To be indignant is TO be angry
in a good cause. II you lose your
temper and give way to anger be
cause things do not suit you you
are not indignant; you are simply
angry. But II anger wells up IL
your heart because OF harm or in
justice which is done 10 some ONE
else, or even TO yourself, then you
become indignant.
Farmer Browns Boy had spent
all his spare time down In the gar
den watching Bob White and his
family. In fact, he had been there
so much that all the Bob Whites
had come TO look on him as harm
less, II not actually friend. They
just didn't pay him any attention at
all. but went about their business
as IL he were nowhere about. And
their business was Kidding that gar
den OF bugs and worms and seeds
OF weeds In order to I'LL their
stomachs. What tickled Farmer
Browns BOY was that the bugs and
worms. OF which they seemed the
most fond, were the very ones
which did the most harm TO the
growing plants.
Over beyond the garden was a
field OF wheat. You know II Is from
wheat that the -four from which
your bread is made comes. Now,
there is certain little bug called
the chinch bug. which is such a
hungry rascal that when he and a
lot OF his kind get into field OF
wheat they often spoil the whole
crop. They suck the juice from the
plants so that they wilt and die.
