For , if she had , she would have tempted him to tell lies in his fright ; and that would have been worse for him , if possible , than even becoming a heathen chimney-sweep again . No . She leaves that for anxious parents and teachers -LRB- lazy ones , some call them -RRB- , who , instead of giving children a fair trial , such as they would expect and demand for themselves , force them by fright to confess their own faults -- which is so cruel and unfair that no judge on the bench dare do it to the wickedest thief or murderer , for the good British law forbids it -- ay , and even punish them to make them confess , which is so detestable a crime that it is never committed now , save by Inquisitors , and Kings of Naples , and a few other wretched people of whom the world is weary . And then they say , `` We have trained up the child in the way he should go , and when he grew up he has departed from it . Why then did Solomon say that he would not depart from it ? '' But perhaps the way of beating , and hurrying and frightening , and questioning , was not the way that the child should go ; for it is not even the way in which a colt should go if you want to break it in and make it a quiet serviceable horse . Some folks may say , `` Ah ! but the Fairy does not need to do that if she knows everything already . '' True . But , if she did not know , she would not surely behave worse than a British judge and jury ; and no more should parents and teachers either . So she just said nothing at all about the matter , not even when Tom came next day with the rest for sweet things . He was horribly afraid of coming : but he was still more afraid of staying away , lest any one should suspect him . He was dreadfully afraid , too , lest there should be no sweets -- as was to be expected , he having eaten them all -- and lest then the fairy should inquire who had taken them . But , behold ! she pulled out just as many as ever , which astonished Tom , and frightened him still more . And , when the fairy looked him full in the face , he shook from head to foot : however she gave him his share like the rest , and he thought within himself that she could not have found him out . But , when he put the sweets into his mouth , he hated the taste of them ; and they made him so sick that he had to get away as fast as he could ; and terribly sick he was , and very cross and unhappy , all the week after . Then , when next week came , he had his share again ; and again the fairy looked him full in the face ; but more sadly than she had ever looked . And he could not bear the sweets : but took them again in spite of himself . And when Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby came , he wanted to be cuddled like the rest ; but she said very seriously : `` I should like to cuddle you ; but I can not , you are so horny and prickly . ''
And Tom looked at himself : and he was all over prickles , just XXXXX a sea-egg .
