Alice and Her Lamb.

You have all heard the story OF Mary
and the little lamb. which followed her
to school one day. so will tell you
about another little girl and another little
lamb.
The name of this little girl was Alice,
and she called her lamb Wooley, because
when 1t was born 1t looked like a
tangled ball of wool.
The mother sheep died when Wooley
was quito little, and little baby lamb
had to have bottle, Just like other
babies, so Alice fed him, and the lamb
loved Alice better than any one else.
Alice was very kind to Wooley and loved
him very much.
One day, after Wooley had grown to
be a big lamb. he and Alice went down to
the edge OF the daisy field. quite into the
meadow. which was very muddy, and
Alice, not knowing how muddy 1t really
was, kept on running after Wooley, who
