Grandpa Grumbles shook his green cotton umbrella again and said,
"Young cabbage heads, all in a row,
Wake up, wake up, it's time to grow."
The cabbages came up as big and round as you please. Then Grandpa
Grumbles shook his green cotton umbrella again and said,
"Turnips come, wake up, 'tis clear
Merry, merry spring is here."
The turnips came up nodding in the sunshine, and Grandpa Grumbles said,
"Open green umbrella and sail away,
They were magic seeds, good day, good day."
He opened the green cotton umbrella and sailed away, and away, and
away.
Bunny Cotton-Tail woke up and looked out of the window. "My fur and
whiskers, look at the garden," he shouted.
Susan woke and looked out the window and said, "Bless my buttons there
is a real little garden."
Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes woke up again and said, "Hurrah, hurrah, how
fast the seeds grow! We must ask Grandpa Grumbles if they were magic
seeds that he gave us."
But Grandpa Grumbles had sailed away, and away, and away!
At that very minute the Postman brought two letters. The letters were
for Snubby Nose and Tippy Toes. They were from their Mothers asking
them to come home.
When Snubby Nose read his letter he cried and he screamed and he
howled!
When Tippy Toes read his letter he said, "Never mind, Snubby Nose, we
can go together to the bend of the road.
