Chapter CCCL

There was a man, and his name was Dob,
And he had a wife, and her name was Mob,
And he had a dog, and he called it Cob,
And she had a cat, called Chitterabob.
Cob, says Dob,
Chitterabob, says Mob,
Cob was Dob's dog,
Chitterabob Mob's cat.

[Two children sit opposite to each other; the first turns her
fingers one over the other, and says:]

"May my geese fly over your barn?"

[The other answers, Yes, if they'll do no harm. Upon which
the first unpacks the fingers of her hand, and waving it over
head, says:]

"Fly over his barn and eat all his corn."
