Teacher - S Pet - Caps For Sale
As he went along
he called,
“Caps! Caps! for sale!
Fifty cents a cap!”
One morning he couldn’t sell
any caps. He walked up the
street and he walked down the
street calling, “Caps! Caps for
sale. Fifty cents a cap.”
But nobody wanted any caps
that morning. Nobody wanted
even a red cap.
He began to feel very hungry,
but he had no money for lunch.
“I think I’ll go for a walk in the
country;” said he. And he
walked out of town – slowly,
slowly, so as not to upset his
caps.
He walked for a long time until he
came to a great big tree.
“That’s a nice place for a rest,”
thought he.
And he sat down very slowly,
under the tree and leaned back
little by little against the tree trunk
so as not to disturb the caps on
his head.
The he put up his hand to feel if
they were straight – first his own
checked cap,
then the gray caps,
then the brown caps,
then the blue caps,
then the red caps
on the very top.
They were all there,
So he went to sleep.
He slept for a long time.
When he woke up
he was refreshed
and rested.
But before standing up he felt
with his hand to make sure
his caps were in the right
place.
the tree.
So the peddler picked up
his caps and put them back
on his head –
First his own checked cap,
then the gray caps,
then the brown caps,
then the blue caps,
then the red caps
on the very top.
And slowly, slowly,
he walked back to town
calling,
“Caps! Caps for sale!
Fifty cents a cap.
