There was once a little white baby boy called Bab-ba, he had
bright blue eyes and golden curls, and he had a black Ayah
for his nurse. She had been with Bab-ba ever since he was
quite a tiny baby in long robes, and she was very fond of
him. Her name was Jeejee-walla, but they just called her
Ayah.

Bab-ba's Father was an English Officer in India, and they
lived in a beautiful white house on the Simla Hills, with a
big verandah running all around it. Round about the verandah
was a garden, and outside the garden the jungle stretched
for miles and miles, and in the jungle were all sorts of
beasts and birds.

Little Bab-ba used to play on the verandah with his pets,
Mioux-Mioux, the cat, and Wooff-Wooff, the dog, and they
both loved him very dearly. Mioux-Mioux never scratched him
when he accidentally pulled her tail, although she felt very
much like doing so; and Wooff-Wooff used to stand on his
hind legs and perform all sorts of funny tricks to make
Bab-ba laugh.
