    Freddie saw some fine ripe cherries hanging on a cherry tree, and he said "you pretty cherry will you not come down to me".
    Freddie jumped and tried to catch it, but the cherry only danced and bobbed about and tickled Freddie's nose.
    "Never mind", says little Freddie. "I shall have it when it's ripe."
    But the blackbird whistled boldly I will eat them all tonight.
