Foolish Jack. TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text J.--Yes, he gave me a lamb.<br><br>M.--A lamb! How delightful! Where is it, then?<br><br>J.--I crammed it into my pocket, and it was stifled.<br><br>M.--I should think it was! Into your pocket! Good heavens! Whoever thought of putting a lamb into his pocket! You should have tied a rope round its neck and led it carefully along.<br><br>J.--That's just what Uncle Crabstick said.<br><br>M.--I should think he did! And then?<br><br>J.--Then I went to see Auntie Jumblewig.<br><br>M.--That was quite right. Did she give you anything?<br><br>J.--She gave me a splendid ham.<br><br>M.--A ham! I am glad. That will come in useful. Where is it?<br><br>J.--I tied a rope to it, and led it carefully along the road, but some dogs ate it up while I was not looking.<br><br>M.--Of course they did, you foolish boy! You should have carried it on your head.<br><br>J.--That's just what Auntie Jumblewig said when she saw me start.<br><br>M.--Of course she did! and then?<br><br>J.--I went to see Cousin Peter.<br><br>M.--Cousin Peter! And what did the good man say to you?<br><br>J.--Not much; but he gave me a calf.<br><br>M.--A calf! How generous! Where is the calf then?<br><br>J.--I tried to carry it on my head, but he kicked my face, so I let him go.<br><br>M.--Serve you right! How could you be so foolish as to carry a calf on your head? You should have taken him to the cow-house and settled him in a nice warm corner, with plenty of straw.
