HOW EVERETT AND
JUNE MADE FRIENDS
WITH THE ELVES

once upon time mere was a llt-
tie girl and her brother. living to-
gether. The little boy whose name
was Everett, worked at farmer
Browns, who was their neighbor.
The little girl whose name was
June. stayed at home and did up
the house work.
Everett did not work very much.
They were rich and did not have to
work unless they pleased.
One day June thought that she
would take walk. She told Ever
EFT to stay at home and keep house.
Everett did as he was told, and
June started out early in the morn
ing about s o'clock.
She walked along till she came
to little house, she went in but
there was nobody at home. She
laid down on a couch and after
awhile she fell asleep.
The owners of this house were
two little elves. Their names were
Robert and Ralph; pretty soon
Ralph came in to get their dinner.
he began to get dinner in a few
minutes dinner was ready. He call
ed Robert, he came in and they
ate dinner. After dinner they
washed up the dishes, Robert wash
ed them and Ralph wiped them,
soon the dishes we've washed and
wiped.
They went in the room where
June was. to rest awhile: Ralph
went in the door first. he saw June
nd fnlI Dbl oh
ert said Lets kill her." Ralph
said: mo. we will not kill her,
she is too pretty to KILL let's wake
her and tell her she has to get us
twelve diamonds and bring them
here before tomorrow night. or We
will kill her"
So they went in and awakened
her and said: What is your
name?" June. said. frightened, "My
name is June" Very we'll said the
elves, but why did you come in our
house? Il came-camc in and
IL didn't see anyone. so l lay
down to rest awhile. I had been
walking for good bit" said June.
well, said Robert, you have TO
bring us twelve diamonds by to-
morrow night or we will kill you"
Alright, said June, and she started
off for home.
When she got home she told
Everett all about it, He said: "How
can we ever get twelve diamonds,
we haven't enough money"
"FH ask farmer Brown about it,
said June. So she trotted off over
to farmer Browns.
Farmer Brown said he thought
that there was a fairy that lived
nearby, but he did not know just
where. And he said he thought
that she could give her a little ad-
vice.
June went back home and told
Everett. he said that she had bet
ter go hunt for her So the next
morning June started out at
o'clock in the morning. She came
to a little house and knocked at
the door, some one came to the
door and said: who is here?"
'It is me" said June. She look
ed and there was an old man, SO
she ran on farther till she came to
a big tree and out jumped a fairy.
JuuC Suiu. ~ you 'hhOW WAOIC
can get twelve diamonds?" The
Fairy said: What do you want
them for? June told her about
what had happened and the fairy
said, "Well there is a birds nest
up on that hill and there are
twelve diamonds in it but you will
have to get the diamonds when
this bird is off the nest" June
thanked the fairy and went up on
the hill and as it happened the
bird was off and was no where to
be seen.
So she crept up and got the
twelve diamonds and ran home
as fast as she could, she was so
happy she could hardly wait to tell
Everett.
When she got home she went
to show Everett the diamonds but
there was only eleven SO she went
back to hunt the other one, she had
dropped by the side of the tree
that the fairy came out of.
When she got there she found it
and went home again, but she did
