<p>They were all very sad, and the girl in the pink
frock was crying bitterly, for they had been
to the woods, and on the way home the wooden
horse had fallen over on one side and broken off
his head.</p>
<p>"Don't cry so, pray don't cry so," the little one
said, as she knelt down in front of her sister,
and tried to kiss her.</p>
<p>"And oh, sister," said the brother, "it would
have been far worse if he had lost his tail too.
Besides, perhaps he does not mind much; it is not
as if he were alive."</p>
<p>"Ah, yes," sobbed the tall girl. "But when you
are as old as I am you will know that it is a
terrible thing to lose your head, even if it is only
wooden."</p>
