told Robbie that it was because he ate
soup that he was growing so big.
The little fellow was pleased, indeed,
with the success Of his plan. There
after, he ate every bit of the soup
without grumbling, and then went up
stairs and cut on the bottoms of his
trousers and sleeves again and again.
Mother wondered and wondered that
Robbie should grow SO quickly, but
when he was to go to a party one
afternoon, and she saw that his best
clothes fitted him as well as ever, the
secret came out.
Robbie was made to wear the spoiled
suit of clothes to the party and to ap-
pear among his playmates In them for
one long month.
And although he had hoped that
soon he would have to eat no more
soup, he was still made to eat quite as
much as ever.

This didn't cause Robbie to enjoy eat
ing soup a whit more, however.
To-day Robbie felt less like eating 1t
than ever before. At last he gulped 1t
down and walked slowly from the
table. He had been so very naughty
that mother sent him to his room to
think over what he had said.
Like little thunder cloud he looked
NOT at all the bright, cheerful boy
he should have been.
"Only wish would grow, SO
wouldn't need to eat any more of that
