English Fairy Tales
TEENY-TINYOnce
upon a time there was a teeny-tiny woman lived in a teeny-tiny house in
a teeny-tiny village. Now, one day this teeny-tiny woman put on her
teeny-tiny bonnet, and went out of her teeny-tiny house to take a
teeny-tiny walk. And when this teeny-tiny woman had gone a teeny- tiny
way she came to a teeny-tiny gate; so the teeny-tiny woman opened the
teeny-tiny gate, and went into a teeny-tiny churchyard. And when this
teeny-tiny woman had got into the teeny-tiny churchyard, she saw a
teeny-tiny bone on a teeny-tiny grave, and the teeny-tiny woman said to
her teeny-tiny self, "This teeny-tiny bone will make me some teeny-
tiny soup for my teeny-tiny supper." So the teeny-tiny woman put the
teeny-tiny bone into her teeny-tiny pocket, and went home to her
teeny-tiny house. Now
when the teeny-tiny woman got home to her teeny-tiny house she was a
teeny-tiny bit tired; so she went up her teeny-tiny stairs to her
teeny-tiny bed, and put the teeny-tiny bone into a teeny-tiny cupboard.
And when this teeny-tiny woman had been to sleep a teeny- tiny time,
she was awakened by a teeny-tiny voice from the teeny-tiny cupboard,
which said: "Give me my bone!" And
this teeny-tiny woman was a teeny-tiny frightened, so she hid her
teeny-tiny head under the teeny-tiny clothes and went to sleep again.
And when she had been to sleep again a teeny-tiny time, the teeny-tiny
voice again cried out from the teeny-tiny cupboard a teeny-tiny louder,
"Give me my bone!" This
made the teeny-tiny woman a teeny-tiny more frightened, so she hid her
teeny-tiny head a teeny-tiny further under the teeny-tiny clothes. And
when the teeny-tiny woman had been to sleep again a teeny-tiny time,
the teeny-tiny voice from the teeny-tiny cupboard said again a
teeny-tiny louder, "Give me my bone!" And
this teeny-tiny woman was a teeny-tiny bit more frightened, but she put
her teeny-tiny head out of the teeny-tiny clothes, and said in her
loudest teeny-tiny voice, "TAKE IT!"
