| Shakespeare says something about worms, or it may be giants or beetles, turning if you tread on them too severely. Chanticleer observing that they were but thin fellows, and not likely to take up much room, told them they might ride, but made them promise not to dirty the wheels of the carriage in getting in, nor to tread on Partlet's toes. So, in order not to offend him, we must not tread on a single blossom. |
