A Rhyme

Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger;

Sneeze on Tuesday, kiss a stranger;

Sneeze on Wednesday, get a letter;

Sneeze on Thursday, something better;

Sneeze on Friday, sneeze for sorrow;

Sneeze on Saturday, joy tomorrow.

I Remember, I Remember

I remember, I remember,
The house where I was born,

The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn; […]

I remember, I remember,
The roses, red and white,

The violets, and the lily-cups,
Those flowers made of light!

The lilacs where the robin built,

And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday,

The tree is living yet!

Unexpected answer

Little Jack is not a diligent pupil at all.

One day, when he comes to school, he has no homework.

His teacher is not satisfied and says, ‘You are very lazy. When George Washington was as old as you, he was the most diligent boy at school.’

– ‘And when he was as old as you,’ answers Jack, ‘he was President of the United States of America.’
