Warren, in his eagerness to help
Mother for he really was a very
warm-hearted little boy had spilled
paint on the floor of the new porch
Of their cabin in the woods. He had
been commanded - yes, that is the
right word = to keep Teddy, the dog,
off the porch till the paint could dry.
Now it happened, just after this,
that some friends called to take War
rem, his little sister and their mother
on picnic. Mother, however, could
not go, as she was expecting COM
pany. So the children went.
Warren was fascinated with the lit
tie paper forks with which they ate
their lunch as he had never seen any
before. He begged for one to take
home to mother. He even saved his
piece of cake for her. Seeing this, his
hostess gave him piece of each kind
Of cake, and one of each variety of
sandwich. These he wrapped in paper
napkins.
When the party stopped once more
at the cabin, Warren rushed in, and
dumping the bundles in his mothers
lap, he cried, "See, mother, what
brought you'll"
In his great joy at giving mother a
present, he did not notice that he had
left the screen door ajar, and that
Teddy, eager to see his little master,
had slipped in.
His mother was sitting right by the
spot of paint, and so Teddy jumped
into it and tracked it all over the
porch. She could have said, eyes,
that's lovely, dear, Nbut now let's get
Teddy out, for just see what he's do
ing" and later, very soon perhaps,
could have said something to remind
Warren that he was not to let Teddy
on the porch.
Instead, what?
She took not the least notice of, the
lovely little present, but scolded War
rem vociferously for letting Teddy in.
In fact, she shouted, at him, "Take
that dog out of here, just as fast as
you cant"
Warren paused to say reproachful-
