So Dandelion sat all day with his
face bright and happy becuae he felt
sure the morrow would certainly bring
rain and then Miss Daisy would have
time TO think about him.
The next morning the raindops were
falling fast on the meadow and Miss
Daisy's upturned face never once looked
toward her lover. She was drinking the
longed-for water and had no time to
notice poor.Dan.
The next morning after the rain every
thing was SO clean and fresh and all the
flowers were an bright and happy that
Dan again spoke to Miss Daisy of his love
"Oh, the world is so beautiful and
fresh this morning | cannot think of
ANYTHING else" replied Miss Daisy as
che fiirted the dewdrops from her white
skirt.
But Dan was not discouraged, tse still
waited and hoped for his answer. but one
morning poor Dan awnke with a head
quite white He had grown old with wait
ing and his long. white locks fu utteeed in
the breeze.
Then one dav Miss Daisy grew tired
of the bauty around her. She east her
eve toward her lover and 10 her forrow
she saw he was quite bald. Not even one
spear Of white nair was 'theze on his head
'Oh, exclaimed Miss Daisy, 'fhow

And that is the reason. so the meadow
flowers say, that the Dandelion grows
faded and old with long white locks on its
little head. Long ago its ancesto e waited
so long for MISS Daisy's answer that he
grew old and bald.
