One nice warm day, as Bully No-Tail, the frog boy, was hopping along through the woods, he felt so very happy that he whistled a little tune on a whistle he made from a willow stick. And the tune he whistled went like this, when you sing it: “I am a little froggie boy, Without a bit of tail. In fact I’m like a guinea pig, Who eats out of a pail.

Sometimes Ted and Jan helped around the kitchen by drying the dishes or helping set the table or clear it off. One afternoon, when it was almost time to get supper, Mrs. Martin sent Ted to the spring for a pail of water. She wanted one so they could all have a fresh drink, as it was rather warm that day. "I'll go with you," offered Janet. "Me come too," added Trouble.

Of course, such a pail cannot be milked full; but it should be large enough to contain all the milk which a single cow can give at a milking; because it is undesirable to rise from a cow before the milking is finished, or to exchange one dish for another while the milking is in progress.

"Yes, I think I could do it by tying on this pail." "But, since I would not trouble the men to get it, I cannot in conscience let you." "I don't mind the trouble at all." He made fast the pail to the long coil of rope, put it over the wheel, and allowed it to descend by letting the rope slip through his hands. Before it had gone far, however, he checked it.

It was borne to her of a sudden that they were in need of one in whom they might confide, of one from whom good advice might come; she felt impelled to tell this stalwart young man, whose eyes read kindness and whose face read right, who seemed to bear them nothing but good-will, that they had not filed the claim. And then The fire crackled cosily, the blackened pail steamed from the cross-piece.

Hastily catching up the bonds, she thrust them into the bosom of her gown and turned to face Blood River Jack, who entered, bearing a steaming pail of broth and a larger pail covered with a clean white cloth. Behind him Daddy Dunnigan noisily stamped the snow from his feet.

At this season, she informed me, it was fit for gathering to pickle and put by for use during the year. She carried a pail to put it in, and a table-knife in her hand to dig the plants up by the roots, and she also had an old sack in which she put every dry stick and chip of wood she came across. She added that she had gathered samphire at this same spot every August end for very many years.

She pointed to a small metal box in the midst of the ashes. "Poem on Spring, probably, put into the corner-stone by the builder of the mattress." "Don't be foolish," she said, with assumed severity. "Get me a pail of water." With two sticks they lifted it into the water and waited, impatiently enough, until they were sure it was cool.

Jessie was delighted, she liked Tom Salter, for though he spoke but little, he had often done her a kindness, helping her carry a heavy scuttle of coal up the stairs, or a pail of water; and many a time, of a Saturday night, he cleaned several pairs of the lodgers' boots for her in readiness for Sunday; and many other kindly acts he had done, that meant much to the little over-burthened worker, for Jessie's life was a hard one in those days.

The top shelf, to carry the pail or other water container, should be of 1-inch stuff; and the two lower shelves be not more than 5 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick. Space the shelves at least 11 inches apart, so that they may accommodate tall bottles.
