A LONG TIME AGO.\n\n个HERE were six of us at home.Alice is my name,and I'm theI  eldest;and then there were Bob and Bella,Tom and Ethel,andto amuse ourselves.We were quite tired of hide-and-seek,blind-man'sbuff,musical chairs,and all the other old games.We had burnt ourfingers every night at snap-dragon,the Christmas tree was turning brown,and there wasn't even one cracker left to pull,so the boys pulled the girls'hair instead,and began getting into mischief all round.  \n“Dear me,children,what's the matter?”exclaimed our dear Auntie,coming into the nursery.  \n\"Oh,Auntie,\"we cried,\"we don't know what to do with ourselves.We want a new game to play;or will you tell us a story that will bebetter still?”  \n\"Tom and I are going back to school in a week,\"said Bob,“andwe want this to be the jolliest week of the holidays.”  \n\"But,\"said Auntie,taking Baby Tot upon her knee,“I have alreadytold you the stories over and over again.”  \n\"Never mind,Auntie dear,\"said Bella;“we're not tired of them,sotell them to us once more.”  \n“This is what I'll do,\"said Auntie,after thinking a little bit;\"I'll tellyou a story every night,and you can dress up and act the parts in thedifferent fairy tales.That will be something quite new.”  \n\n|  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |\n\nA LONG TIME AGO.  \n“Oh,Auntie,how lovely!”I cried.  \n“How awfully jolly!”said Bob.  \n“Hurrah!I'll be'Robinson Crusoe,'”cried Tom,with glee.  \nAnd I'll be Friday,\"said Bob.  \n\"And I'll be Sunday,\"cried Tot,clapping her little fat hands.  \nThis made us all laugh.Tot didn't know very much about storiesthen,because she was so young.  \n\"Tot shall be the‘Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe,'and the dolls  \nshall be her naughty children,\"said Auntie.  \n“And we'll haveAlad-din’and‘Jack and the Bean-stalk,'”said Ethel.  \n\"And‘The SleepingBeauty'and‘Beauty and theBeast,”said Bella,with de-light.  \nAnd,oh!what a lovelyrummage we had in dear Aunt-ie's boxes for clothes to dressup in!She lent us her beauti-ful silks and satins,but made  \nus promise to be very careful of them.And then we made crowns out ofcardboard,and painted them with green,and red,and blue,until theylooked quite covered with emeralds,rubies,and sapphires.And Papa'ssilver-headed cane made a lovely sceptre;and we made flags out of handker-chiefs.  \nAuntie told us a story every night,as she promised,and I am quitesure it was just the merriest week we ever spent.  \nEdric
