ChiIdre1, 1 am going to rell you some-
thing Of man who was one of the best
friends little children ever had. Many years
ago there was a little boy born in Germany
whose name was Friedrich Froebel. His
parents We're poor; his mamma died when
he was only two years OLD, and the poor
little fellow very comely, for he had
no toys like most children, nor horses and
carts, but only a few books. He
very gentle, lovely child and although he
had few playmateS and playthingS, yet he
was a very happy child He used to stay
out among the birds and flowers and imag
ined they were all talking to him. so he
took them for his playmates and learned
from then; many beautiful things. His IA
Vorite pets We're some doves. They would
sit on his shoulders and when he would go
to look in their nest the mother bird would
not even move, but would let him look at
the baby birds
One day his father came to him and told
him he was too big to be playing all day,
and he was going to send him to school.
At first Friedrich was delighted, Dut he had
only been in school few days when he
sound studying uninte:esting books was
