Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teacher's Old Chair, And, the Squirrel When I had taken needed food, to make me plump and round and neat, The Lady in the moon looked down and said to me in accent sweet; You have a mission, little man; you should not live for idle show, Because you are no butterfly, and to your work should wisely go. Frost one night was handed down, which touched what you might call my pen; And being ripe, as people say, it nipped the feeble little stem That held me to the generous branch, and fed me all the summer through. But when the sun had found the frost, I broke away and bade adieu. And arrow-like I shot to earth, and I was never found alone, Because all things had been prepared for comfort, in my rustic home.
