my surprise to find the
dishes washed and put in
place. "Oh, I wish that the
Ada high school would win
the first prize in The Jour-
nal Junior contest" said I
one day while writing my es-
say, and this wish also came
true a few days later. The
next time I wished it was
for a very retentive memory,
in order to remember my La
tin forms, my geometry les
son and a few other simple
things like those. For a
wonder the next day I was
perfect in all my recitations.
BY that time I was perfectly
sure that whatever T wished
for would come true; but
alas! how soon I found my
mistake.
