"Oh yes, yes. yes. Barbie." said
George, clapping his hands. He was
always glad TO 60 to the orchard with
some one; but he was afraid to 60
alone, he was such little fellow. He
felt sure Barbie would take Just as good
care of him as mamma always did; but

went to the house without saying .

they all came around him. No doubs
they wondered what small thing it was
that stood so still and made such q

George was not much bigger than a
goose. and, yon may think, acted much
like one. Was it something good to
eat?
They quacked to each other these
questions, and then they began to nib
Bile his fingers. Georges cries grew
louder and his tears fell faster. and oh,
how far away the house seemed, and
there were no windows looking out
upon the orchard! He would run. but
he was afraid the geese would knock
him down with their wings. If hs
stood still he was afraid they would ea&

Oh, he must get home to mamma;
and giving one great. big. frightened
veil, he started and ran, expecting the
next moment to feel the strong white
wings beating him 10 the ground; but to
his great surprise the geese made no
objections to his going. and he was soon
showing his bleeding fingers to mamma
and telling the Story of his wonderful
escape. Mamma listened. and kissed
the little finger-tips and bound them up
carefully. She rocked her little boy in
her arms and sang to him. The geese
in the orchard went on quietly nibbling
the grass. They had forgotten all about
