Once on a time, there lived a little bit of a lady who had a great manynephews and nieces. She was very little indeed, so all the childrenloved her, and said she was the best little auntie in the world, andexactly the right size to play with them and tell them stories.Sometimes she told them interesting stories about George Washington,and other great and good men; sometimes funny stories, about Frizzlefitsand Monsieur Pop, and sometimes she would make them nearly die laughingwith stories about the Dutchman,[Pg 6]Hansansvanansvananderdansvaniedeneid
