. Bite Bigger, ssiiEy.n

One day a gentleman saw two bows 20
ing along one oflhe streets in New York.
They were barefooted. Their clothes
were ragged and dirty. One of the bows
was perfectly happy over half-withered
bunch o. flowers which he had Just pick
ed up in the street. Il say, Billy" 5; ID he
to his companion, @wan't somebody real
good to drop these ere posies just where
l could find them-they' re SO pooty and
nice? Look sharp. Billy, mebby You'll
find something bimeby." Presently the
gentleman heard as merry voice again
saying, 40, jolly! Billy, here's most
half peach, and it amt much dirty
Cause you hain't found notIlin' you NAV
bite first" Billy was just going To take q
very little taste of it, when his companion
said, ''Bite bigger, Billy, metby well
find another fore long"
What a noble heart that boy had. IN
spite of his rags and dirt! He was
''doing good in the way we are speak
ing OF. There was nobody for him to
be kid 10 but his companion in poverty,
the poor ragged boy at his side. But he
was showing him all the kindness in his
power when J said, Bite bigger, Billy"
There was nothing greedy, nothing self
ish about that boy. His conduct shows.
how even a ragged boy can do good by
showing kindness.
"Bite bigger, mebby wen finl
another fore long" Who can help adj
miring the noble heart of that poor boy
/ would rather have that boys kind and
generous spirit than have monarch's
crown upon my head without it. "Bite
bigger, Billy" Think of these words if |
Won are ever tempted to be unkind or
selfish TO your companions.
