a) The Rooster

by Hilda I. Rostron

What would we do, I'd like to know, Without that bird That loves to crow?

Who wakes him up, I'd like to know, To tell him when It's time to crow.

I'll get up early One day, too, And shout out: "Cock-a-doodle-doo-oo."

b) Still not Perfect

A small schoolboy often wrote: "I have went," instead of "I have gone". At last his teacher said:

"You must stay after school this afternoon and write 'I have gone' a hundred times.. Then you will remember it."

When the teacher came back he found a letter from the_boy on his desk. It said: ■

Dear Sir,

I have wrote "I have gone" a hundred times, and now I have went.
