nice gift, as you see, and not so queer as you may suppose, for it was eighty years ago that RebecCa got this yarn and enough of it to knit pair of stock ings was a fine present for those times
 Perhaps her aunt Rebecca spun the yarn on the great spinning wheel they had in those days. Now, Rebecca knew how to knit, and with this yarn she would knit a pair of stockings to sell, Sale stockings must be knit very strong, and Rebecca knit every stitch herself; even to the heels and the nar- rowing of the toes. When they were done the captain of packet, who was a friend of theirs, took them and sold them for one dollar.
 Rebecca was very proud when the captain brought back the dollar and gave it to her. Then the question arose what she should do with the dol lar Should she buy something to wear or something good to eat. or would she put it in the bank to grow? Rebecca thought it over and talked about it. One person would say do this and an- other do that.
 Her uncle finally suggested plan, which was that she should buy lamb and then she would have wool of her own, and after while a big flock of sheep. Rebecca liked this plan and bought a lamb The next year she bought another, and in a few years she had a flock of thirty sheep. They were all great pets and very fond of Rebecca. When she went to the field and called them they would come running to her. and even the little lambs would crowd around her. Was 1t not a fine birthday gift from which a flock of thirty sheep could grow?
