Now came the merry Christmas feast;St. Nicholas brought to even the leastSuch pretty presents, rich and rare,But all the best for Minny were. But Minny was not satisfied,She pouted, fretted, sulked, and cried;Sisters and brothers had no rest,—She vowed their presents were the best. … °WTf^ Now, to her little sister BessSt. Nicholas brought a yellow dress;This Minny longed for (envious child)And snatched it from her sister mild. Then all in tears did Bessy runTo tell her mother what was done,While Minny ran triumphantlyTo try the dress on, as you see.
