He is very, very like me, from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow   Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; For he sometimes shoots up taller, like an india rubber ball, And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all. [Illustration: "_I have a little shadow._"] He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play, And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.

It falls on field and tree, It rains on the umbrellas here, And on the ships at sea. [Illustration] FOREIGN CHILDREN Little Indian, Sioux or Crow, Little frosty Eskimo, Little Turk or Japanee, O! don't you wish that you were me? You have seen the scarlet trees And the lions over seas; You have eaten ostrich eggs, And turned the turtles off their legs. Such a life is very fine, But it's not so nice as mine: You must often, as you trod, Have wearied _not_ to be abroad. You have curious things to eat, I am fed on proper meat; You must dwell beyond the foam, But I am safe and live at home. [Illustration] LOOKING FORWARD When I am grown to man's estate I shall be very proud and great, And tell the other girls and boys Not to meddle with my toys. MY SHADOW I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.  MY SHADOW BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON READ FROM LEIBEVOXEDOTT ORG BY JANNUS GREEN HEMMAWAY SOUTH CAROLINA I HAVE A LITTLE SHADOW THAT GOES IN AND OUT WITH ME AND WHAT CAN BE THE USE OF HIM IS MORE THAN I CAN SEE
