cause he had company, Ruth remem-
bered that she had 10 hand in a map
the first thing the next morning.
What kind OF map?" asked Peter.
"a product map Of South America"
said Ruth. "And Miss Andrews asked
US to have a particularly good one
She said she would give a dollar to
the one that had the best map. And
l forgot all about It"
How do you make product map?
Peter wanted to know.

put the products on the map where
they grow. Mamma was going to
save me some little bottles to pat the
products in, but guess she forgot.
believe I'll draw the map any way"
So Peter got Ruth big sheet OF
drawing paper and ruler and they
hunted up an old geography and while
Ruth drew the map Peter tried to
think of some way for Ruth to earn
that dollar.

Ruth showed him map with pic
