The Tiny Folk

(A real story or real children (or very young children)

One of David Dale's most prized possessioins is the new automobile he got from Santa Claus last Christmas. It is large enough for him to sit in quite comfortably. and there is a place at the back where someone else may stand. A little rail trom the seat to the back makes it safe inr riding there. Its bright ii-d paint and shiny nickel trirri makes it very pretty. David sits in it, puts his feet on the pedals and away he goes. With its black rubber tlI'('S, steering wheel and horn, it looks just like a real car. David has even keys for it, in. a iezil key case exactly like his ll;iridy's.

This fine lllI)lTtlIlR there has been I bit of a disiigreenieiit among the Children. As a result Susziii was playing house with Ginny. while David and Lnuiie played by themselxos

WHY MOTHER LICKED HER LIPS

Little is obtained by crying. But ii lot is gained by trying. 1 -Old Mother Natuieu

Hiding in the grass beside a lit-pl tie path leading down ii steep bankt at the edge of the Old Pasture.i Runty Chuck had watched Motherl Chui-k cnming up the little path.; Twice she had stopped and looked; back. Birth times she had licked! her lips as it she still tasted some-I thing very good. The grass was. quite lnng. It overhung that iiar-p rnw little path. Runty could see only a very little way down thati little path. Mother didn't notii-e him as she passed on her way upl the path. Runty waited until het was sure she couldn't see him.l i.'eii slipped out into that little

putii and stole a little iarther down l.h.lI'l he had gone the day before. The path made a turn. When Runty reac :1 this turn and went around it, it: found he could look cleiir tn the bottom of that steep' bank. What he saw made him open hLs eyes very wide. At the same time it made him catch his breath. I BUSDCFL that had you or I bee in his plzice, we would have rubbet. our eyes. What he was looking at, was a house: and even as he look- ed the ninst stiirtliiig thing hap- pviieil. A donr opened and ii great

ways and the wheels turn. Then turn the steering wheel to this side, and the wheels turn the oth- er direction."

But at that instant the wheel turnerl triu far and slipped off the board. The little red car came slipping down. landing on the brick with a bang.

Laurie raised his hands swiftly tn keep it from coming down on his head.

”Hclp, David, help? Lift the car off me. Quick. I'll be crushed.” cried Laurie. halt scared. 0! course, the car was very light so David pushed it easily to one side and Laurie crawled nut.

””I'h:it wasn't a very good idr-a4" said Mrs Dale who happened to crime iii the door just then. "You might have got quite a bump on your head, Laurie. You had bet- ter stay on the side of the car after this. not underneath."

”I cc-rtninly will," agreed Lati- rie. ”I (innit like that stunt at all. I didn't think it would slip. Come. David. get in your car, and Ill get on my trike, We'll go driv- ing, and pretend we are going to Summerside. Come on."

Davirl riizhted his car. and jump- Ni in. With a heap of his hnrn he was nif Laurie beeped the horn on his trike and away they went, singing at the trip at their voices. "We're all to Summerside. Welre nit in Siimmcrside. Here we in.

Cives you a nice little lift. Helps timc pass pleasantly.

giantess stepped out. That is, me was a giantess to the wee chuck. Actually. she was one of the dear- est. old ladies in the world. Every- body called her Aunt. Sally.

Runty crawled in under the grass at one side 0! the little path. He was almost airaid to breathe. Aunt Sally began to call in the sweetest voioe. but because it was web A strange sound it frightened Runty even more if that were possible. "Chuckie, Chuckie, chuckle," called Aunt Sally. She waited a. few min- utes. then called again. She did this a third time.

Then Runty neard a rustling, and who should brush through the grasses that overhung the little path, but Mother Chuck! She was running down that little path inl answer to that call. Peeping from under the grass Runty saw Aunt Sally stoop down and hold out something white. Mother Chuckl went straight to that outstretched hand, and in her mouth took what- ever it was Aunty Sally was hold- ing out. Then Mother Chuck sat up very straight holding a slice ot bread in her two hands. just as you have seen Happy Jack Squirrel sit up and hold something he isi
