How
long
I
sat
after
I
had
eaten
my
bread
and
honey
,
I
don
’
t
know
.
The
little
man
was
busy
about
the
room
,
pulling
a
string
here
,
and
a
string
there
,
but
chiefly
the
string
at
the
back
of
the
door
.
I
was
thinking
with
some
uneasiness
that
he
would
soon
be
wanting
me
to
go
out
and
clean
the
windows
,
and
I
didn
’
t
fancy
the
job
.
At
last
he
came
up
to
me
with
a
great
armful
of
dusters
.
'
It
’
s
time
you
set
about
the
windows
,
’
he
said
;
'
for
there
’
s
rain
coming
,
and
if
they
’
re
quite
clean
before
,
then
the
rain
can
’
t
spoil
them
.
’
I
got
up
at
once
.
'
You
needn
’
t
be
afraid
,
’
he
said
.
'
You
won
’
t
tumble
off
.
Only
you
must
be
careful
.
Always
hold
on
with
one
hand
while
you
rub
with
the
other
.
’
As
he
spoke
,
he
opened
the
door
.
I
started
back
in
a
terrible
fright
,
for
there
was
nothing
but
blue
air
to
be
seen
under
me
,
like
a
great
water
without
a
bottom
at
all
.
But
what
must
be
must
,
and
to
live
up
here
was
so
much
nicer
than
down
in
the
mud
with
holes
in
my
shoes
,
that
I
never
thought
of
not
doing
as
I
was
told
.
The
little
man
showed
me
how
and
where
to
lay
hold
while
I
put
my
foot
round
the
edge
of
the
door
on
to
the
first
round
of
a
ladder
.
'
Once
you
’
re
up
,
’
he
said
,
'
you
’
ll
see
how
you
have
to
go
well
enough
.
’
I
did
as
he
told
me
,
and
crept
out
very
carefully
.
Then
the
little
man
handed
me
the
bundle
of
dusters
,
saying
,
'
I
always
carry
them
on
my
reaping
hook
,
but
I
don
’
t
think
you
could
manage
it
properly
.
You
shall
have
it
if
you
like
.
’
I
wouldn
’
t
take
it
,
however
,
for
it
looked
dangerous
.
“
I
did
the
best
I
could
with
the
dusters
,
and
crawled
up
to
the
top
of
the
moon
.
But
what
a
grand
sight
it
was
!
The
stars
were
all
over
my
head
,
so
bright
and
so
near
that
I
could
almost
have
laid
hold
of
them
.
The
round
ball
to
which
I
clung
went
bobbing
and
floating
away
through
the
dark
blue
above
and
below
and
on
every
side
.
It
was
so
beautiful
that
all
fear
left
me
,
and
I
set
to
work
diligently
.
I
cleaned
window
after
window
.
At
length
I
came
to
a
very
little
one
,
in
at
which
I
peeped
.
There
was
the
room
with
the
box
of
bees
in
it
!
I
laid
my
ear
to
the
window
,
and
heard
the
musical
hum
quite
distinctly
.
A
great
longing
to
see
them
came
upon
me
,
and
I
opened
the
window
and
crept
in
.
The
little
box
had
a
door
like
a
closet
.
I
opened
it
—
the
tiniest
crack
—
when
out
came
the
light
with
such
a
sting
that
I
closed
it
again
in
terror
—
not
,
however
,
before
three
bees
had
shot
out
into
the
room
,
where
they
darted
about
like
flashes
of
lightning
.
Terribly
frightened
,
I
tried
to
get
out
of
the
window
again
,
but
I
could
not
:
there
was
no
way
to
the
outside
of
the
moon
but
through
the
door
;
and
that
was
in
the
room
where
the
lady
sat
.
No
sooner
had
I
reached
the
room
,
than
the
three
bees
,
which
had
followed
me
,
flew
at
once
to
the
lady
,
and
settled
upon
her
hair
.
Then
first
I
saw
her
move
.
She
started
,
put
up
her
hand
,
and
caught
them
;
then
rose
and
,
having
held
them
into
the
flame
of
the
lamp
one
after
the
other
,
turned
to
me
.
Her
face
was
not
so
sad
now
as
stern
.
It
frightened
me
much
.
'
Nanny
,
you
have
got
me
into
trouble
,
’
she
said
.
'
You
have
been
letting
out
my
bees
,
which
it
is
all
I
can
do
to
manage
.
You
have
forced
me
to
burn
them
.
It
is
a
great
loss
,
and
there
will
be
a
storm
.
’
As
she
spoke
,
the
clouds
had
gathered
all
about
us
.
I
could
see
them
come
crowding
up
white
about
the
windows
.
'
I
am
sorry
to
find
,
’
said
the
lady
,
'
that
you
are
not
to
be
trusted
.
You
must
go
home
again
—
you
won
’
t
do
for
us
.
’
Then
came
a
great
clap
of
thunder
,
and
the
moon
rocked
and
swayed
.
All
grew
dark
about
me
,
and
I
fell
on
the
floor
and
lay
half
-
stunned
.
I
could
hear
everything
but
could
see
nothing
.
'
Shall
I
throw
her
out
of
the
door
,
my
lady
?
’
said
the
little
man
.
'
No
,
’
she
answered
;
'
she
’
s
not
quite
bad
enough
for
that
.
I
don
’
t
think
there
’
s
much
harm
in
her
;
only
she
’
ll
never
do
for
us
.
She
would
make
dreadful
mischief
up
here
.
She
’
s
only
fit
for
the
mud
.
It
’
s
a
great
pity
.
I
am
sorry
for
her
.
Just
take
that
ring
off
her
finger
.
I
am
sadly
afraid
she
has
stolen
it
.
’
The
little
man
caught
hold
of
my
hand
,
and
I
felt
him
tugging
at
the
ring
.
I
tried
to
speak
what
was
true
about
it
,
but
,
after
a
terrible
effort
,
only
gave
a
groan
.
Other
things
began
to
come
into
my
head
.
Somebody
else
had
a
hold
of
me
.
The
little
man
wasn
’
t
there
I
opened
my
eyes
at
last
,
and
saw
the
nurse
.
I
had
cried
out
in
my
sleep
,
and
she
had
come
and
waked
me
.
But
,
Diamond
,
for
all
it
was
only
a
dream
,
I
cannot
help
being
ashamed
of
myself
yet
for
opening
the
lady
’
s
box
of
bees
.
”
“
You
wouldn
’
t
do
it
again
—
would
you
—
if
she
were
to
take
you
back
?
”
said
Diamond
.
“
No
.
I
don
’
t
think
anything
would
ever
make
me
do
it
again
.
But
where
’
s
the
good
?
I
shall
never
have
the
chance
.
”
“
I
don
’
t
know
that
,
”
said
Diamond
.
“
You
silly
baby
!
It
was
only
a
dream
,
”
said
Nanny
.
“
I
know
that
,
Nanny
,
dear
.
But
how
can
you
tell
you
mayn
’
t
dream
it
again
?
”
