Mother" said a little girl, as she
was getting ready for bed, tell me a
story SO her mother began.
Tn" roots and bulbs have been
asleep all winter in the earth warm
and wood wrapped up in their brown
blankets. The fairies flew over the
earth and whispered wake up, wake
up IT is time TO be moving. Don't
YOU know spring is near And there
was a rustlins and stirring in the
earth. Then little mounds and cracks
began TO appear. Then little green
sprouts began to come out OF the
earth. Soon the beautiful spring
flowers commenced to come forth. The
leaves began to spread on their
branches. the crocus bloomed close to
the earth; the lille bells showed their
green stems. and the little blue violet
grows under its green leaves: the jon
quils put on their yellow dresses. some
thing like green velvet began to come
out OF the earth. II was grass. II
looked rs if a band OF fairies had
flown over the earth shaking wands
OF different colors, and when the fairies
had disappeared, there were flowers of
every color.
Then the little girl was fast asleep.
and the mother had TO finish her story.
