1. Tid was an elf. He was such a dear wee elf. One day, he had a pail and a brush.
2. "I shall paint this green leaf red," he said. Then he sat on a rail near by and did so.
3. "It will just do as a sail for my boat." His boat was a nut-shell.
4. He had to fix the sail on with a nail. He saw one in the drain.
5. Such fun he had, when he went for a sail in his shell!
6. "Pit-pat! Pit-pat!" said big drops of rain.
Oh dear! said Tid, "I must get my boat to the bank. I can wait near the tree till the rain stops."
7. "Rain-drops, do not bend my red sail," said Tid.
8. "No," said the rain-drops, "we shall stop to-day, and let the sun see your boat with its red leaf sail."
