"What could it be, my little son,
That gave you such a fright?
When you are safe in bed, you know,
I always take the light."
"I know you do, but Biddie told
A story yesterday
That frightened me; please, dear mamma
Don't take the light away."
"I'll leave the light with you to-night;
Since Biddie was so silly;
Now think, my dear, your Father's near,
To guard his little Willie."
WILLIE'S FEARS.
PART II.
MOTHER.
Come, Willie, and tell me, my dear,
What made you so foolish, last night;
I am waiting this morning to hear
The cause of your terrible fright.
WILLIE.
Biddie said that a wolf would come out
And catch me if I was not good;
That is what I was thinking about
When I screamed just as loud as I could.
