her away to a dismal dark den, all +covered with bones and blood; and +there the wolf had two cubs, and the +wolf said to them, Here, I have brought +you a young fat lamb—and so the +cubs took her, and growled over her a +little while, and then tore her to pieces, +and ate her up.</p> + +<div class="figcenter bord" style="width: 250px;"> + <a name="p068-illus.jpg" id="p068-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p068-illus.jpg" width="250" height="199" alt="An acorn" title="" /> +</div> + + +<hr /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_70" id="Page_70">[Pg 70]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter bord" style="width: 350px;"> + <a name="p070-illus.jpg" id="p070-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p070-illus.jpg" width="350" height="348" alt="Animals running" title="" /> +</div> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_71" id="Page_71">[Pg 71]</a></span></p> +<h2>LUCY AND HER LAMB.</h2> + +<div class="poem"> +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">Lucy had a little lamb,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">Its fleece was white as snow,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">And every where that Lucy went,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">The lamb was sure to go.<br /></span> +</div> + +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">He followed her to school one day;<br /></span> +<span class="i1">That was against the rule;<br /></span> +<span class="i0">It made the children laugh and play,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">To see the lamb at school.<br /></span> +</div> + +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_72" id="Page_72">[Pg 72]</a></span> + <span class="i0">And so the teacher turned him out,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">But still he lingered near:<br /></span> +<span class="i0">And waited patiently about,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">Till Lucy did appear.<br /></span> +</div> + +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">And then he ran to her, and laid<br /></span> +<span class="i1">His head upon her arm,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">As if he said, "I'm not afraid;<br /></span> +<span class="i1">You'll shield me from all harm."<br /></span> +</div> + +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">"What makes the lamb love Lucy so?"<br /></span> +<span class="i1">The little children cried;<br /></span> +<span class="i0">"Because she loves the lamb, you know,"<br /></span> +<span class="i1">The teacher quick replied.<br /></span> +</div> + +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">"And you, each gentle animal,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">In confidence may bind,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">And make them follow at your call,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">If you are always kind."<br /></span> +</div> +</div> + + +<hr /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_74" id="Page_74">[Pg 74]</a></span></p> + +<h2>UNCLE THOMAS' STORIES FOR</h2> +<h1>GOOD CHILDREN.</h1> + +<table class="toc" summary="List"> +<tr><td class="c1"> POETICAL TALES. <span class="smcap">By Mary Howitt.</span></td></tr> +<tr><td class="c1"> STORIES ABOUT ANIMALS. <span class="smcap">By Uncle Thomas.</span></td></tr> +<tr><td class="c1"> STORIES OF THE MONTHS. <span class="smcap">By Mrs. Barbauld.</span></td></tr> +<tr><td class="c1"> CHARLES' JOURNEY TO FRANCE. <span class="smcap">By Mrs. Barbauld.</span></td></tr> +<tr><td class="c1"> PHEBE, THE BLACKBERRY GIRL.</td></tr> +<tr><td class="c1"> GRIMALKIN AND LITTLE FIDO.</td></tr> +</table> + +<hr /> + +<div class="figcenter bord" style="width: 500px;"> + <a name="coverback.jpg" id="coverback.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/coverback.jpg" width="500" height="568" alt="Back Cover" title="" /> +</div> + +<p> </p> +<p> </p> +<hr class="full" /> + +<p>***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK CHARLES' JOURNEY TO FRANCE, AND OTHER TALES***</p> +<p>******* This file should be named 36707-h.txt or 36707-h.zip *******</p> +<p>This and all associated files of various formats will be found in:<br /> +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/3/6/7/0/36707">http://www.gutenberg.org/3/6/7/0/36707</a></p> +<p>Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed.</p> + +<p>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 the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. 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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf + +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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +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. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a> + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL</a> + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** +</pre> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/36707-h/images/cover.jpg b/36707-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..13ebab9 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/cover.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/coverback.jpg b/36707-h/images/coverback.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f865475 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/coverback.