Text Appearing Before Image:
ckly in a row they stood, That group of luckless boys. Biff! bim! the cocoanut balls spun by, By skilful Bruins cast.Heels over heads, along the line, Those boys they toppled fast.A merry game of foot-ball Next added to their woe,As twenty whirling, dizzy lads Bounced light, from toe to toe. And so the topsyturvy night Went on until the dawn;Till Bruin cried, One contest more, And then we must be gone.Up, up, with every Teddy Boy, See who can toss most high!And hurtling through the air, those boys Shot upward toward the sky. Our Teddy higher went than all, And came down with a whack!And presto! as he hit the ground, The voice he d lost came back.And such a mighty howl he gave Was never heard before.Mama and nurse and Papa, too, Came hurrying to his door. Then Teddy opened wide his eyes And lifted up his head,To find himself upon the floor, Beside his little bed.While to the bedpost, safely tied, With beady eyes astare,And paws stretched out in helpless wise, There hung his Teddy Bear.
Text Appearing After Image:
And Ted may be mistaken, butHe thought he saw him wink, As slowly he climbed into bed,To rest awhile—and think!
