Dudley Pippin is a friend of mine. He's about your
Age. Or maybe just a little bit older. One day
At Dudley's school, the sand table tipped over
Dudley Pippin!
I didn't do it!
But his teacher didn't believe him. And
She made him stay a long time after school
I don't care. I didn't do it!
Dudley was very angry. Finally, he was allowed
To go home. On his way, Dudley met the principal
Hello, Dudley!
He had a long nose and fierce eyes
People are saying you tipped over the sand table at school today
Dudley just shook his head. He was too
Angry to say anything. It just wasn't fair
You mean you didn't do it?
Dudley could only nod again
Well, we'll have to do something about that first
Thing tomorrow. You look like you're about to cry
N-not me
ย
Well, that was fine!
I'm sorry
What for? You did that very well
But only sissies cry
A sissy is somebody who doesn't cry because he's
Afraid people will call him a sissy if he does cry
Well, I'm all mixed up
Of course you are. Why should you be any different from anybody
Else? Most people spend their lives trying to get unmixed up
Then the principal took a little blue flute out of his pocket
Say, just listen to this nice tune I learned yesterday. It's lovely!
And he began to play. And the music was sad and
Joyous. And it filled the quiet street and went
Out over the darkling trees and the whole world
