The Tiny Folk

(A real story or real chtldnn for very young children) I

The Page family were spending Sunday with Laurie‘: Uncle Art and Aunt Mary on their farm in the country. Laurie was quite eager to find out all about the farm. but in was still afraid of the animals.

Uncle Art was getting on his overalls when Laurie piped up. ‘Where are you going. Uncle Art?"

“I'm going to let the horses out to water." said Uncle Art. "Do you want to come?"

“No, I guess not." replied ' "Ellen, Alan. and Peggy always star up here away from the barnyard whcn the horses are out. so I pztics I will too."

“Come with .e. Latiric. and I'll take you clown ' said his fa- ther. “\'l‘hcn I was a little boy and lived here we used to have three horses. I helped to look after them."

Mr. Pane. Uncle Art and Laurie went down to the barn. btit Laurie did not want to go too near to the horses. He watched Uncle Art iintie them. and listened to the lI‘illll[l. lhiiiiip. (‘Itlnl|l thcir fcct made, as they trampcd heavily out of the barn

”lIa\'e you a wagon?" Eauric asked. turning to his uncle. “In my: story book I.l1l:l‘C is a picture of a *\"i;on"

“Come to the shed." said his uncle and away they went.

Laurie was fascinated \\'lLI'l the wagon with its black leather sent. its little step on each side. and its shiny black wheels. Uncle Art lifted him up. and let him sit on the scat.

“What is that for?" Laurie ask- ed. pointiiirz to the dashboard at the front of the wagon.

"That keep the mud from fly- ing on you from the horses feet," explained U clc Art.

"Where 5 the horse got‘ was Laurie's next question.

“We hitch him to the wagon ’:)0i\\'l>(’Yi these two wooden poles callcd shafts." said Uncle Art.

"This isn't the kind of wagon the man uses to haul our coal."

DOWN THE LINE

With growing children worries

't‘I\\ .

All parents always find it so. —0ld

It is true. Mothers and fathers. especially mothers, worry over helpless babies. But those worries are nothing to the worries that are theirs when the children get big enough to run about, or fly about, as the case may be.

Rattles the Kingfisher and Mrs Rattles had an unusually big fam.- ily this season. They had eight children. Worries had begun with the laying of the first egg. They had increased when the eggs natclied. Growing babies must have plenty of food, and eight babies itept father and mother busy every waking iiionieiit, for the kingfisher Iolk live mostly on fish, and fish have to be caught. So. all the time mother and father were out fishing. they \\'0l‘l‘l€d lest some- thing happened to the babies at home.

replied Rattles.

Now those babies were not truly babies any longer. They were big enough and old enough to be start- ing out ill the Great World to find places for themselves. and the)’

‘Yea I know." answered Uncle Art. “It depends what you are do- ing. Sometimes we use the cart. or the truck wagon. This wagon is just for driving. but we useiil very very seldom. for everyone mostly uses their car.

‘‘I think I'd like a ride in this wagon," said Laurie.

“Perhaps some day when you visit me again. I‘ll hitch tip King and take you for a drive." prom» ised Uncle Art.

Laurie's eyes danced with plea- sure at the thought. Then he torc away to the house to tell his mo- thcr all about the wonderful wagon and the. ride he would get some
