by."

Yes, Edith had guessed right, so she ran out of the room.

When she came back the children all looked and looked.

Who could she be?

She hadn't changed herself one bit, and she only stood still and looked
at them.

"We are caught this time," laughed Miss Smith.

Just then a little girl in the back of the room jumped up and said:
"Oh, see the curl in the middle of her forehead! I know who she is!

'There was a little girl,
And she had a little curl.
And it hung right down on her forehead.
When she was good
She was very good indeed;
But when she was bad she was horrid.'"

Tommy went out next, and when he came back he had a little toy pig
under his arm.

"I can think of ever so many pigs in Mother Goose," said Alice. "Have
you been to market, Tommy?"

"No, no," said Tommy, "I did not buy this good fat pig."

"I know who you are, and where you got your pig," laughed Jill.

"Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Stole a pig and away he run."

Mistress Mary came in with her watering pot to water her flowers.

Boy Blue was quickly guessed because he had a horn.

Just as Jack and Jill came in with a pail of water, the bell rang.

It was time to go home!

Every one of the children was sorry not to see all of the book.

"Some day we will play this game again," said Miss Smith. "Then we can
see the rest of the pages."

As they ran home together they were all talking of the new game.

That night they got out their Mother Goose books and read them through,
so that the next time they would be sure to guess every rhyme.
