Charles Dickens. the creator OF
many delightful child characters.
earned q million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen, but often walked
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 a small boy who
asked him for a penny. Dickens
searched his pockets. but they were
empty. and so he told the boy, who
was shivering in the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow, well 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 a Jolly
ring in his voice.
"Now," he said. wen have two hot
buns apiece!"
Such a generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
so forcibly that he took the Lad home
with him, and there he was fed and
clothed. and started on the road to {
better life.
