Charles Edward Carryl, Robinson Crusoe’s Story (1919)
“ When I found the moths were eating off the hair; And I had to scrape and sand ’em, And I boiled ’em and I tanned ’em, Till I got the fine morocco suit I wear. I sometimes seek diversion In a family excursion With the few domestic animals you see; And we take along a carrot As refreshment for the parrot, And a little can of jungleberry tea.“If the roads are wet and muddy we remain at home and study. ”
