Fairy Tale
THE DINNER
~MARY GRAHAM BOWER

George Green Frog was dining with
the Sbons who lived at Gums Landing
and If you spell those words around
you will see what they really mean
George had been putting on airs Of
late and had thought his home pond
was not good enough for him and SO
the Pond Fairy had taken him to see
these creatures.
He was very happy when first he ar
rived for he thought that here he
would be appreciated. In the pond
they hadn't noticed him any more than
the others. And almost as soon as he
had arrived he was asked to a dinner.
George was right on time at the party
and soon after he had arrived the din
ner began Everyone was talking.
did you know that once we went to
a dinner where they served the soup in
cups which weren't cups at all?" asked
one Of George.
Horrors, goog-a-room, no." said
George, who was already beginning to
feel out Of place now and very home
sick.
"Of course they did not know what
was what" said another who had over
heard.
But as the dinner went along the
people, to Georges mind, seemed to
grow shorter and shorter and smaller
and smaller and even their voices
seemed to die away. Then one little
person spoke up and said: at was
what I said all along. We shouldn't

ALSO it has been rumored about that

But now their voices had almost
sunk away to nothingness. and instead
George heard some one singing in
loud voice. This was the song:

Suddenly, George saw the Pond
Fairy coming toward him. She was
smiling and she looked more beautiful
than she did before
$50 you sang my song, eh?" she
asked.
Then 1t was that George realized
that the song had come from his own
throat and that he had been sing
ing It.
"Such curious people," he said on his
way back with the Pond Fairy. "They
made most awfully rude remarks about
me-about having been nothing but a
tadpole in my earlier days and such
speeches, but do you know l really
didn't mindT
"Now the Pond Fairy said.
II didn't mind in the least" said
George Green Frog. "They didn't
seem to be worth my notice-not be

cause thought how foolish it was to
be as they are and as was only so

Dear me, dear me, I'm glad you left

do they seem very happy themselves"
They're not" said the Pond Fairy
''They never dare be natural and they
really are miserable with the dispos,-
tiOns they have! But now we're almost
home again!"
And George Green Frog bllnked and
gurgled and chuckled and said:
