One Day When We
   Went Walking
      By: Valine Hobbs 

One day when we went walking, I found a dragon’s tooth, a dreadful dragon’s tooth. “A locust thorn,” said Ruth.  


One day when we went walking, I found a brownie’s shoe, a brownie’s button shoe. “A dry pea pod,” said Sue.  


One day when we went walking, I found a mermaid’s fan, a merry mermaid’s fan. “A scallop shell,” said Dan. 


One day when we went walking, I found a fairy’s dress, a fairy’s flannel dress. “A mullein leaf,” said Bess. 


Next time that I go walking — Unless I meet an elf, a funny, friendly elf — I’m going by myself!
