Chapter 3

Mistress O'Hara has taken her stand, With rage in her heart and a stick in her hand; So fierce is her frown and so wild is her eye, That poor Yama-Guchi feels ready to die.

Her patience is stretched to the end of its tether, She knocks all the heads of the children together; Then--when she's reduced them to sorrow and tears-- She repents of her harshness--the poor little dears!

She agrees to forget and forgive just once more, And homewards they stroll by the sunshiny shore; You can see by the picture how happy they look-- On the next page you'll see the effect on--

the COOK!!
