A Happy Surprise
(Lonita Seegur, Sixth Grade)

Once there was very poor girl
whose name was Betty. She lived in a
little village where there was rich
boy named Jack. The two played to-
gether.
1t was just about Christmas. Betty
was thinking about what she would
give her mother. All of sudden she
thought that the best thing she could
do was to clean the house ana do
everything her mother wanted Asa to
do.
She then started to play, but she
heard someone call "Betty! Oh Bet
tyl" She thought it was her mother
so she went into the house. Her moth.
er had not called her so she went out
again and there was Jack.
Oh, Betty" he said. "What are you
to get for Christmas2"
"Oh, nothing, mother is sick" She
looked around TO hide her tears, but
Jack said "Santa won't forget you.'
So that night Betty did all the house
work and went to bed very happy. The
next morning she stood and looked il
astonishment for there was everything
she wanted, and best of all, a present
for mother. Finally she said, "I got
two presents for mother. I knew Jacl
would tell Santa.'

In great mansion of New York
there lived woman who was very un-
happy. Her husband gave her every.
thing that money could buy for he was
very wealthy, yet she was unhappy.
One day a very close friend came to
visit her. This friend seemed very
happy, so Mrs. Randolf asked her what
made her SO happy. Her answer was
because she was always helping the
poor and giving gifts to the orphans
Mrs. Weldon, who was a widow, had
adopted four children from the or
phans' home. She was happy because
there was young life about her.
"Mrs. Weldon" said Mrs. Randolf
"do you think, if I should try to helT
the poor and work among them, that
would find happiness like yours2"
"Try and see," answered Mrs. Wei
don.
The next day Mrs. Randolf wen,
with Mrs. Weldon to see some of the
poor. That night Mrs. Randolf wa.
very tired, but new light had come
into her life.
1t was nearing Christmas. Mrs
Randolf was very happy now. She
had adopted two little girls, each sew
en- years old. One was dark complec
toned and the other light. Theil
names were Mary and Irma. She wa.
happy now because she was doina
good, helping the poor and homeless
instead of keeping everything for her
self. Mrs. Randolf kept busy getting
things for the orphans and preparin.
for their Christmas. She no longer hai
time to waste and she was happy and
ready to work for others.
After this the poor thought well Of
Mrs. Randolf and when she was sick
they were. always ready to help hel
for she had earned their love. One
year ago they all hated her because
she was stingy and selfish, but nov
she is loved because she is good anc
kind.

Frank, much surprised for there sat q

"Where are you goingy" asked
Frank.
"Where do you thinkg" questioned

"Well, I don't KNOW" answered
Frank.
By that time he and the Brownie
were over an old barn in which lived
poor boy and his mother. This had
been hard year for them, and not
having money to buy food, the woman
was about to die. When Frank and
his companion got inside the door the
boy was trying to make a fire with
some green boughs SO they would not
freeze. Frank begged to go home, and
had no sooner spoken than he found
himself there and his mother was call

After breakfast Frank took all his

A Happy Christmas
Marjorie NASSAU, Fourth Grade)

Once upon time there lived very
poor family. Their daddy was a SOL
dier and away from home. 1t was the
night before Christmas.
The children wanted to get present
for their mother, but they had no
money so they thought they would let
Mary, their Oldest sister, weave their
mother a basket and let Robert, their
big brother, make some flowers TO put
in it.
They worked until twelve o clock
before the basket was finished. They
wrapped it up in some white paper
and set it on the table for surprise,
The next morning the mother was
so surprised and so glad that big tears
came to her eyes.
She gave each of the children a red
juicy apple and cooked a nice dinner
for them.
The children were wondering where
she had gotten all the nice things to
eat. She told them she had found the
cupboard full of good things to eat
which were left there by the good peo-
pie of the town.
The children were very happy, and
the next Christmas their daddy came
home fro mthe army. They then had
home from the army. They then had
and father nice presents. This last
was much happier Christmas.
