An Unsel6sh Child

BY MIRIAM KoENIG. North 4th ST.
Once upon a time there lived a woman
who had six children. All of the chill
dren were selfish except one, whose name
was Sara. Her mother was also selfish.
One day a beggar came and knocked
at the door and begged for bread and
money. The mother laughed at the for
lorn man and chased him away But
Sara was good and gave her dinner and
all the money she had to the beggar.
When her mother saw this she was very
angry and chased her away from the
house.
But Sara had many friends because
she was good, and when they saw her In
trouble they were glad to share their
hon IS with her. When her mother, sis
ters and brothers saw this, they were
sorry for what they had done and tried
10 make up for their unkindness.
