THE WOOD CUTTERS
BY Marjorie Mcconnell, Piru City, Cal.
Aqe IL Years-Class A

A long time ago, when people believed
in fairies, there lived dear little
woman named Gretchen, and her hus-
band Hans. Hans was a woodcutter
and had to work very hard to buy
enough food for two. One cold winter
day a. little while after Hans had gone
to work, Gretchen took out her knitting
and started to knit. She discovered
she didn't even have enough yarn to
finish Hans socks. With no money and
only half a loaf of bread In the house,
she didn't know what to do. AS she
sat thinking she thought she heard
some one singing. Gretchen arose and
went to the door.
Standing there with a child almost
as large as herself on her back, was an
old fairy. She told Gretchen she hadn
had anything to eat for days and was
so hungry. Gretchen didn't see how she
could give her anything to eat, but she
babe the woman sit down and rest
awhile. while she went to the cupboard
and brought back the half loaf of bread.
Breaking it in two pieces she gave one
of them to the fairy. She swallowed
it in one mouthful and asked for the
other piece. Gretchen said: my hus-
band has been working hard this morn
ing and this is all he has for his dinner
1 cannot give it to you"
The fairy pleaded and said:
Your husband can work and earn
more bread because he is young. l
cannot because [ am old and withered
by age, therefore 1 shall starve."
Gretchen felt sorry for her so she
gave it to the fairy.
After while Hans came home and
said he had gone from door to door
but no one would buy.
81 am so hungry, so please hurry and
get my dinner"
you have not any dinner said Gret-
chen. as she told her story.
lust then another fairy came pushing
his wheelbarrow in front of him. He
told Hans he had broken a spike and
wanted to know if Hans would Tx II.
Hans said he would gladly do so and
soon had it all done Then they de-
parted and said they would share their
last meal and be so kind they surely
deserved something. To Gretchen he
gave a ring, that when it was on her
finger and she made n wish, that wish
would come true. To Hans he gave
hundred gold spikes, and wishing them
success ever after, departed.
