 Little Tommy Tuckers Story Inside the Card:

       "Little Tommy Tucker was a boy who loved to sing. In fact, he'd rather sing all day than almost anything! He sang when he was happy and he sang when he was blue-- he sang when he sass all alone and when he wasn't too. Then one day Tommy chanced to see a little bakery shop, and seeing such good things to eat, he couldn't help but stop. Of course he was too poor to buy a single thing, he knew, and just to stop and look a while was all he meant to do. But then, because he always sang no matter what, you know--he sort of sang a little way before he turned to go. And Tommy sang so sweetly that the baker clapped with joy, and said, "Let me repay you! Here just help yourself, my boy!" So Tommy ate a cooky, then some pie and then some cake, and lots of other good things that the baker said to take. Then Tommy told the baker he was grateful as could be, and then the baker said, "Come bake again and sing for me!" So Tommy never worried about suppers any more 'cause all he had to do was sing just like he did before! And, though the story doesn't say, it's pretty safe to bet--that anywhere that Tommy is he's probably singing yet!"
