A wolf, however, did really come one day. Theshepherd-boy, now really frightened, shouted:"Help, the wolf is killing the sheep"; but no onepaid any attention to his cries. The wolf,having no reason to worry, attacked and killedthe whole flock and then ate the boy.

Lets SingOn top of spaghetti,All covered with cheese,

I lost my poor meatball,

When somebody sneezed.It rolled off the table,And on to the floor,And then my poor meatball,Rolled out of the door.

It rolled in the garden,And under a bush,And then my poor meatball,Was nothing but mush.

The mush was as tastyAs tasty could be,And then the next summer,It grew into a tree.

The tree was all covered,All covered with moss,And on it grew meatballs,And tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti,All covered with cheese,Hold on to your meatball,Whenever you sneeze.
