La Tortue Intelligente by Audrey Mahood Four little boys, flying a kite, Spied a little turtle and began to fight. "He's mine," cried one, "I'm taking him home." "No, you're not!" said little Jerome. The angry four fought and fought Until after four o'clock; FIngir 05793- w re 17/8-0c, their noses bloody, Their hands were bruised, their faces ruddy, Then stopped, laughed, Said, "Who will strive Over such a worthless prize?" "We'll all play with it awhile." Thus turned to the turtle with a smile. But while the boys had engaged in a fray The smart little turtle had skipped away!
