Old Dog Tom

Old Dog Tom met Mr. Wolf.

And Mr. Wolf said, “I am going to eat you up.”
Old Dog Tom said, “Don’t eat me Mr. Wolf.”
Mr. Wolf said, “If you will get me a bone, I will not eat you.”
Old Dog Tom ran to the cook. And Tom said to him, “Cook, cook,
please give me a big bone. I shall give the bone to Mr. Wolf. Then
he will not eat me.”
The cook said to him, “I shall give you a bone if you will go and get
me an egg.”
So Old Dog Tom ran to the hen. Tom said to the hen, “Hen, hen,
do give me an egg. I shall give the egg to the cook. The cook will
give me a bone. I shall give the bone to Mr. Wolf. Then he will not
eat me.”
The little hen said, “Yes, I shall, if you will go and get me some
corn.”
Old Dog Tom ran to the mill and said to the mill, “Mill, mill, give
me some corn. I shall give the corn to the hen. The hen will give
me an egg. I shall give the egg to the cook. The cook will give me a
bone. I shall give the bone to Mr. Wolf. Then he will not eat me.”
And the mill said to Tom, “I shall, if you go and get me some
water.”
Old Dog Tom ran to the pond. Tom said to the pond, “Pond, pond,
please give me some water. I shall give it to the mill. Then the mill
will give me some corn. I shall give the corn to the hen. The hen
will give me an egg. I shall give the egg to the cook. The cook will
give me a bone. I shall give the bone to Mr. Wolf, and he will not
eat me.”
So the pond gave Old Dog Tom some water.
Then Old Dog Tom ran to the mill with the water.
The mill gave Old Dog Tom some corn.
Tom gave the corn to the hen.
Then the hen gave him an egg.
Tom gave the egg to the cook.
The cook gave the dog a big bone.
Then Tom ran to Mr. Wolf and said him, “Mr. Wolf, Mr. Wolf,
please do not eat me. I have a big bone for you.”
And Mr. Wolf said, “I shall not eat you, Dog Tom, if you will give
me the big bone.”
