A little boy Of five years, playing
with his sister one day, leaned too
far out of the second-stc"y window
lost his balance and fell into the yard
below. Very miraculously he escaped
being injured, and his parents and
friends were so delighted that they
gave him quite a number of pennies,
nickels and dimes.
The next day, after he recovered
from the shock of the fall, he was
counting his money, and on seeing his
little sister enter the room, exclaimed:
Gee, Gladys. look at all the money |
