Ayliyahs Legends
JELLYFISH IN
SEARCH OF A MONKEY
THIS IS A TALE THEY
TELL IN JAPAN OF THE ORIGIN OF THE JELLYFISH WE
FIND STRANDED ON OUR BEACHES
!
Long, long ago, instead of soft tentacles, he
had a bunch of legs as graceful as a greyhound's,
ans as for his figure the proudest pig in Ireland
could not vie with him for firmly arched, well
covered ribs. Naturally, he was the
administration of all the other fish, for, besides
being nimble and stately, he was the only deep sea
thing that could walk on land as well as swim in
the water. Unfortunately, he was like too many
human beings, who simply rely on their good looks
to make them popular, and do not trouble to develop
their brains, therefore this handsome creature was
exceedingly
stupid.
One day Jellyfish was strolling about the shore of
a coral island, when a flying fish shot out of the
waves, and told him that he was summoned to the
palace of the Dragon
King.
As he approached the audience chamber he could hear
by the clanking of golden scales that the Dragon
King was pacing about in the greatest agitation,
but his brow cleared as he caught sight of
Jellyfish. " I
thought you would never come
! " he cried. " And the Queen gets worse every hour
! Listen, the doctors say that she can be cured by
swallowing the liver of a wild monkey. You are the
only fish who can go ashore. You must swim, as you
have never swum in your life, find the bit of land
that has monkeys on it and then persuade the monkey
to return with you. If you succeeed I will
make you Grand Warden of the Indian Ocean, with the
right to a coronet of pearl shell and cowrie. "
Jellyfish hardly stopped to bow; in a very little
while he was wading out of the breakers on to a
lovely island of palm trees and scarlet hibiscus.
The first animal he saw was a small grey monkey
with a friendly countenance. Jellyfish hailed him
gladly :
" Ho, you
Master Monkey there ! I am sent by the Dragon King
of all the seas; to ask that you come to the
palace. "
The monkey's shrivelled face beamed with
pleasure. Never had he dreamed of receiving a royal
invitation, and he was
all to ready to accept this.
For a little while Jellyfish, with the
monkey on his back, swam in silence, for he was
short of breath, but soon he asked: " By
the way, I hope you have got your liver with you ?
" Now the monkey was not smart like
Jellyfish, but he he kept his wits about
him. "Erm, and why do you ask that ?" he
inquired "Well, " said Jellyfish, "the
Queen is really poorly and the doctors say she can
only be saved by swallowing the liver of a live
monkey. " At this the monkey exclaimed,
"Oh dear me, what a thousand pities ! I left my
hanging out to air at the top of the coconot palm.
I think we had better hurry back and get it at
once." "We must indeed, " said the
Jellyfish. And back they went. A s soon as they
arrived back at the palm, the monkey was away to
the top, and then he called down. "Go
away, stupid ! I wont part with my liver for any
Queen, in the sea or out. " Then to clinch the
arguement he threw nut at Jellyfish till he ran
into the sea. All his knees knocked together as
he told the tale of his failure, and the Dragon
King smoked with rage. When he had stammered out
his last word the Dragon King roared to his
servants: " Beat him ! Break him to
within an inch of his life ! Break every bone in
his body ! In fact beat him to a jelly !" " And
that's it, the end of the story. And poor
Jellyfish, ..... well, sad to say, he really did
become a jelly-fish.

FREDERIC OGDEN
NASH
Was an American poet well known for his
light verse. At the time of his death in 1971, the
New York Times said his "droll verse with
its unconventional rhymes made him the country's
best-known producer of humorous
poetry".
I love Ogden Nash, and the
wonderful Eugene Field. The Tale of the Custard
Dragon obviously appeals to me more than most,
due to my own books which are all about Dragons and
Yourds, and strange beasties. I hope to have
the third book finished before the summer of
2010.
The Tale of the Custard
Dragon
Belinda lived in a little white house,
With a little
black kitten and a little grey mouse,
And a little yellow dog and a little red wagon,
And a realio, trulio, little pet dragon.
Now the name of
the little black kitten was Ink,
And the little grey mouse, she called her Blink,
And the little yellow dog was sharp as Mustard,
But the dragon was a coward, and she called him
Custard.
Custard the
dragon had big sharp teeth,
And spikes on top of him and scales underneath,
Mouth like a fireplace, chimney for a nose,
And realio, trulio, daggers on his toes.
To read all this wonderful verse please go to Diddilydeedot's Dreamland it is in Sunday Tales, and is wonderful.

Dot's Dream-Land gives you : ALL THE
CHILDREN
I suppose if all the children who have
lived through the ages long Were collected and
inspected they would make a wonderous
throng. Oh, the babble of the Babel ! Oh, the
flutter and the fuss ! To begin with Cain and
Abel, and to finish up with
US.
Think of all
the men and women who are now and who have been
- Every nation since creation that this world of
ours have seen, And of all of them not any, but
was once a baby small; While of children, oh,
how many have NOT grown up at all
! Some have never
laughed or spoken, never used their rosy
feet; Some have even
flown to heaven ere they knew that earth was sweet
! And indeed I wonder whether, if we reckon
every birth And bring such
a flock together, there is room for them on
earth.
Two beautiful little nursery rhymes that children all over the world can learn, enjoy from all in diddilydeedotsdreamland,
Doctor Do-Diddily and the Dee-Dot's
I often sit and wish that I Could be a kite up in the sky, And ride upon the breeze, and go Whatever way it chanced to blow; Then I could look beyond the town, And see the river winding down, And follow all the ships that sail, Like me, before the merry gale, Until at last with them I came To some place with a foreign name
SLEEP, BEAUTY BRIGHT William Blake wrote this little cradle song. It is rather beautiful, don't you think ?
Sleep, sleep, beauty bright, Dreaming in the joys of night; Sleep, sleep; in thy sleep Little sorrows sit and weep.
Sweee babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace Secret joys and secret smiles, Pretty little infant wiles.
As the softest limbs I feel, Smiles as of the morning steal O'er thy cheek and o'er thy breast Where thy little heart doth rest. Oh, thy cunning wiles that creep In thy little heart asleep ! When the little heart doeth wake Then the dreadful light shall break.
