A moralistic story with uncertain origin which warns about how haste makes waste. It has been told by the likes of the Brothers Grimm.
For this fully family friendly version of the tale we turn to author Katherine Pyle, an American artist, poet, and children's writer, sister of author and artist Howard Pyle.
Pyle told this version in Mother’s Nursery Tales, a collection of stories she published in 1918. Something we will be coming back to again for other classic nursery tales.
