The Tiny Folk

(A renl story of renl children for very young children)

All night long the big flakes 0! si.-ow had fallen. Biz. fluffy, lnzy flakes they were. and they kept heaping up on the branches of the trees, on bhe tops of the fence pests, and on the top at arasnm house ncrom the way.

Laurie woke up. crawled to the foot of his bad, and looked out. ”Come. Mommy. come!" he called. "Just see the lovely snow. Doesn't it look beautiful? I can see all the snow on Susan's roof from here, I must hurry Ind get. dross- ed."

Soon he wu'do'wnat.nirs. "Give me my cod liver oil and tomato juice." he called to his mother. in he not in at the table. "13 my por- ridge cool? I want to be Ibie to pll.V hard today."

"Just take your time laughed Mrs. Pnge. "Three year old boys rrcd to take time to eat. or their food won't be any good to Imam." "All right, I'll oat slowly. but pleas!-. Mommy. dont let Frisky nut. He'll make tracks and opcil the beautiful snow."

”W'hnt a bov mu are!" cold his molhvr. ”but Frisky can wait for you"

It wasn't too long before Laurln wus out. Frisky raced here and there. with Laurie runnimz after him. both of them trying to be everywhere at once,

Just thcn Susan and her two year old brother David arrived I.- long.

"Let's make roads in the snow" said Laurie. "I'll be the mow Plow bncause there is A box on my sleigh."

Soon the orchard was like a bl! hltrhway with littlo roads hare and there. David trottcd along be- hind Susm. falling every now and then. but still hwing fun.

.As' for Frisky. he went off bv iumsrif. Tlhat snowplow ofLnurie'5 spoilt-d all his little dog roads.

"Isn't this great fun?" Susan said as aha pushed her sleigh 3. round a sharp turn in the road. ”Et-on hr-op. Laurie. move your snow plow to let my car past."

"I'm all done plowing the rogdii now,” said Laurie. "Let's just. hnul wood on our roads. see how nice and smooth they are."

And for the rest of that morn- ing the roads in the Pngn Orohnrd were very. very busy hlghwgyg in. dead.
