Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the room. Leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi"s forty-fifth birthday. My wife and I heard no more of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself. I found in my baby"s behavior a metaphor for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he didn"t feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don"t read, that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is to watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion: let them

(三)学会如何归纳故事大意，进行发散性思维 1. 看懂原文意思是续写的前提。续写基本上提供的是记叙文， 一个情节饱满的故事。在读原文时，要寻求故事的发展顺序，准确抓 住故事发生的时间、地点、主人公、做的事情，以及为什么要做、怎 么做的。只有这样，才能为后来的续写做充分的准备。
2. 在续写时，学生要想把故事继续编写下去，就必须先找出文 中留下的未解之谜，即文中的悬念点。最后，根据给出的段落开头语， 选择性地将这些悬念点运用到续写中去，这样可以帮助学生克服想象 不出故事情节、无话可说的窘境，打消对续写的畏惧感。
[评分基本要求] 阅卷时主要考虑以下内容： ①与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度； ②内容的丰富性和对所给关键词语的应用情况； ③应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性； ④上下文的连贯性。
(二)读后续写考查能力 读后续写是一种将阅读与写作紧密结合的考查形式，旨在考查考 生的综合语言运用能力。与应用文不同，故事续写除了要求考生掌握 丰富的词汇和句式外，还注重考生的内容构思和情节衔接的能力。主 要聚焦在以下四个方面：
(二)学会审题 1. 审要求：阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写 两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。明确作文是读后续写。 2. 审体裁：确定是记叙文，说明文还是议论文。 3. 审时态：确定是一般过去时、一般现在时，还是一般将来时， 或是各种时态混合出现。
4. 审前文大意：读懂前文。 5. 审前文要点：读后续写一般是记叙文，所以要找到记叙文的 六要素：who, when, where, what, how, why。 6. 审续写所给首句：仔细研读续写题目给出的第一句话，有助 于我们续写后续故事时与前文叙述的高度融合。
注： 1. 文章基调是指文章的立意，即真善 美的具体体现，如关爱、分享、付出 与收获等。 2. 语言风格是指记叙文纯粹旁白的写 人叙事，还是对话与旁白的交替使用 等。

Throughout history, in cultures around the world, the story of Cinderella hasremained a favorite.

But her story is always about a caring young woman who overcomes her difficult family life with the support of a magical helper. This helper makes the dreams of Cinderella come true. And, by the end of the story Cinderella is repaid for her goodness when she marries the man she loves.One of the earliest versions of the story comes from ninth-century China. Yeh-shen talks to a magic fish, which makes her wishes come true. The Algonquin Native American version is about Rough-Face Girl, whose kindness and inner beauty win the love of an invisible warrior spirit.The seventeenth century French writer Charles Perrault included another version in his book, Tales of Mother Goose. His version is one of the most famous. Cinderella lives with her father’s second wife and the woman’s dau ghters.Cinderella’s stepmother and stepsisters are unkind to her and make her do all the work in the house whilethey prepare for a party given by the ruling prince.Cinderella’s fairy godmother gives her beautiful clothes to wear to the party. She magically turns a pumpkin and mice into a carriage pulled by horses so Cinderella can go to the party. But, the godmother warns Cinderella that she must return home by midnight, when all of her magical belongings will turn back into their normal forms.

