"My master was very fond of her, and that made me feel cross. "I used to bark at the baby and show all my teeth.

"After that they did not let me go near her.

"I did not see the baby for a long time, but I did not care for that.

A kiss when I wake in the morning, A kiss when I go to bed,

A kiss when I burn my finger,

A kiss when I hurt my head.

A kiss when my bath is over,

A kiss when my bath begins;
My mamma is full of kisses,
As full as nurse is of pins.

A kiss when I play with my rattle, A kiss when I pull her hair; She covered me over with kisses

The day I fell from the stair.

A kiss when I give her trouble,
A kiss when I give her joy;
There's nothing like mamma's kisses
For her own little baby boy.
