position - Rain

Dear Editor:
Below you viii md a school compo-
sition written by myself, entitled
Rain"
Clouds are formed by the sun draw
ing mist out of marshy places. On
dark days sometimes you can see the
sun drawing the mist. II goes up In
bars, looking like fog. A fog is seen
early in the morning. before the sun Is
up. 1t is merely low lying cloud.
You have all seen steam coming from
the kettle on the stove. II you hold
anything above the kettle so that the
steam strikes It there will soon be
water all over the object.
When the vapor leaves the ground
It is warm, II not hot, and as 1t gets
higher It cools and the vapor comes to-
gether and forms rain. Then It gets
heavier and comes down as rain. On
the ground 1t changes to vapor ana
goes through the same process Over
and over. Hail is just frozen rain and
It comes down in little balls.
There are good many uses OF
rain. One is to make the ground moist
and produce good crops. The rain
makes things look refreshed and cool
looking.

Repeats Mothers Story

Dear Junior:
| am going to write the story my
mamma told me one winter night a
long time ago.
Once there was little boy. His
name was Harold. Harold's mamma
was so poor that she could not often
give her little boy nickel.
But one day when Harold had help
ed all forenoon she put shining
nickel in his hand.
1t was a new nickel and very bright.
Harold looked at his nickel to see
how pretty It was. 1t did not take long
to decide what to buy with 1t. He
started to the store. He had to cross
a field to reach the village.
Harold was so happy he tossed his
nickel in the air. He thought he could
catch 1t when it came down but II
slipped through his hands and fell
through the snow.
Harold hunted for his nickel but
could not find it. In the spring after
the snow had melted Harold found his
nickel.
It was not bright any more but 1t
bought just the same and it made
Harold just as happy.
