tiptoe now the hives she nears,Close up to them she creeps, And tnrough the little window panesQuite cautiously she peeps. Oh, dear! how good it looks! she cries, As she the honey sees;I must, I will, indeed, have some; It cannot hurt the bees. And now a hive she gently lifts,— Oh, foolish, foolish… … Four weeks and more did Mary lie Upon her little bed,And, ah! instead of honey, she On medicine was fed. Her parents grieved much at first Their child so sick to see;But once more well, with joy they found Her cured of gluttony. Tomoa&jc^
