The Two Ornhans
Dear Busy Bees: have been
reading your stories and | enjoy
themNery much. so | thought l
would write. Once upon a time
there were two orphans, boy and
a. girl. They lived alone in the for
est. One day Billy, the boy. went to
town and he was met by rich man,
who told him that he. would like to
adopt his sister, but BILLY said he
couldn't have her. Then Billy went
home and told his sister, Mary, and
Mary was grieved very much. She
said she would not go and live with
him. The next dady Billy went to
town again. The rich man again
asked for her and it made him an
cry when he again was refused, so
he was more determined than ever
to get her. So he was going out
and get her while he was in town.
So he got in his automobile and rode
out near the cottage. Then he went
to the cottage and told her what he
was going to do. He said he would
kill her if she didn't do as he said.
He took her to his palace. When
Billy came home he saw no Mary.
He was grieved very much Next
day he asked the rich man if he had
seen her. But he said he hadn't. He
Avon grew to manhood. but he never
thought she was dead. Mary was
a lady now. One day as she was
looking out of her window she saw
him. She called to him and She
jumped from the window into Ms
arms. Then they started to the
coast. Next day when the man saw
she had gone he was angry. but he
could do nothing.-Opal jenkins, 10,
