THE REAL LITTLE LUCIE
OF NEWLANDS
Once upon a time there was a little girl called Lucie, who lived at a farmcalled Little-town. She was a good little girl—only she was always losingher pocket-handkerchiefs!
One day little Lucie came into the farm-yard crying—oh, she did cry so!"I've lost my pocket-handkin! Three handkins and a pinny! Have you seenthem, Tabby Kitten?"
The Kitten went on washing her white paws; so Lucie asked a speckled hen—
"Sally Henny-penny, have you found three pocket-handkins?"
But the speckled hen ran into a barn, clucking—
"I go barefoot, barefoot, barefoot!"
