| The beautiful Little creature hand
ed her a ring and said:
will give you this ring and as
long as you wear it every wish CT
yours will come true.
/ Adalia was very much pleased
With the ring for she Thought:
When mama tells me- to do amN-
thing will wish It and It VIII be
done without me.
So she had nothing to do but
play, but one day as she saw the
birds flying around in the air she
! thoughtlessly said: 81 wish / was
/, . little bird"
She had no sooner uttered the
wish than she was changed to a
bird. and away she went flying
through the air.
But her wings soon grew TIRED
and she alighted on the branch of
a tree when bang, a boy shot at
her with his gun.
She was frightened almost to
death and flew down to the ground
hen sly cat jumped at her and
tried to catch her.
OF course the ring fell off when
she was changed to bird and she
could net be changed back to a
little girl without it.
She was wishing she was Ade-
Liza again and trying to find the
ring when she received such a
shock that she awoke and found
herself lying ON the floor where
she had fallen.
Adelia was SO glad that it was
only dream and that she was
her own self, that she never a.
gain refused to help her mother.
