Little Cloud had strayed away, and
finally. when too tired to travel any
longer. had dropped softly down for a
nap. The other clouds crowded around
the mother and her baby. until. to the
people below, IL looked a big black
canopy. and expressed their delight at
the safe return of the cloud child Then
they scattered. for each had its own
work TO do.
North Wind charged Little Cloud to
stay behind its mother. and not get lost
again. and his voice was so gruff that
the baby was frightened until IL felt its
mothers arm steal about it,
West Wind had an important engage
ment in Washington. and with a loving
caress he hurried away. East Wind
was overdue in Boston; but before the
gentle South Wind left he whispered:
Take your baby in your arms, friend
Big Cloud. rock him gently upon your
breast, and / will sing him 10 sleep"
Then the people down below said:
why. IL has cleared: no rain after
all. Just hear how softly the wind is
soughing in the treetops."
But only the little girl knew the facts;
She had been sitting on the doorstep ali
the time, and had seen the whole thing.

He does not dare to laugh or sneeze
But, IN fresh clothes, with Sunday
face,
Strives hard to show with what an ease
He opes his prayer-book to the place;
And does the best he can to trace
The lessons and the Gospel through,
And with his careless. childish grace,
Kneels down as other people do.
1 wonder when he bends his knees
II he forgets tomorrow's race,
That yesterday he failed 10 please
His teacher when he broke her vase
L wonder If there is no space
To peep 'twixt fingers and the pew"
When he with eyelids closed apace
kneels down as other people do.
Tis hard to think he is the tease
Who Saturday was in disgrace
For daring unripe pears to seize
And mince-meat rich with fruit and
mace
He smoothes his collar trimmed with
lace.
And stoops to tie his pretty shoe
Then with his prayer-book In it's case
kneels down as other people do
