Time to exercise your funny bone. This fun collection of stories from around the world will make children of all ages smile and chuckle. A LAUGHING SONG<br />When the greenwoods laugh with the voice of joy,<br />And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;<br />When the air does laugh with our merry wit,<br />And the green hill laughs with the noise of it;<br />When the meadows laugh with lively green,<br />And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene;<br />When Mary and Susan and Emily<br />With their sweet round mouths sing “Ha, ha, he!”<br />When the painted birds laugh in the shade,<br />Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread;<br />Come live and be merry and join with me<br />To sing the sweet chorus of “Ha, ha, he!”<br />William Blake. - Summary by Lynne Thompson
