sUNFOLWER's BIG BROWN
EYE.

There once lived in Greece little
girl by the name Of Hetty The little
girl lived with her mother in small
cottage surrounded by q beauelful gar
den. She would help her mother clean
the house every day, and would then
go out into the garden and look at
the sun and birds.
One day, as the sun was hidden by
a large cloud, little Hetty caught
glimpse OF Apollo In his sun chariot. !.
1t was believed by the people, OF
Greece that the chariot was SO daz-
zing that no one could look at IT.
Every day after that little Hetty
would go out into the garden to get
q glimpse OF Apollo once more: Her
mother would call: "Hetty! Hetty! Come
In and finish your work" But Hetiy
would not mind her. This made Apollo
angry, and he said children ought to
mind their mothers, So one day a
burning hot arrow fell on Hetty's head.
There was Immediately change In
her visage. Her little toes turned TO
roots that went searching IN the
ground everywhere for food; her legs
turned to slender green stalks; her
body to large green leaves; her eyes
grew larger, and her golden hair TO
yellow petals.
there CAME no answer, and on going
out into the garden she found instead
Of her Child large suntlower.
Now Hetty Is always looking at the
sun--ln the morning toward the east
in the evening toward the west.