These years saw grain prices soar, and exports drop, causing social unrest and famine in many parts of the world.The most recent global grain crisis began in June 2007. By March 2008, global grain prices had risen by 40 percent. The global food reserve was only sufficient to last for 53 days. In April 2008, the International Monetary Fund released a stern warning that sharp rises in food prices could trigger war.To reserve more grain, many countries made policy changes. Morocco cut its wheat import tariff from 130 percent to 2.5 percent. The European Commission suspended most tariffs on grain imports. Cambodia and Egypt banned rice exports altogether. Vietnam and India, the world’s second and third biggest exporters of rice, both raised prices and lowered exports. The panic for grain triggered turbulence in many areas in the world. A UN report revealed 1 billion people were infamine, or on the brink of famine in 2008.But what’s puzzling is that global grain output didn’t see a drop, as might be expected. The annual grain output reached 1.6 billion tons between 2007 and 2008, up 5.7 percent year on year. Analysts say grain used for energy that’s increasing overall grain consumption. The amount of grain used to fill a car’s gas tank is enough to feed a person for a year. Global warming and its effects, including more frequent floods and drought, have also impacted the world’s grain production.15.A) Grain prices went up.B) Exports fell.C) Social unrest was caused.D) Famine all over the world.Script: What result is not mentioned about the global grain crisis?正确答案： D16.A) Morocco increased its wheat import tariff.B) Cambodia stopped exporting of rice.C) Egypt sold a lot of grains to other countries.D) Vietnam lowered prices and increased exports.Script: Which one of policy changes of the many countries is correct?正确答案： B17.A) The global grain output has increased.B) The grain is used for feeding animals.C) The global warming has its effects.D) The floods and drought never occur.Script: What may be the cause of the grain crisis?正确答案： CPassage ThreeQuestions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script: People around the world celebrate thecoming of a New Year. The celebrations include parties and religious observances. Many people take part in special activities said to bring good luck and success in the New Year.Ancient Romans obser ved New Year’s Day on March 1st. Later, Roman leaders made January 1st the beginning of the year. One thousand years ago, parts of Europe started the year on March 25th. By the year 1600, many European nations agreed on a new system to measure time. It is called the Gregorian calendar. This calendar moved New Year’s Day to January 1st.January 1st is an important day in Greece. It is both the beginning of a New Year and Saint Basil’s Day. Saint Basil was a leader of the early Greek Orthodox Church. Stories say he would come in the night and leave presents for children in their shoes. Many children leave their shoes out by the fireplace in the hope that Saint Basil will visit them.Other European countries have New Year’s traditions. In Belgium, for example, children write messages to their parents on colorful pieces of paper. The children read the messages to their families on New Year’s Day.In Spain, everyone must have at least twelve grapes ready on the final day of the year. One grape representseach month in the year. As the New Year begins, a person puts a grape in his or her mouth each time the clock rings. Each piece of fruit is said to bring good luck and happiness in the New Year.The New Year is celebrated in a big way in Japan. Japanese people often begin by cleaning their homes in late December. Some people hang long ropes across the front of their home. This is supposed to keep bad spirits away.Not all countries celebrate the New Year at the same time. This is because people in different areas have different ways to measure time. Some systems are based on the movement of the moon. Others are based on the position of the sun. Still others are based on both the sun and the moon.18.A) On January 1st.B) On February 1st.C) On March 1st.D) On December 1st.Script: When was the New Year’s Day first celebrated in ancient Rome?正确答案： C19.A) Everyone must have at least 12 grapes ready.B) Everyone is given a piece of cake.C) Many children leave their shoes out by the fireplace.D) Children write messages to their parents on colorful paper.Script: What is the tradition of New Year celebration in Belgium?正确答案： D20.A) It is for decoration purposes.B) It is for keeping devils away.C) It is for memorizing the ancestors.D) It is for keeping the house quiet.Script: Why do some Japanese hang long ropes across the front of their home?正确答案： BSection CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.

"It uses American girls' resources and energy to raise awareness for girls in the developing countries and really give them a voice because they don't have the opportunity to speak forthemselves."The campaign is sponsored by the United Nations Foundation, a charity that supports U.N. causes. Its spokeswoman, Elizabeth Gore, says Girl Up is off to an exciting start."I would describe it as walking into a room with the most passionate (热诚的) young girls from all economic backgrounds, all ethnic backgrounds, working together and really learning about girls globally," says Gore. "Not only did they really want to understand the statistics — like one in four girls unfortunately experience violence before they are 18 or one in seven girls are married in developing countries before the age of 15, and they were just so blown away by that — but they really wanted to know stories about these girls. They wanted to understand, are they like them? Do they like boys? Are they going to school?"Now, back at home, the girls who attended the kick-off are spreading the word about the campaign. Cribb — a senior at a girls school in Charleston, South Carolina, is writing a blog and making presentations."What I plan to do is take the Girl Up Campaign to schools around Charleston and raise awareness and raisefunds." Cribb says. "I’m actually speaking to my church youth group about t he Girl Up Campaign this Sunday. Then, I’m going to my former middle school to talk to them in a few weeks."正确答案：counterparts正确答案：cultivate正确答案：resources正确答案：sponsored正确答案：spokeswoman正确答案：describe正确答案：economic正确答案：violence正确答案：attended正确答案：awarenessPart II Oral Tasks ( 2 minutes )Section AInterpret the following Chinese passage into English.

