"Aave Your
Money Ready"

had been. So 1t was not altogether
his fault.
He had been taught that the more
one held on to money the more one
had and he had been taught, too, that
the less he spent the less would be
expected of him.
And he had found that this was very
true. But. of course, he knew nothing
at all of the JOY of giving and the JOY
of sharing and some OF those particu-
larly nice Joys.
There had been time when his
father had said to him when they were
taking up contribution In church for
a very worthy cause:
Now II the plate is held so It
would be very embarrassing II you
didn't give and so everyone would no
tice it. then put a little something in
the plate
But II you can keep from giving
without 1t being particularly noticed,
then you will be that much richer.
Sometimes they hold plate little
longer than is necessary before one
but usually they think you've given be-
fore and can't afford It this time and
they don't hold 1t before you long.
Have your money ready in case
you have to give. but don't give II you
can help 1t. They may think you're
giving TO other charities and can't af-
ford this, too. They often have nice
kind thoughts like that
That had been the way in which
Walter had been brought up, so one
can hardly blame Walter. Yet he was
a very selfish little boy as result and
II grew to be so that no one wanted
him around. He wanted everyone to
do everything for him. He wanted to
do nothing at all for anyone except
himself.
He was really quite angry when he
had to do anything at all for anyone
else. for so used had be become to try
Ing to get others to do everything that
1t actually annoyed him when now he
had to make any effort or give up so
much as penny.
He had no idea of what the spirit
of giving meant. No Idea at all. Now
Peter Gnome had heard of Walter and
Peter Gnome felt 1t was a pity that a
little boy who would otherwise be
nice little boy should be allowed to
grow up into miser or very mean per-
son.
So one time, late late at night,
Peter Gnome paid call on Walter.
Walter was smiling to himself for
Walter had just been thinking Of what
luck he had had In not having to
spend anything for ever and ever so
long but in getting everyone to do for
him.
And as he was smiling to himself
along came Peter Gnome.
Hello, Walter" said Peter.
Il don't know you," said Walter,
but what Is your name?"
Peter Gnome. I've come to play"
"Oh yes" said Walter, "and have
you some marbles?"

have"
