But lately I'm pleading with the air
To keep you safe from harm my dears
The only thing that you should keep in rows
Are your perfect teeth - and the rest you know
It's own sweet way will always go
Add your footsteps to the wear
For a tiny dent in every stair
Will let them know that you've been there

I love all the Ladybird books. How many generations are they on now?
Dad is great at picking them up, tho there is definitely a good few from our day, including the first book I ever read by myself, Rumplestilskin. ( I think. Hmm...must check that...)
The Rumplestilskin terrified me when we were kids! The painting of him stomping his foot through the floor at the end...ugh. I recently discover that in the original story he tears himself in half with rage in the end.
I think old Rumples deserved an even break.
