all done up in the bank. where he
watches and sweeps and everything, he
got some sttskum off one OF the desks
and Whitfield out the sticks and made
the Kite and pasted the paper on Il and
set 1t up to dry for me, so that while
me and Rowdy was fast asleep and not
thinking about anyone or doing any
thing for anyone my own true daddy
was thinking about me and working for
me TO make a kite for mo, and bet my
mother; which art in heaven, was bend
ing over him and smiling all the time
he was doing it, and | hugged him
again and kissed him again, and | don't
believe il was God put that kite into
his head at all, because he il my own
true dSfdy, and he does not wait for
God to put things into his head to do
Nor me, befaXe he loves me, and he
can think OF them all by himself. The
pancakes and coffee were cold almost
when we got to them, but we did not
care, and | held the top of my Kite in
one hand while | ate and | was very
happy, then Worley came down and
she said It was the beautifullest kite she
had ever seen, and abe thanked my
daddy for making il for me, and she
asked me when gas going to fly
Ilt and | told her when school let out,
and then my own true daddy said that
maybe it would be a good plan to wait
pin 1t was Saturday and then he would
lgo out with me in the morning after
breakfast and Worley could 90 along,
and We would fly ii and have a good
time, aud then he would come home and
90 to sleep at noon and could fly
it all the rest OF the day
XXJORLEY and | thought that would
w .be fine, because that way could
have till Saturday to think about it,
and | would not have to fly It right
away and lftWays like to think about
things when | am going to do them.
and | wish all the little kteiess child
ren in the world could be out wherever
we are going to see me fly my kite, but,
OF course, they can't, and | am kinda
glad of it, because they would be, in
the way, and there hadn't anybody bet
ter get In my way when | am flying
my kite wish tomorrow was Satur-
day, but am kinda glad it amt, be-
cause ! want to think about ii a heaA
before | fly it, and the best thing about
it is that my own true daddy is going
tc be there to help me do 1t, and | would
be glad to have him along, even with
out kite, and Worley will be there,
too, and wish John wouldn't work that
day, because he does not have much
fun, and | would like him to see il.
told everyone | met on the way to
school that had a kite and all Of the
yrownupS smiled and said that was
good, and they were glad and they
hoped it wouldn't break away, and that
when they was little they had a kite
About all the kids that told said that
was nothing because anyone could have
a kite, and they would bet that it would
not fly, anyhow, and they hoped il
would break away, and there is not
much fun telling a kid anything-there
is more fun blsmming them on the bean
1t is mighty funny that they are not
good wh~ they have not been out of
heaven a long time, and that the longer
people are away from heaven the nicer
they are. asked Worley about that
and she kissed me and kept her face
shut
When me and Rowdy kneeled and |
folded our hands and paws the kite
was right by the bed and prayed TO
my mothers angel to not have God
waste any time looking after me, but
10 keep both his eyes on the kite and
see that not anything happened to it.
Amen.
