THE SLY KING. 35

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suppose the boys will like this one better.
Here is the king once more, so glad to find him-
self on a chair instead of on horseback. He is
telling the master of the doll-house all about it,
and of how nobly he rode the animal, though it
tried its best to throw him off Oh, what a sly
fellow! when we know what a coward he really is.
The doll, who is the master of the doll-house,
_ seems to be listening most attentively, and is glad
to hear that the king has made such a lucky escape.
