WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act Of Street Walt That
Gained Him a Friend In
Great Novelist.

Charles Dickens, the creator of
many delightful child characters,
earned million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen, but often walk
ed the streets of London in search Of
material for his books without penny
In his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by small boy who
asked him for penny. Dickens search
ed his pockets, but they were empty,
and SO he told the boy. who was shiv-
ering in the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow, we'll go hunks together!''
Dickens stood back in the shadow
of the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued to beg,
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with jolly
ring in his voice.
Now" he said, "we'll have two hot
buns apiece!"
Such generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
30 forcibly that he took the lad home
with him, and there he was fed and
clothed, and started on the road to q
better life.
