Yes, dear" came the answer In
what sounded like mothers voice,
you may stay one hour"
Away Scampered the little boys,
racing to see which could beat to
Georges home.
Harold came home promptly at
the end Of the hour. He ran into
the room where mother sat, his
eyes shining like stars.
"Oh, mother" he said, we're Just
had the most fun, George and +!
We played"
There was something in mothers
face that made him stop. Some
how her smile was not SO bright as
usual. Where have you been,
son ?" she asked.
Harold looked surprised.
Why, over to Georges, mother"
he answered.
Mother drew her little boy to her
knee. "You should not 60 away
dear. without telling mother" she
said gravely.
Harold's eyes were bigger than
ever with surprise.
why mother, I did ask you and
you said I could go!"
How can that be-" began
mother. but just then a voice came
from the back porch. and this Is
what 1t said; Eyes, dear. you may
stay an hour"
They both laughed and some
body else laughed too.
"Ha! ha! ha! That was a good
joke!" cried Polly Parrot.
Polly is getting altogether too
smart" said mother, as she kissed
Harold. Then she added:
THE next time my little boy
wants to go away to play he must
be sure 1t is mother who answers"