【英文读物】Mother Goose in Prose
【英文读物】Mother Goose in ProseIntroduction.NONE of us, whether children or adults, needs an introduction to Mother Goose. Those things which are earliest impressed upon our minds cling to them the most tenaciously. The snatches sung in the nursery are never forgotten, nor are they ever recalled without bringing back with them myriads of slumbering feelings and half-forgotten images.We hear the sweet, low voice of the mother, singing soft lullabies to her darling, and see the kindly, wrinkled face of the grandmother as she croons the old ditties to quiet our restless spirits. One generation is linked to another by the everlasting spirit of song; the ballads of the nursery follow us from childhood to old age, and they are readily brought from memory's recesses at any time to amuse our children or our grandchildren.The collection of jingles we know and love as the "Melodies of Mother Goose" are evidently drawn from a variety of sources. While they are, taken altogether, a happy union of rhyme, wit, pathos, satire and sentiment, the research after the author of each individual verse would indeed be hopeless. It would be folly to suppose them all the composition of uneducated[10] old nurses, for many of them contain much reflection, wit and melody. It is said that Shelley wrote "Pussy-Cat Mew," and Dean Swift "Little Bo-Peep," and these assertions are as difficult to disprove as to prove. Some of the older verses, however, are doubtless offshoots from ancient Folk Lore songs, and have descended to us through many centuries.The connection of Mother Goose with the rhymes which bear her name is difficult to determine, and, in fact, three countries claim her for their own: France, England and America.About the year 1650 there appeared in circulation in London a small book, named "Rhymes of the Nursery; or Lulla-Byes for Children," which contained many of the identical pieces that have been handed down to us; but the name of Mother Goose was evidently not then known. In this edition were the rhymes of "Little Jack Horner," "Old King Cole," "Mistress Mary," "Sing a Song o' Sixpence," and "Little Boy Blue."In 1697 Charles Perrault published in France a book of children's tales entitled "Contes de ma Mére Oye," and this is really the first time we find authentic record of the use of the name of Mother Goose, although Perrault's tales differ materially from those we now know under this title. They comprised "The Sleeping Beauty," "The Fairy," "Little Red Riding-Hood," "Blue Beard," "Puss in Boots," "Riquet with the Tuft," "Cinderella," and "Little Thumb;" eight[11] stories in all. On the cover of the book was depicted an old lady holding in her hand a distaff and surrounded by a group of children listening eagerly. Mr. Andrew Lang has edited a beautiful English edition of this work (Oxford, 1888).America bases her claim to Mother Goose upon the following statement, made by the late JohnFleet Eliot, a descendant of Thomas Fleet, the printer:At the beginning of the eighteenth century there lived in Boston a lady named Eliza Goose (written also Vergoose and Vertigoose) who belonged to a wealthy family. Her eldest daughter, Elizabeth Goose (or Vertigoose), was married by Rev. Cotton Mather in 1715 to an enterprising and industrious printer named Thomas Fleet, and in due time gave birth to a son. Like most mothers-in-law in our day, the importance of Mrs. Goose increased with the appearance of her grandchild, and poor Mr. Fleet, half distracted with her endless nursery ditties, finding all other means fail, tried what ridicule could effect, and actually printed a book under the title "Songs of the Nursery; or, Mother Goose's Melodies for Children." On the title page was the picture of a goose with a very long neck and a mouth wide open, and below this, "Printed by T. Fleet, at his Printing House in Pudding Lane, 1719. Price, two coppers."Mr. Wm. A. Wheeler, the editor of Hurd & Houghton's elaborate edition of Mother Goose, (1870),[12] reiterated this assertion, and a writer in the Boston Transcript of June 17, 1864, says: "Fleet's book was partly a reprint of an English collection of songs, (Barclay's), and the new title was doubtless a compliment by the printer to his mother-in-law Goose for her contributions. She was the mother of sixteen children and a typical 'Old Woman who lived in a Shoe.'"We may take it to be true that Fleet's wife was of the Vergoose family, and that the name was often contracted to Goose. But the rest of the story is unsupported by any evidence whatever. In fact, all that Mr. Eliot knew of it was the statement of the late Edward A. Crowninshield, of Boston, that he had seen Fleet's edition in the library of the American Antiquarian Society. Repeated researches at Worcester having failed to bring to light this supposed copy, and no record of it appearing on any catalogue there, we may dismiss the entire story with the supposition that Mr. Eliot misunderstood the remarks made to him. Indeed, as Mr. William H. Whitmore points out in his clever monograph upon Mother Goose (Albany, 1889), it is very doubtful whether in 1719 a Boston printer would have been allowed to publish such "trivial" rhymes. "Boston children at that date," says Mr. Whitmore, "were fed upon Gospel food, and it seems extremely improbable that an edition could have been sold."Singularly enough, England's claim to the venerable[13] old lady is of about the same date as Boston's. There lived in a town in Sussex, about the year 1704, an old woman named Martha Gooch. She was a capital nurse, and in great demand to care for newly-born babies; therefore, through long years of service as nurse, she came to be called Mother Gooch. This good woman had one peculiarity: she was accustomed to croon queer rhymes and jingles over the cradles of her charges, and these rhymes "seemed so senseless and silly to the people who overheard them" that they began to call her "Mother Goose," in derision, the term being derived from Queen Goosefoot, the mother of Charlemagne. The old nurse paid no attention to her critics, but continued to sing her rhymes as before; for, however much grown people might laugh at her, the children seemed to enjoy them very much, and not one of them was too peevish to be quieted and soothed by her verses. At one time Mistress Gooch was nursing a child of Mr. Ronald Barclay, a physician residing in the town, and he noticed the rhymes she sang and became interested in them. In time he wrote them all down and made a book of them, which it is said was printed byJohn Worthington & Son in the Strand, London, in 1712, under the name of "Ye Melodious Rhymes of Mother Goose." But even this story of Martha Gooch is based upon very meager and unsatisfactory evidence.The earliest English edition of Mother Goose's Melodies that is absolutely authentic was issued by[14] John Newbury of London about the year 1760, and the first authentic American edition was a reprint of Newbury's made by Isaiah Thomas of Worcester, Mass., in 1785.None of the earlier editions, however, contained all the rhymes so well known at the present day, since every decade has added its quota to the mass of jingles attributed to "Mother Goose." Some of the earlier verses have become entirely obsolete, and it is well they have, for many were crude and silly and others were coarse. It is simply a result of the greater refinement of modern civilization that they have been relegated to oblivion, while the real gems of the collection will doubtless live and grow in popular favor for many ages.While I have taken some pains to record the various claims to the origin of Mother Goose, it does not matter in the least whether she was in reality a myth, or a living Eliza Goose, Martha Gooch or the "Mére Oye" of Perrault. The songs that cluster around her name are what we love, and each individual verse appeals more to the childish mind than does Mother Goose herself.Many of these nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be I have thought the[15] children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines.For that reason I have written this book.In making the stories I have followed mainly the suggestions of the rhymes, and my hope is that the little ones will like them, and not find that they interfere with the fanciful creations of their own imaginations.L. FRANK BAUM.Chicago, Illinois, July, 1899.Sing a Song o' SixpenceSing a song o' sixpence, a handful of rye,Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie;When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the King?IF you have never heard the legend of Gilligren and the King's pie you will scarcely understand the above verse; so I will tell you the whole story, and then you will be able to better appreciate the rhyme.Gilligren was an orphan, and lived with an uncle and aunt who were very unkind to him. They cuffed him and scolded him upon the slightest provocation, and made his life very miserable indeed. Gilligren never rebelled against this treatment, but bore their cruelty silently and with patience, although often he longed to leave them and seek a home amongst kinder people.It so happened that when Gilligren was twelve years old the King died, and his son was to be proclaimed King in his place, and crowned with great ceremony. People were flocking to London from all parts of the country, to witness the festivities, and the boy longed to go with them.[20]One evening he said to his uncle,"If I had sixpence I could make my fortune.""Pooh! nonsense!" exclaimed his uncle, "a sixpence is a small thing. How then could you make a fortune from it?""That I cannot tell you," replied Gilligren, "but if you will give me the sixpence I will go to London, and not return until I am a rich man.""The boy is a fool!" said his uncle, with anger; but the aunt spoke up quickly."Give him the money and let him go," she said, "and then we shall be well rid of him and no longer be obliged to feed and clothe him at our expense.""Well," said her husband, after a moment's thought, "here is the money; but remember, this is all I shall ever give you, and when it is gone you must not come to me for more.""Never fear," replied Gilligren, joyfully, as he put the sixpence in his pocket, "I shall not trouble you again."The next morning he cut a short stick to assist him in walking, and after bidding good-bye to his uncle and aunt he started upon his journey to London."The money will not last him two days," said the man, as he watched Gilligren go down the turnpike road, "and when it is gone he will starve to death.""Or he may fall in with people who will treat him worse than we did," rejoined the woman, "and then he'll wish he had never left us."