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p002-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p002-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..136576d --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p002-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p003-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p003-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..daedd0b --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p003-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p013-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p013-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6086a6c --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p013-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p016-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p016-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b88f26d --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p016-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p029-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p029-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f1c8ecf --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p029-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p031-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p031-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bdf328a --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p031-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p033-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p033-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7b596f2 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p033-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p035-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p035-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..63c7404 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p035-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p036-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p036-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..54cfb0a --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p036-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p038-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p038-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c5ffe93 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p038-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p044-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p044-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9cca10f --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p044-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p048-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p048-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6de7c46 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p048-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p051-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p051-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7325f72 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p051-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p054-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p054-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..54fe8a6 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p054-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p056-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p056-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2eceee3 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p056-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p058-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p058-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3ec7f07 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p058-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p061-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p061-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8d937cb --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p061-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p062-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p062-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..702639c --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p062-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p068-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p068-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3bc7088 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p068-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707-h/images/p070-illus.jpg b/36707-h/images/p070-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..773ed40 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707-h/images/p070-illus.jpg diff --git a/36707.txt b/36707.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..eb9cf15 --- /dev/null +++ b/36707.txt @@ -0,0 +1,1006 @@ +The Project Gutenberg eBook, Charles' Journey to France, and Other Tales, +by Anna Laetitia Barbauld + + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

