dgs just t1pening. His favorites were

went without the fruit coming to ma,
turity.
Shortly after, he met his gardener,
who, assuring him the figs were quite
ripe. was requested to send them to
the summer house, where his master
WAS about to rest.
Picking the hgs, the gardener sent his
little boy Of seven with the basket. On
the way the little fellow stopped and,
removing the leaves, gazed upon the
tempting fruit
The attraction was too great: he ate
one. Covering the other with the
leaves. he proceeded upon his errand.
On being asked IL the gardener had
not sent two figs, the boy, after q mo;
ment's silence, answered: II ate one.'
"You ate one? How?" exclaimed the
old gentleman, angrily. "How did you
come to do that?"
