Master Elmer was permitted to roam about
at his own sweet will. A number of per-
sons who had taken fancy to the bright
little fellow invited him to take trip with
them across the creek for the purpose of
drinking the waters which flow from the
hillside.
Are they all the same kind?" asked
Elmer.
Yes" was the answer.
And do they all flow down the hill into
this creek?"
YES" replied the gentlemen.
'Well," said the boy, whats the use Of
climbing that hill to get the water from
four springs when l can stand here and
drink the whole four from this stream"
Guess the little philosopher is right, u
said one of the gentlemen. How many
miles of weary walking might we have
saved bad We thought Of this before?"
