Kind Emma lived all
a tiny thing scuttled in.
One night, a little voice called,
a very small spoon on the table.
She opened the door and

She put a dish of hot soup and
the water was hot.
She hoped the tiny thing would come
“Oh, dear Emma, oh!”
Next morning, when Emma awoke ... the fire burned
out and eat if she left the room.
