6 My Bed is a Boat not his father, was the head of the family. As forthe Ogre, he did not awaken till late in the evening,and then without his hoots he was almost helpless.As he was fat and unwieldy, he could scarcely walkwithout assistance, so he lay back upon the rock andsoon fell asleep again. While he was in this con-dition robbers really did come, and setting upon himtliey beat him to death, which was surely no morethan he deserved. MY BED IS A BOAT By Robert Louis Stevenson My bed is like a little boat; Nurse helps me in when I embark;She girds me in my sailors coat And starts me in the dark. At night, I go on board and say Good-night to all my friends on shore; I shut my eyes and sail away.And see and hear no more. And sometimes things to bed I take,As prudent sailors have to do; Perhaps a slice of wedding cake,Perhaps, a toy or two. All night across the dark we steer; But when the day returns at last^Safe in my room, beside the pier, I find mv vessel fast. Mv Bed is a Boat 127
