The Cuckoo Clock

CHAPTER IV
5/25

If you will amuse me, cuckoo, I will count that you are playing with me." "How shall I amuse you ?" inquired he.
"Oh, that's for you to find out!" exclaimed Griselda.

"You might tell me fairy stories, you know: if you're a fairy you should know lots; or--oh yes, of course that would be far nicer--if you are a fairy you might take me with you to fairyland." Again the cuckoo shook his head.
"That," said he, "I cannot do." "Why not ?" said Griselda.

"Lots of children have been there." "I doubt it," said the cuckoo.

"_Some_ may have been, but not lots.

And some may have thought they had been there who hadn't really been there at all.
