There muſt, however, be many parents ſtill living who remember the delight that the little ſtory gave them in their younger days, and they will, no doubt, be pleaſed to ſee it once more in the form which was then ſo familiar to them. The children of to-day, too, will look on it with ſome curioſity, on account of the fact that it is one of the oldeſt of our nurſery tales, and amuſed and edified their grand-parents and great grand-parents when they were children, while they cannot fail to be attracted by its ſimple, pretty, and intereſting ſtory.
