In one Of the beautiful cities OF Italy
lives an old hermit. Near his nome
there was a great oak. 1t sheltered
him from the sun in the summer and
protected him in the winter. The
branches were music to the hermit.
ne called the tree a friend He had
a friend who was Mary, the
daughter of vinedresser. Mary
was kind to the old man. She
brought him fresh fruit from her
fathers vineyard. Once there was a
great storm The tree seemed to
beckon him to come up on its
branches.
The tree was destroyed and soon he
had eaten all his food. He grew weak
with hunger. Thoughtful many
brought him some food and took him
home. BY and by the hermit died and
the oak was cut down. Lovely Mary
was married and was the mother of
two boys One day when Raphael, the
artist was passing he saw the mother
and her two boys. He had nothing to
paint it on but the top of barrel and
that is why the Madonna of the chair
is round
