They tell them a curious story -I don't believe 'tis true;And yet you may learn a lessonIf I tell the tale to you.
Away, away in the Northland,Where the hours of the day are few,And the nights are so long in the winterThat they cannot sleep them through;
The Legend Of The Northland
Where they harness the swift reindeerTo the sledges, when it snows;And the children look like bear's cubsIn their funny, furry clothes:
Once, when the good Saint PeterLived in the world below,And walked about it, preaching,Just as he did, you know,
He came to the door of a cottage,In travelling round the earth,Where a little woman was making cakes,And baking them on the hearth;
And being faint with fasting,For the day was almost done,He asked her, from her store of cakes,To give him a single one.
So she made a very little cake, But as it baking lay,She looked at it, and thought it seemedToo large to give away.
Then she took a tiny scrap of dough, And rolled and rolled it flat;And baked it as this as a wafer -But she couldn't part with that
Therefore she kneaded another,And still a smaller one;But it looked, when she turned it over,As large as the first had done.
For she said, " " So she put them on the shelf.
"My cakes that seem too small when I eat of them myself are yet too large to give away."
