Once there was a girl name jenny

She was like all the other girls
Except for one thing.

She always wore a green ribbon
Around her neck

There was a boy named Alfred
In her class.

Alfred like jenny, and Jenny liked Alfred

One day he asked her, "why do you wear that ribbon all the time?"

"I cannot tell you," said jenny

But Alfred kept asking,
"Why do you wear it?"

And jenny would say,
"It is not important."

Jenny and Alfred grew up
And fell in love.

One day they got married.

After their wedding, Alfred said,
"Now we are married you must tell me about the green ribbon."

"You still must wait."
Said jenny

"I will tell you when the right times comes."

Years passed

Alfred and jenny grew old
One day jenny became very sick

The doctor told her
She was dying.
Jenny called Alfred to her side.

"Alfred" she said,
"Now I can tell you about the green ribbon

Untie it,

And you will see
Why I could not tell you before "

Slowly and carefully

Alfred untied the ribbon.

And Jenny's head fell

             Off..
