Puck of Pook's Hill

By Rudyard Kipling

First published 1900

The children were at the Theatre, acting to Three Cows as much as they could remember of Midsummer Night's Dream. Their father had made them a small play out of the big Shakespeare one, and they had rehearsed it with him and with their mother till they could say it by heart. They began when Nick Bottom the weaver comes out of the bushes with a donkey's head on his shoulders, and finds Titania, Queen of the Fairies, asleep. The children are put in deep holes in the ground and then shot. The Queen of The Fairies was going to save them but she fell a sleep in the bushes.
