Shock-headed Peter doesn't cut his nails or brush his hair.
Augusts refused to eat his soup and died.
Fred was mean so a dog bit him and then ate his food.
Harriet played with matches and was burned to a pile of ash.
So what do we learn?
Be clean! Eat! Be Nice! Don't play with matches!
Scandinavian Children's Literature (SCAND 335) is going to be awesome.
