The refrains in this story were first made up during the actual ride. Later they served to recall the experience with vividness. This story is given only as a type which any one may use when helping a two-year-old to live over an experience.
One day Marni went for a ride. Little Aa, he climbed into Sprague's wagon and Marni, she climbed in behind him. Then Mother took the handle and she began to pull the wagon with little Aa and Marni in it. And Mother she went:
Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, _And_ Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog!
And the wheels, they went, (with motion of hands):
Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, _And_ Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round!
And then Mother was tired. So she stopped. And Marni said, "Whoa, horsie!"
Then Little Aa said, "Ugh, ugh!" for he wanted to go.
But Marni said, "Get up, horsie!" for she wanted to go too. So Mother took hold of the handle and went:
Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, _And_ Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog!
Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, _And_ Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round!
And then Mother was tired. So she stopped, and Marni said, "Whoa, horsie!"
Then Little Aa said, "Ugh, ugh!" for he wanted to go. But Marni said "Get up, horsie!" for she wanted to go too. So Mother took hold of the handle and went,
Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, _And_ Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog, jog, jog, jog, Jog!
Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, _And_ Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round, round, round, round, Round!
And then Mother was very, _very_ tired. So she stopped. And Marni said, "Whoa, horsie!"
Then Little Aa said, "Ugh, ugh!" for he wanted to go again. But Marni said "Get up, horsie!" for she wanted to go too. But Mother she was very, _very_, VERY tired. She had jogged, jogged, jogged so long and made the wheels go round, round, round, round, so much! So she said, "The ride is all over!" Then Little Aa climbed down out of the wagon and Marni climbed down out of the wagon. And Marni said, "Goodbye, wagon!" and ran away!
