Not last night but the night before,
twenty-four robbers came a-knocking at my door.
I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said: H.O.T. hot peppers. I gave them my peppers and they rode away, but twenty-four robbers came back the next day. I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said: H.O.T. hot peppers! I didn't have peppers but I a had a little flour, they put it in their sack and said see you in an hour. Just this hour, not the hour before twenty-four robbers came a-knocking at my door. I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said, F.L.O.U.R. flour. I didn't have flour but a had a cob of corn. Twenty-four robbers said see you in the morn. Just this morn, not the morn before, twenty-four robbers came a-knocking at my door. I opened my door and I saw they had a pot. Twenty-four robbers said we like you a lot. You gave us your peppers, you gave us your corn, you gave us your flour so early in the morn. Now heres what they did and this is all true, they gave me a pot of hot pepper stew. H.O.T. Hot peppers!!!!!!

This is my favorite childhood book. I remember from all those years ago. I wish I still had my book. LOVE THIS STORY!!!!
