A GRASSHOPPER’S TRIP TO THE
CITY.

NCE upona time there was a green Grass-
() hopper, who lived with his papa and
mamma, his brother and sisters, under a

daisy in a green field. Near them was a big red
house, and in the house lived a boy whose name
was Southworth. This boy owned a beautiful cat
called Propriety, which was a very long name, but
then she was a very long cat. She was gray, and
had the greenest eyes you ever saw, but she had
one serious fault—she was very fond of eating
grasshoppers. She would crouch in the long
grass, and when one appeared, out would come
her paw, and that grasshopper would never, never
hop any more. She knew no better, but that did

not make it any happier for the grasshopper.
