Paul Revere's Ride
In this classic piece of American poetry, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow commemorates the actions of American Patriot Paul Revere on April 18, 1775. The tale depicts Paul Revere's exciting midnight ride to warn all the neighbors in the countryside that the British were coming-one light if by land and two if by sea.
Pied Piper of Hamelin
The Pied Piper of Hamelin got rid of the pesky, hated rats, but when the villagers refused to pay for his services, the Pied Piper took matters into his own hands-and the villagers paid a very dear price, indeed.
Old poems of exciting events for the children in all of us.
Paul Revere's exciting midnight ride to warn all the neighbors in the countryside that the British were coming ... one light if by land and two if by sea.
And The Pied Piper of Hamelin...got rid of the pesty hated rats, but when the villagers refused to pay for his services, the Pied Piper took matters into his own hands...and the villagers paid a very dear price, indeed, in the end.
