THE STORY OF LITTLE BLACK MINGO
By The Author Of
'The Story Of Little Black Sambo'
The Story of Little Black Mingo.
Once upon a time there was a little black girl, and her name was Little
Black Mingo.
[Illustration]
She had no father and mother, so she had to live with a horrid cross old
woman called Black Noggy, who used to scold her every day, and
sometimes beat her with a stick, even though she had done nothing
naughty.
[Illustration]
One day Black Noggy called her, and said, "Take this chatty down to the
river and fill it with water, and come back as fast as you can, _quick
now_!"
[Illustration]
So Little Black Mingo took the chatty and ran down to the river as fast
as she could, and began to fill it with water, when Cr-r-rrrack!!!
Bang!!! a horrible big Mugger poked its nose up through the bottom of
the chatty and said "Ha ha! Little Mingo, I'm going to eat you up!"
[Illustration]
Little Black Mingo did not say anything. She turned and ran away as fast
as ever she could, and the Mugger ran after her. But the broken chatty
round his neck caught his paws, so he could not overtake her.
