Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 460
Dear, dear! said one. A bear I see! I think we d better all climb a tree ! But there was nt a tree for miles around. They were too frightened to stay on the ground; So they climbed their ladder up to the top, And sat there screaming. Well drop! well drop! THE THREE WISE WOMEN. 433 … But the wind was strong as wind could be, And blew their ladder right out to sea ! Soon the three wise women were all afloat In a leaky ladder, instead of a boat ! And every time the waves rolled in. Of course the poor things were wet to the skin. 0CA