We will go to France. We will +see some of the world besides home. + +Bring your hat. Good-bye, Papa. Farewell, Billy, and Harry, and every +body. We are going a great way off. And we shall go down the lane, and +through the church-yard and by the corner-house, and over the stile, +till we have got quite into the fields. How pretty the fields will +look! for it will be summer days again before we go. And there will be +yellow flowers, and white flowers, and grass, and trees, and hedges; +and the grasshoppers, will chirp, chirp, under our feet. Do not try to +catch them; it will only hinder us, and we have a great way to go. + +Pray what are those pretty creatures that look so meek and +good-natured, and have soft thick white wool upon their backs, like a +greatcoat, and make a noise like the little baby when it cries? Those +are sheep and lambs. And what are those creatures with horns, that +are bigger than the sheep? Some of them are black, and some red: they +make a loud noise, but they do not look as if they would hurt any +body. Those are cows that give milk. Stroke them. Poor cows! stand +still and look back. Now we cannot see papa's house at all; and we can +see only the top of the church steeple. Let us go a little farther. +Now look back. Now we cannot see the church at all. Farewell! We are +going a great way. Shall we ever come back again? Yes, we shall come +back again; but we must go on now. Come, make haste. + +What is that tall thing that has four great arms which move very fast? +I believe, if I was near it, they would strike me down. It is a +wind-mill. Those arms are the sails. The wind turns them round. And +what is a wind-mill for? It is to grind corn. You could have no bread +if the corn were not ground. Well, but here is a river; how shall we +do to get over it? Why, do you not see how those ducks do? they swim +over. But I cannot swim. Then you must learn to swim, I believe: it is +too wide to jump over. O, here is a Bridge! Somebody has made a +bridge for us quite over the river. That somebody was very good, for I +do not know what we should have done without it; and he was very clever +too. I wonder how he made it. I am sure I could not make such a bridge. + +[Illustration: Well, but here is a river.--_Page 12._] + +Well, we must go on, on, on; and we shall see more rivers, and more +fields, and towns bigger than our town a great deal--large towns, and +fine churches, streets, and people--more than there is at the fair. +And we shall have a great many high hills to climb. I believe I must +get somebody to carry the little boy up those high hills. And +sometimes we shall go through dusty sandy roads; and sometimes through +green lanes, where we shall hear the birds sing. + +[Illustration] + +Sometimes we shall go over wide commons, where we shall see no trees, +nor any house; and large heaths, where there is hardly any +grass--only some purple flowers, and a few black nosed little sheep. +Ha! did you see that pretty brown creature that ran across the path? +Here is another; and look! there is another; there are a great many. +They are rabbits. They live here, and make themselves houses in the +ground. This is a rabbit-warren. + +Now we are come amongst a great many trees--more trees than there are +in the orchard by a great many, and taller trees. There is oak, and +ash, and elm. This is a wood. What great boughs the trees have! like +thick arms. The sun cannot shine amongst the trees, they are so +thick. Look, there is a squirrel! Jumping from one tree to another. He +is very nimble. What a pretty tail he has! + +Well; when we have gone on a great many days, through a great many +fields and towns, we shall come to a great deep water, bigger a great +many times than the river, for you can see over the river, you +know--you can see fields on the other side; but this is so large, and +so wide, you can see nothing but water, water, as far as ever you can +carry your eyes. And it is not smooth, like the river; it is all +rough, like the great pot in the kitchen when it is boiling; and it is +so deep, it would drown you, if you were as tall as two church +steeples. I wonder what they call this great water? There is an old +fisherman sitting upon a stone drying himself; for he is very wet. I +think we will ask him. Pray, fisherman, what is this great water? It +is the sea: did you never hear of the sea? What! is this great water +the same sea that is on our map at home? Yes, it is. Well, this is +very strange! we are come to the sea that is in our map. But it is +very little in the map. I can lay my finger over it. Yes; it is +little in the map, because every thing is little in the map, the towns +are little, and the houses are little. + +Pray, fisherman, is there any thing on the other side of this sea? +Yes; fields, and towns, and people. Will you go and see them? I should +like to go very well; but how must we do to get over? for there is no +bridge here. Do not you see those great wooden boxes that swim upon +the water? They are bigger than all papa's house. There are tall poles +in the middle, as high as a tree. Those are masts. See! now they are +spreading the sails. Those white sheets are the sails. They are like +wings. These wooden boxes are like houses with wings. Yes, and I will +tell you what, little boy! they are made on purpose to go over the +sea; and the wind blows them along faster than a horse can trot. What +do they call them? They call them ships. You have seen a ship in a +picture. Shall we get in? What have those men in the ship got on? They +have jackets and trowsers on, and checked shirts. They are sailors. I +think we will make you a sailor; and then instead of breeches you must +have a pair of trowsers. Do you see that sailor, how he climbs up the +ropes? He runs up like a monkey. Now he is at the top of the mast. How +little he looks! but we must get in. Come, make haste: they will not +stay for us. What are you doing? picking up shells! We must get into a +boat first, because the ship is not near enough. Now we are in. + +Now we are upon the