The Story of Little Black Sambo By Helen Bannerman
PREFACE.
There is very little to say about the story of LITTLE BLACK SAMBO.

children abound and tigers are everyday affairs, who had two little girls.

Red Coat." So the Tiger said, "Very well, I won't eat you this time, but
you must give me your beautiful little Red Coat." So the Tiger got poor
Little Black Sambo's beautiful little Red Coat, and went away saying,
"Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle."
And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger,
and it
