Excerpt from Dick Whittington, and Other Stories: Based on the Tales in "the Blue Fairy Book" Dick whittington was a very little boy when his father and mother died; so little, indeed, that he never knew them, nor the place where he was born. He strolled about the country ragged and neglected, till he met a wagoner who was going to London, and who gave him leave to walk by the side of his wagon without paying anything. This pleased little Whittington very much, for he wanted to see London, as he had heard that the streets were paved with gold, and he was willing to get a bushel of it. But how great was his disappointment, poor boy, when he saw the streets covered with dirt instead of gold, and found himself in a strange place, without a friend, without food, and without money!