great sea. Blow, blow, wind! Sail away, ship! +There are little rooms in the ship. Those little rooms are called +cabins. Let us walk about, and look at the ship. Why, you cannot walk +steady; I am afraid you are tipsy! because the ship rolls about. But +the sailors can walk steady. The sea is not like the river; it is +greenish. Well, here is water enough if we should be thirsty. Yes, +here is water enough; but you would not like to drink it. It is salt +and bitter. You could not drink it. How fast we go! Now the fields are +a great way off. Now we cannot see any green fields at all, nor any +houses, nor any thing but the great deep water. It is water, all round +as far as ever we can see. Yes, and sky; we can see the sky too. All +sky over our heads, and all water every where round us! Do not be +afraid, little boy! blow, blow, wind! sail away, ship! I see some +things in the sea at a great distance. Those are more ships and boats. +How very small they are! they look like nut shells in a great pond. O, +now we are coming to the green fields and towns on the other side of +the sea! I can see them a little. Now I can see them very plain. And +here is a little piece of green land, with the water running all round +it. That is an island. A piece of land with water all round it, is an +island. But we are not going there; we are going to the great land. + +Now we are at the land. Get out of the ship. Pray, what country is +this? This is France. France! why France is in the map too. + +And pray what is the name of that country we came from, where we live, +and where papa lives? It is England. And the deep sea is between +France and England? Yes, you know it is so in the map. + +[Illustration: THE SHIP CHARLES CAME HOME IN.] + +O, France is a pretty place! it is warmer than our country: and here +are pretty flowers and fine fruit, and large grapes. I never saw such +large grapes in all my life. And the vines grow in the fields; they do +not grow against walls, as our vines do. And there are a great many +people, men and women, and little boys and girls, singing, and dancing +about, and so merry! nothing can be like it. I think we will live +here, and send for papa and Arthur. Let us go and talk with those +people. Here, you little girl! pray give us some of your nice fruit. +_Serviteur Monsieur._ What do you say, little girl? I do not +understand you. I cannot help that. Here is an old man cutting vines; +we will speak to him. Pray, old man, will you give us some of your +fruit? We are come a great way to see you. _Serviteur Monsieur._ What +do you say? We do not know what _Serviteur Monsieur_ is. It is French. +But we do not understand French. I cannot help that; you must go home +and learn. And why do you speak French? Because this is France. Did +not you know that every body speaks French in France! Ha, ha, ha! He, +he, he! Ho, ho, ho! Here is a foolish little boy come a great way over +the sea, and does not know that every body speaks French in France. +Ha, ha, ha! He, he he! Ho, ho, ho! Here is a foolish little boy come +a great way over the sea, and does not know that every body speaks +French in France. Ha, ha, ha! He, he, he! Ho, ho, ho! Here is a +foolish little boy come a great way over the sea, and does not know +that every body speaks French in France. Ha, ha, ha! He, he, he! Ho, +ho, ho!--What shall we do, little boy? every body laughs at us; and +all the little birds twitter and chirp at us. We will go home again. +Farewell, France! We will not go to France again till papa has taught +us to talk French. Let us go into the ship again. Blow, wind, sail +away ship! Now we are got back again. Pray, papa, teach the little boy +French before he goes a great way abroad again. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE BALL PLAYERS. + + + Up goes the ball with might and main, + And soon it cometh down again; + Ups and down, I've heard them say + For many a year, is the world's way! + + Up goes the ball,--like a goblet-cup; + Hold your hand as you send it up! + Down it comes,--ere it reach the ground, + Catch the ball so firm and round. + + An up and down, that is the way, + With a good round ball, that you must play; + Up, high as you can, then down again, + Five and five, and a double ten. + +[Illustration] + + The world is a ball, and every star, + And the sun himself, great balls they are; + Round they go, and round about, + Ever and ever, yet ne'er are out! + + Up goes the ball! Oh, if I threw + Up to the very sky so blue, + Up to the moon, or to Charles Wain, + 'Twould be long ere the ball came down again! + + An up and down--that is the way, + With a good round ball, that you must play; + Up, high as you can, and down again, + Ten and ten, and six times ten! + + Face to the shade, and back to the shine; + Send up your balls with a toss like mine, + Straight as a dart, as if 't were cast + From the spring of a mighty arbalast. + +[Illustration] + + There it goes! good luck to the ball! + Here it comes, with a plumping fall; + How merry it is, our balls to throw, + Standing together thus in a row! + + An up and a down, that is the way, + With a good round ball, that you must play; + Up, high as you can, and down again, + Now, we have counted ten times ten. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration: He was afraid of dogs, too.