In this ‘Cautionary Tale’, we hear what happened when naughty Jim gave his nurse the slip.
Hilaire Belloc’s Cautionary Tales for Children first appeared in 1907. For nearly two hundred years, writers of the calibre of Isaac Watts had been turning out poetry of moral improvement for children, and for almost as long writers of the calibre of Lewis Carroll had been poking fun at it. This was the first tale in Belloc’s collection.

A nurse took Jim to the zoo. He got away from her. A lion caught him. [Escape. Slip. Victim.]
Jim cried out. The keeper ran to him. Jim was dead. [Late. Save. Time.]
