Chapter 23

_Little Two-Eyes._ Now we are almost there. Are you tired, little One-Eye?

_Little One-Eye._ Oh! I am so tired, and my feet hurt so I can hardly walk.

_Little Two-Eyes._ I have to walk this far every day.

_Little One-Eye._ Yes, but you have two eyes like other people and you must expect to work. I cannot go any farther. I'll lie down here and rest.

_Little Two-Eyes._ I'll sing you a pretty song:

Are you awake, little One-Eye? Are you asleep, little One-Eye?

Yes, you are asleep, little One-Eye, and now I can have my dinner.

Little goat, bleat! Little table, rise!

_Goat._ Bla-a! Bla-a! Bla-a!

_Little Two-Eyes._ Here is the little table again! Oh, how thankful I am for the good food. Dear little old woman, you are very good to send me such nice things to eat. Here is some for you, little goat. Now I have had enough.

Little goat, bleat! Little table, away!

There, it is gone. Little One-Eye, wake up! It is time to go home.

_Little One-Eye._ Did I go to sleep?

_Little Two-Eyes._ Indeed, you did, and now we must hurry home. Come, little goat!
