It was beautiful day and Ethel with the
thought just the day for her to make it all
the beautiful. She did all her work and
pie of errands after which she went to the woods in
search Of some flowers. But there many things
along the roadside which seemed to her interesting
than picking flowers There were some boys catching
gophers and she laughed with delight as the heads q
the gophe popped up only to disappear when the boys
made an attempt to capture them. She walked along
slowly until finally reached the woods after
had picked flowers to her heart content she started
home She hardly out of the woods when she took
glance at the flowers and threw them the
roadside. Nature the actions of the girl and how the
flowers which had watched and refreshed had been
abused. She grew very angry and determined to wait
for the day when she could best repay this girl for her
rash deed - ..~5e- Anna Locher,
