Página 309 - I do To prove the warm affection I've always felt for you? I have within my pantry Good store of all that's nice; I'm sure you're very welcome — Will you please to take a slice?'* "Oh, no, no!" said the little fly, "Kind sir, that cannot be; I've heard what's in your pantry, And I do not wish to see.
