Jack and Jill went up the hill To coast with fun and laughter Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. CHAPTER I. - THE CATASTROPHE - CLEAR the lulla was the general cry on a bright December afternoon, when all the boys and girls of Harmony Village were out enjoying the first good snow of the season. Up and down three long coaststhey went as fast as legs and sleds could carry them. One smooth path led into the meadow, and here the little folk congregated one swept across the pond, where skaters were darting about like water-bugs and the third, from the very top of the steep hill, ended abruptly at a rail fence on the high bank above the road.
