The PUPPET SHOW
From Chinese Loe) Translated b.

IN all the four corners Of the Middle
Kingdom there were not two hap
pier boys than Ming and Wing.
They were both chubby children,
with bright eyes and russell checks,
and they were SO quick and light in
their movements that to watch them
together was like watching pair of
kittens frolicking. But Sing, their
elder brother, was pale and weak.
One Of his hips was above the other
and he could hardly move about at all.
During the good times Of New Year,
the father Of Sing, Ming and Wing
treated his two younger boys to a pup
pet show. He would have liked well
to have taken Sing also. but how
Late at night came home Ming and
Wing, their eyes shining like stars
and their queues all awry. They
rushed to where Sing lay, not sleeping.
''Tellss me all about It," said he.
"Oh, Sing cried Ming, there were
hundred puppets, I'm sure. and they
all had lovely faces, as white as chalk
with two bright red spots on either
SIDE"
Two bright red spots on either
SIDE" echoed Wing.
..And they all wore jeweled crowns
on their heads. and the gayest
dresses"

over and kissed her on the lips with a
loud smack.
Gertrude slowly woke and rubbed
the sleep out Of her eyes.
Then said Peter: cts been a fine
day. Don't you agree with me, my
dear?"
Come, come, you know I don't like
to have you waste your whole day in
the tavern" answered Gertrude, an
grily.
Just as you say" replied Peter,
turning to the basket which he had
brought in. "Now, If you care to, we
shall see what we have to eat"
'The fare for supper is very simple"
replied Gertrude. "Oh, bother it all!
The plates and the cellar are both
empty.
To this statement Peter only replied
by singing more gayly than ever.
As he sang the last words he raised
the cover Of the basket, saying:
"See Mother! What do you think
Of this for feast?"
Gertrude could not help giving a
little cry Of joy:
vi, uuSDauQ, WnaC nave you
brought me? Here are butter and ba-
con and flour and sausaga-and four
teen eggs! Oh, husband, they cost
great deal just now. And here are
beans and onions and-hurrah, q whole
quarter Of pound of coffee!"
Peter then turned the basket upside
down and a little mound of potatoes
rolled out upon the floor. Selling his
wife's hands, he danced madly with
her round the room.
