What Jack Horner Did by L. Frank Baum

Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, / Eating a Christmas pie; / He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum / And said, "What a good boy am I! "

LITTLE JACK HORNER lived in an old, tumble-down house at the edge of a big wood; and there many generations of Horners had lived before him, and had earned their living by chopping wood. Jack's father and mother were both dead, and he lived with his grandfather and grandmother, who took great pains to teach him all that a boy should know.