[21]But Gilligren, nothing dismayed by thoughts of the future, trudged bravely along the London road.The world was before him, and the bright sunshine glorified the dusty road and lightened the tips of the dark green hedges that bordered his path. At the end of his pilgrimage was the great city, and he never doubted he would find therein proper work and proper pay, and much better treatment than he was accustomed to receive.So, on he went, whistling merrily to while away the time, watching the sparrows skim over the fields, and enjoying to the full the unusual sights that met his eyes. At noon he overtook a carter, who divided with the boy his luncheon of bread and cheese, and for supper a farmer's wife gave him a bowl of milk. When it grew dark he crawled under a hedge and slept soundly until dawn.The next day he kept steadily upon his way, and toward evening met a farmer with a wagon loaded with sacks of grain."Where are you going, my lad?" asked the man."To London," replied Gilligren, "to see the King crowned.""Have you any money?" enquired the farmer."Oh yes," answered Gilligren, "I have a sixpence.""If you will give me the sixpence," said the man, "I will give you a sack of rye for it.""What could I do with a sack of rye?" asked Gilligren, wonderingly.[22]"Take it to the mill, and get it ground into flour. With the flour you could have bread baked, and that you can sell.""That is a good idea," replied Gilligren, "so here is my sixpence, and now give me the sack of rye."The farmer put the sixpence carefully into his pocket, and then reached under the seat of the wagon and drew out a sack, which he cast on the ground at the boy's feet."There is your sack of rye," he said, with a laugh."But the sack is empty!" remonstrated Gilligren."Oh, no; there is some rye in it.""But only a handful!" said Gilligren, when he had opened the mouth of the sack and gazed within it."It is a sack of rye, nevertheless," replied the wicked farmer, "and I did not say how much rye there would be in the sack I would give you. Let this be a lesson to you never again to buy grain without looking into the sack!" and with that he whipped up his horses and left Gilligren standing in the road with the sack at his feet and nearly ready to cry at his loss."My sixpence is gone," he said to himself, "and I have received nothing in exchange but a handful of rye! How can I make my fortune with that?"He did not despair, however, but picked up the sack and continued his way along the dusty road. Soon it became too dark to travel farther, and Gilligren[23] stepped aside into a meadow, where, lying down upon the sweet grass, he rolled the sack into a pillow for his head and prepared to sleep.The rye that was within the sack, however, hurt his head, and he sat up and opened the sack."Why should I keep a handful of rye?" he thought, "It will be of no value to me at all."So he threw out the rye upon the ground, and rolling up the sack again for a pillow, was soon sound asleep.When he awoke the sun was shining brightly over his head and the twitter and chirping of many birds fell upon his ears. Gilligren opened his eyes and saw a large flock of blackbirds feeding upon the rye he had scattered upon the ground. So intent were they upon their feast they never noticed Gilligren at all.He carefully unfolded the sack, and spreading wide its opening threw it quickly over the flock of blackbirds. Some escaped and flew away, but a great many were caught, and Gilligren put his eye to the sack and found he had captured four and twenty. He tied the mouth of the sack with a piece of twine that was in his pocket, and then threw the sack over his shoulder and began again his journey to London."I have made a good exchange, after all," he thought, "for surely four and twenty blackbirds are worth more than a handful of rye, and perhaps even more than a sixpence, if I can find anyone who wishes to buy them."[24]He now walked rapidly forward, and about noon entered the great city of London.Gilligren wandered about the streets until he came to the King's palace, where there was a great concourse of people and many guards to keep intruders from the gates.Seeing he could not enter from the front, the boy walked around to the rear of the palace and found himself near the royal kitchen, where the cooks and other servants were rushing around tohasten the preparation of the King's dinner.Gilligren sat down upon a stone where he could watch them, and laying the sack at his feet was soon deeply interested in the strange sight.Presently a servant in the King's livery saw him and came to his side."What are you doing here?" he asked, roughly."I am waiting to see the King," replied Gilligren."The King! The King never comes here," said the servant; "and neither do we allow idlers about the royal kitchen. So depart at once, or I shall be forced to call a guard to arrest you."Gilligren