--_Page 40._] + +THE LITTLE BOY WHO WAS A COWARD. + + +There was once a little boy, who was a sad coward. He was afraid of +every thing almost. He was afraid of the two kids, Nanny and Billy, +when they came and put their noses through the pales of the court; and +he would not pluck Billy by the beard. What a silly boy he was! Pray +what was his name? Nay, indeed, I shall not tell you his name; for I +am ashamed of him. Well, he was much afraid of dogs, too: he always +cried if a dog barked, and ran away, and took hold of his mamma's +apron like a baby. What a foolish fellow he was! for the dogs do not +hurt, you know; they love little boys and play with them. Did you ever +see a dog eat up a little boy? No, never, I dare say. Well; so this +simple little boy was walking by himself one day, and a pretty black +dog came out of a house, and said, bow, wow, bow, wow; and came to the +little boy, and jumped upon him, and wanted to play with him; but the +little boy ran away. The dog ran after him, and cried louder, bow, +bow, wow; but he only meant to say, Good-morrow, how do you do? but +this little boy was sadly frightened, and ran away as fast as ever he +could, without looking before him, and he tumbled into a very dirty +ditch, and there he lay crying at the bottom of the ditch, for he +could not get out: and I believe he would have laid there all day, but +the dog was so good-natured that he went to the house where the little +boy lived, on purpose to tell them where he was. So, when he came to +the house, he scratched at the door, and said, Bow, wow; for he could +not speak any plainer. So they opened the door. + +What do you want, you black dog? We do not know you. Then the dog went +to Ralph the servant, and pulled him by the coat, and pulled him till +he brought him to the ditch; and the dog and Ralph together got the +little boy out of the ditch; but he was all over mud, and quite wet, +and every body laughed at him because he was a coward. + +Now, Charles, my pen is tired, I cannot write any more at present; but +if you are a good boy, perhaps I may write you some more stories +another time. Farewell. + + + + +[Illustration] + +MY MOTHER. + + + My own mamma! + My dear mamma! + How happy I shall be, + To-morrow night + At candle light, + When she comes home to me. + + 'Tis just a week, + Since on my cheek, + She pressed a parting kiss, + It seems like two, + I never knew, + So long a week as this. + + My tangled hair + She smoothed with care, + With water bathed my brow, + And all with such + A gentle touch-- + There's none to do so now. + + I cannot play + When she's away, + There's none to laugh with me, + And much I miss + The tender kiss-- + The seat upon her knee. + + When up to bed + I'm sorrowing led, + I linger on the stairs; + I lie and weep; + I cannot sleep; + I scarce can say my prayers. + + But she will come, + She'll be at home + To-morrow night, and then + I hope that she + Will never be + So long away again. + + + + +[Illustration] + +STORIES OF DOGS. + + +Dogs are very useful creatures, and they are much attached to man. +Some of them will play with little boys, will run after a ball and +bring it back to their playfellow. Spaniels or water dogs will bring +sticks which are thrown into the water. Some carry baskets. They do +many useful and amusing things for their masters. + +There is a large house upon the top of a mountain, in Italy, in which +a great many people live, called monks. The house is called a convent. +These monks have a very fine breed of dogs, called the dogs of St. +Bernard. They are a very large fine looking dog, very strong and very +bold, and yet very kind. Not cross, like some of the little curs, we +see every day. These dogs are trained to go down the mountains, and if +they find any travelers, who have lost their way in the deep snow, or +who are unable to get to the convent, these dogs help them. One of +them in ranging about the mountain a few years ago, met with a poor +little boy, almost dead with cold and hunger, and so benumbed that he +could not walk. + +[Illustration] + +The dog made signs to him, so as to make him understand, that he wanted +him to get up upon his back, which after much trouble, the poor little +boy did, and the dog carried him to the convent, where he was put into a +warm bed, and taken so good care of, that he was soon quite well. + +All dogs, however, are not like the good dogs of St. Bernard. Some are +very vicious. Such dogs are dangerous animals, and certainly should +not be permitted to go unchained. + +[Illustration: He rushed into the parlor, where all the family were at +tea. _Page 55._] + +There was an instance of great ferocity on the part of a dog exhibited +not long since, in the streets of New York. A horse belonging to a poor +drayman, got free from the halter with which he was fastened, and +started for home. The drayman as soon as he found the horse gone, +went in pursuit and called upon the people in the streets to stop his +horse. A bull-dog also taking the alarm pursued the horse, and soon +coming up with him, seized the poor animal by the upper lip. The horse, +terribly frightened, ran along several streets, the dog all the time +hanging to his lip. At length a crowd collecting prevented his farther +progress; and to escape being caught, and frantic with pain and fear, he +rushed into a hardware shop, and thence into the parlor where all the +family were at tea. After turning over the chairs and table, they were +driven back into the shop, when every exertion was made in vain by the +owner of the horse, and several others to release the animal from the +gripe of the tormentor. At last one of the company with a knife put an +end to the dog's existence, thus releasing the poor horse. