went to the gro - cer to buy him some fruit, but when she came back he was play - ing the flute.

3. She went to the dairy to buy him some cheese

But she came back he was scratching his fleas

4. She went to the barber to buy him a wig,

But when she came back, he was dancing a jig.

5. She went to the hatter to buy him a hat

But when she came back he was feeding the cat!

6. She went to the tailor to buy him a coat,

But when she came back, he was riding a goat.

7. She went to the cobbler to buy him some shoes,

But when she came back, he was reading the news.

8. She went to the butcher to buy him a bone,

And when she got back, he was waiting at home!
