BIRTHDAY TALK FOR A CHILD.

Edith Nesbit

DADDY dear, I'm only four And I'd rather not be more: Four's the nicest age to be — Two and two, or one and three.

All I love is two and two, Mother, Fabian, Paul and you; All you love is one and three, Mother, Fabian, Paul and me.

Give your little girl a kiss Because she learned and told you this.
