TOO LITTLE.

Marion lived in the ci.y, and
had never been in the country
since he could remember. Bu,
then, he was only four years old,
30 he could not be expected to
remember many years back.
But now he was going to see
Grandma, who lived on a farm,
where there were cows, chickens,
pigs and many other things that
he knew very little about.
Marion waited eagerly for the
day to arrive when he should 90,
and when papa drove up to the
house with a handsome carriage,
and sleek black horses, he found
Marion waiting at the gate.
Mamma was ready, and they
were soon on their way. They
arrived at grandma's just before
noon. Grandma and auntie were
delighted to see them, and soon
had dinner ready. Marion was
so very hungry that he was glad
when he was placed in the high
chair at the table, and he thought
he had never eaten so good a
dinner.
After dinner, he went with
auntie to the poultry-yard.
There he saw some tiny yellow
chickens which he thought were
very pretty. Then they went
down through the fields until
they came to a little brook.
There they saw an old duck with
six little ones standing on the
bank. Marion was very much
pleased with them; auatie left
him for a moment to watch them
while she went a little further
away,
But soon Marion came running
to her, crying, "Oh, auntie, the
little ducks all slipped off the
bank into the water. Come quick
or they'll all drown"
Auntie laughed, and said.
"The little ducks won't drown.
They like the water, and it makes
them grow"
In the evening, auntie went
out to milk. Marion thought
that was great fun, and he want
ed to help her. But he felt

The boys and girls all laughed,
and the teacher looked as If she
wanted to laugh too, buCsle said,
"Chldren, you must nos laugh;
he is a little boy and has never
been to school bef5rc." "
Marion was quite for some
time, then he began to think it
was not so much fun to 90 to
school, after all, and he began To
cry.
So the teacher told the little
girl who had brought him to
take him home. He Is too little
to 60 to school, anyhow" she
said.
Marion began to wonder why
everybody thought he was ITO
little" He thought he was
quite a man now, for he actually
had a pocket in his new waist.
Then he remembered that
auntio said, THE water made
the little ducks grow" So he
slipped away when grandma and
auntie were not watching, and
ran down to the brook, pulled off
his shoes and stockings, and
stepped down into the shallow
water. Then he Waded out q
little farther. But when he saw
the water almost up to his knees,
he thought he would 60 back
where it was not quite 50 deep.
He tried % turn around. but his
feet were sticking fast in the mud
and he had to pull very hard to
get them out, and down he went
into the mud and water.
In the meantime. grandma had
missed him, and just then she
came running to the brook and
dragged him out Of the mud.
His new waist was covered with
mud, so were his hands, feet and
face. When grandma had wash
ed him and dressed him in clean
clothes, she told him how naughty
it was to run away and 60 wad-
ing in the brook.
But Marion said, grandma,
they told me was too little, and
auntie said the water made the
little ducks grow, 50 I thought I'd
just 90 and see if it wouldn't
make me grow, too. ."-Rena