arose obediently and slung his sack over his shoulder. As he did so the birds that were within began to flutter."What have you in the sack?" asked the servant."Blackbirds," replied Gilligren."Blackbirds!" echoed the servant, in surprise,[25] "well, that is very fortunate indeed. Come with me at once!" He seized the boy by the arm and drew him hastily along until they entered the great kitchen of the palace."Here, Mister Baker!" the man called, excitedly, "I have found your blackbirds!"A big, fat man who was standing in the middle of the kitchen with folded arms and a look of despair upon his round, greasy face, at once came toward them and asked eagerly,"The blackbirds? are you sure you can get them?""They are here already; the boy has a bag full of them.""Give them to me," said the cook, who wore a square cap, that was shaped like a box, upon his head."What do you want with them?" asked Gilligren."I want them for a pie for the King's dinner," answered Mister Baker; "His Majesty ordered the dish, and I have hunted all over London for the blackbirds, but could not find them. Now that you have brought them, however, you have saved me my position as cook, and perhaps my head as well.""But it would be cruel to put the beautiful birds in a pie," remonstrated Gilligren, "and I shall not give them to you for such a purpose.""Nonsense!" replied the cook, "the King has ordered it; he is very fond of the dish.""Still, you cannot have them," declared the boy[26] stoutly, "the birds are mine, and I will not have them killed.""But what can I do?" asked the cook, in perplexity; "the King has ordered a blackbird pie, and your birds are the only blackbirds in London."Gilligren thought deeply for a moment, and conceived what he thought to be a very good idea. If the sixpence was to make his fortune, then this was his great opportunity."You can have the blackbirds on two conditions," he said."What are they?" asked the cook."One is that you will not kill the birds. The other condition is that you secure me a position in the King's household.""How can I put live birds in a pie?" enquired the cook."Very easily, if you make the pie big enough to hold them. You can serve the pie after the King has satisfied his hunger with other dishes, and it will amuse the company to find live birds in the pie when they expected cooked ones.""It is a risky experiment," exclaimed the cook, "for I do not know the new King's temper. But the idea may please His Majesty, and since you will not allow me to kill the birds, it is the best thing I can do. As for your other condition, you seem to be a very bright boy, and so I will have the butler take[27] you as his page, and you shall stand back of the King's chair and keep the flies away while he eats."The butler being called, and his consent secured, the cook fell to making the crusts for his novel pie, while Gilligren was taken to the servants' hall and dressed in a gorgeous suit of the King's livery.When the dinner was served, the King kept looking for the blackbird pie, but he said nothing, and at last the pie was placed before him, its crusts looking light and brown, and sprigs of myrtle being stuck in the four corners to make it look more inviting.Although the King had already eaten heartily, he smacked his lips when he saw this tempting dish, and picking up the carving-fork he pushed it quickly into the pie.At once the crust fell in, and all the four and twenty blackbirds put up their heads and began to look about them. And coming from the blackness of the pie into the brilliantly lighted room they thought they were in the sunshine, and began to sing merrily, while some of the boldest hopped out upon the table or began flying around the room.At first the good King was greatly surprised; but soon, appreciating the jest, he lay back in his chair and laughed long and merrily. And his courtiers and the fine ladies present heartily joined in the laughter, for they also were greatly amused.Then the King called for the cook, and when[28] Mister Baker appeared, uncertain of his reception, and filled with many misgivings, His Majesty cried,"Sirrah! how came you to think of putting live birds in the pie?"The cook, fearing that the King was angry, answered,"May it please your Majesty, it was not my thought, but the idea of the boy who stands behind your chair."The King turned his head, and seeing Gilligren, who looked very well in his new livery, he said,"You are a clever youth, and deserve a better position than that of a butler's lad. Hereafter you shall be one of my own pages, and if you serve me faithfully I will advance your fortunes with your deserts."And Gilligren did serve the King faithfully, and as he grew older acquired much honor and great wealth."After all," he used to say, "that sixpence made my fortune. And it all came about through such a small thing as a handful of rye!"The Story of Little Boy BlueLittle Boy Blue, come blow your horn,The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn;Where's the little boy that minds the sheep?He's under the haystack, fast asleep!THERE once lived a poor widow who supported herself and her only son by gleaning in the fields the stalks of grain that had been missed by the reapers. Her little cottage was at the foot of a beautiful valley, upon the edge of the river that wound in and out among the green hills; and although poor, she was contented with her lot, for her home was pleasant and her lovely boy was a constant delight to her.He had big blue eyes, and fair golden curls, and he loved his good mother very dearly, and was never more pleased than when she allowed him to help her with her work.And so the years passed happily away till the boy was eight years old, but then the widow fell sick, and their little store of money melted gradually away."I don't know what we shall do for bread," she said, kissing her boy with tears in her eyes, "for I am not yet strong enough to work, and we have no money left."