THE MOST DIsrAsTEFUL TASK. WHY?
The most distasteful task which I
ever did was picking gooseberries or
carrants. ] never had much Of this
to do however, as I hated it 80 bad
y. ! cannot bare worms OF bugs of
any kind and they are numerous
enough around these bushes. Iwell
remember one time whom l was
visiting my cousin. Ny aunt had
some currant and gooseberry bushes
and, alas for me, it was about time
to pick the berries. SO we children
took our pals and went out to our
task. In . short time came to the
house and began gathering up the
dinner dishes,so that 1 wouldn't have
to do the work Of picking that l dis.
liked so Ench. II.
Of coursesI took quite while to
clear the table so as not to "work
myself out of q job" az it is termed,
without picking berries. After l
had the dishes gathered up my aunt,
wanted me to 20 down town ami
was glad Of il. Picking berries may
seem very funny kind Of distaste-
full task to some who are not afraid
Of such things as bugs and worms;
butit was, is and always will be a
very distasteful one to me. I didn',
have to pick berries again that day
and I was very glad; I shouldn't,
p wonder if, my aunt was glad too
!, forslookingH for worms instead Of
berries isn't3a very printable bust
, mess. ojs MARY MoBERLY.
9TH Grade e
= Most distasteful task! There ar,
50 many I don't know what to say
!, but l will put on my thinking cap
: Oh, / have it! it is helping wash tn
!, clothes. We have just gotten a new
machine that turns with a lsrg'
wheel. When it was. first brough
7 home, mamma said it was 80 easy t,
/ turn thatsI would have always t,
]. turn the machine when we washed.
{. I thought what fun that would be
: but / wap sedly' mistaken, for
! found it did not turn 30 easily will
? clothes in az it did without. Yet
: always have to turn the wheel. Mex
I invented "a scheme to read and turf
the wheel At the same time; I dit
that one Monday; but mamma said
J one thing at a time, my DEAR" so
; had to let the book be hidden
From that time until now I have al
!, ways hated to turn the wheel. !.
And again, I always have to hell
put the washing on the line, and tina
: isn't much fun, especially when 9
: friend calls you t'washer. woman.
So I think my most distastefu
task is washing clothes. ~
