Then she went and fetched the great big chatty that the dhobi used to boil the clothes in. "You naughty girl," she said, "you have broken the chatty yourself, I have a good mind to beat you." And if she had not been in such a hurry for the water she _would_ have beaten her. But the broken chatty round his neck caught his paws, so he could not overtake her.īut when she got back to Black Noggy, and told her how the Mugger had broken the chatty, Black Noggy was fearfully angry. She turned and ran away as fast as ever she could, and the Mugger ran after her. So Little Black Mingo took the chatty and ran down to the river as fast as she could, and began to fill it with water, when Cr-r-rrrack!!! Bang!!! a horrible big Mugger poked its nose up through the bottom of the chatty and said "Ha ha! Little Mingo, I'm going to eat you up!"
One day Black Noggy called her, and said, "Take this chatty down to the river and fill it with water, and come back as fast as you can, _quick now_!" She had no father and mother, so she had to live with a horrid cross old woman called Black Noggy, who used to scold her every day, and sometimes beat her with a stick, even though she had done nothing naughty. Once upon a time there was a little black girl, and her name was Little Black Mingo.