[32]"But I can work," answered the boy; "and I'm sure if I go to the Squire up at the Hall he will give me something to do."At first the widow was reluctant to consent to this, since she loved to keep her child at her side, but finally, as nothing else could be done, she decided to let him go to see the Squire.Being too proud to allow her son to go to the great house in his ragged clothes, she made him a new suit out of a pretty blue dress she had herself worn in happier times, and when it was finished and the boy dressed in it, he looked as pretty as a prince in a fairy tale. For the bright blue jacket set off his curls to good advantage, and the color just matched the blue of his eyes. His trousers were blue, also, and she took the silver buckles from her own shoes and put them on his, that he might appear the finer. And then she brushed his curls and placed his big straw hat upon them and sent him away with a kiss to see the Squire.It so happened that the great man was walking in his garden with his daughter Madge that morning, and was feeling in an especially happy mood, so that when he suddenly looked up and saw a little boy before him, he said, kindly,"Well, my child, what can I do for you?""If you please, sir," said the boy, bravely, although he was frightened at meeting the Squire face to face, "I want you to give me some work to do, so that I can earn money."[33]"Earn money!" repeated the Squire, "why do you wish to earn money?""To buy food for my mother, sir. We are very poor, and since she is no longer able to work for me I wish to work for her.""But what can you do?" asked the Squire; "you are too small to work in the fields.""I could earn something, sir, couldn't I?"His tone was so pleading that mistress Madge was unable to resist it, and even the Squire was touched. The young lady came forward and took the boy's hand in her own, and pressing back hiscurls, she kissed his fair cheek."You shall be our shepherd," she said, pleasantly, "and keep the sheep out of the meadows and the cows from getting into the corn. You know, father," she continued, turning to the Squire, "it was only yesterday you said you must get a boy to tend the sheep, and this little boy can do it nicely.""Very well," replied the Squire, "it shall be as you say, and if he is attentive and watchful he will be able to save me a good bit of trouble and so really earn his money."Then he turned to the child and said,"Come to me in the morning, my little man, and I will give you a silver horn to blow, that you may call the sheep and the cows whenever they go astray. What is your name?""Oh, never mind his name, papa!" broke in the[34] Squire's daughter; "I shall call him Little Boy Blue, since he is dressed in blue from head to foot, and his dress but matches his eyes. And you must give him a good wage, also, for surely no Squire before ever had a prettier shepherd boy than this.""Very good," said the Squire, cheerfully, as he pinched his daughter's rosy cheek; "be watchful, Little Boy Blue, and you shall be well paid."Then Little Boy Blue thanked them both very sweetly and ran back over the hill and into the valley where his home lay nestled by the river-side, to tell the good news to his mother.The poor widow wept tears of joy when she heard his story, and smiled when he told her that his name was to be Little Boy Blue. She knew the Squire was a kind master and would be good to her darling son.Early the next morning Little Boy Blue was at the Hall, and the Squire's steward gave him a new silver horn, that glistened brightly in the sunshine, and a golden cord to fasten it around his neck. And then he was given charge of the sheep and the cows, and told to keep them from straying into the meadowlands and the fields of grain.It was not hard work, but just suited to Little Boy Blue's age, and he was watchful and vigilant and made a very good shepherd boy indeed. His mother needed food no longer, for the Squire paid her son liberally and the Squire's daughter made a favorite of the small shepherd and loved to hear the call of his silver horn[35] echoing amongst the hills. Even the sheep and the cows were fond of him, and always obeyed the sound of his horn; therefore the Squire's corn thrived finely, and was never trampled.Little Boy Blue was now very happy, and his mother was proud and contented and began to improve in health. After a few weeks she became strong enough to leave the cottage and walk a。