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +STORY OF A NAUGHTY BOY. + + +There was a naughty boy; I do not know what his name was, but it was +not Charles, nor George, nor Arthur, for those are all very pretty +names: but there was a robin came in at his window one very cold +morning--shiver--shiver; and its poor little heart was almost frozen +to death. And he would not give it the least little crumb of bread in +the world, but pulled it about by the tail, and hurt it sadly, and it +died. Now a little while after, the naughty boy's papa and mamma went +away and left him, and then he could get no victuals at all, for you +know he could not take care of himself. So he went about to every +body--Pray give me something to eat, I am very hungry. And every body +said, No, we shall give you none, for we do not love cruel, naughty +boys. So he went about from one place to another, till at last he got +into a thick wood of trees, for he did not know how to find his way +any where; and then it grew dark, quite a dark night. So he sat down +and cried sadly; and he could not get out of the wood; and I believe +the bears came and eat him up in the wood, for I never heard any thing +about him afterwards. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +STORY OF THE SILLY LAMB. + + +I will tell you a story about a lamb. There was once a shepherd, who +had a great many sheep and lambs. He took a great deal of care of +them, and gave them sweet fresh grass to eat, and clear water to +drink; and if they were sick he was very good to them, and when they +climbed up a steep hill, and the lambs were tired, he used to carry +them in his arms; and when they were all eating their suppers in the +field, he used to sit upon a stile, and play them a tune, and sing to +them; and so they were the happiest sheep and lambs in the whole +world. But every night this shepherd used to pen them up in a fold. Do +you know what a sheepfold is? Well, I will tell you. It is a place +like the court; but instead of pales there are hurdles, which are made +of sticks that will bend, such as osier twigs; and they are twisted +and made very fast, so that nothing can creep in, and nothing can get +out. Well, and so every night, when it grew dark and cold, the +shepherd called all his flock, sheep and lambs, together, and drove +them into the fold, and penned them up, and there they lay, as snug +and warm and as comfortable as could be, and nothing could get into +and hurt them, and the dogs lay round on the outside to guard them, +and to bark if any body came near; and in the morning the shepherd +unpenned the fold, and let them all out again. + +Now they were all very happy, as I told you, and loved the shepherd +dearly that was so good to them--all except one foolish little lamb. And +this lamb did not like to be shut up every night in the fold; and she +came to her mother, who was a wise old sheep, and said to her, I wonder +why we are shut up so every night! the dogs are not shut up, and why +should we be shut up? I think it is very hard, and I will get away if I +can, I am resolved, for I like to run about where I please, and I think +it is very pleasant in the woods by moonlight. Then the old sheep said +to her, you are very silly, you little lamb, you had better stay in the +fold. The shepherd is so good to us, that we should always do as he bids +us; and if you wander about by yourself, I dare say you will come to +some harm. I dare say not, said the little lamb: and so when the evening +came, and the shepherd called them all to come into the fold, she would +not come, but crept slily under a hedge and hid herself; and when the +rest of the lambs were all in the fold and fast asleep, she came out and +jumped, and frisked, and danced about; and she got out of the field, and +got into a forest full of trees, and a very fierce wolf came rushing out +of a cave and howled very loud. Then the silly lamb wished she had been +shut up in the fold; but the fold was a great way off,--and the wolf +saw her, and seized her, and carried her away to a dismal dark den, all +covered with bones and blood; and there the wolf had two cubs, and the +wolf said to them, Here, I have brought you a young fat lamb--and so the +cubs took her, and growled over her a little while, and then tore her to +pieces, and ate her up. + +[Illustration] + + + + +[Illustration] + +LUCY AND HER LAMB. + + + Lucy had a little lamb, + Its fleece was white as snow, + And every where that Lucy went, + The lamb was sure to go. + + He followed her to school one day; + That was against the rule; + It made the children laugh and play, + To see the lamb at school. + + And so the teacher turned him out, + But still he lingered near: + And waited patiently about, + Till Lucy did appear. + + And then he ran to her, and laid + His head upon her arm, + As if he said, "I'm not afraid; + You'll shield me from all harm." + + "What makes the lamb love Lucy so?" + The little children cried; + "Because she loves the lamb, you know," + The teacher quick replied. + + "And you, each gentle animal, + In confidence may bind, + And make them follow at your call, + If you are always kind." + + + + + UNCLE THOMAS' STORIES FOR + GOOD CHILDREN. + + + POETICAL TALES.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3.

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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5.

Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.
