1930? Old Fables in New Rhymes. Marian B. Cochrane and Florence A. Camp. No. 8475. Springfield, MA: Milton Bradley Company. Unknown source.
This is a curious game. Fifteen (of sixteen?) heavy cardboard cards are still here, each representing a verse version of a childhood story. The first and third line of each quatrain is blank. The child needs to substitute a word that makes sense and rhymes with its partner two lines away. Two of the cards (#4 and #8 in the hand-numbering here) present FC and TH. Someone (a teacher perhaps?) has filled out a smaller card for each of the numbered stories: the card contains correct words for filling the blanks. One of those words, according to the scribe, is “unsterstand.” Actually the verse version of FC here is quite good. I may use it soon in some oral presentation!
