Dear ChiIdren: This seems like
my week for ''moralizing," but l am
so interested in your future welfare
that sometimes [ know [ must get
"preachy."
What l started to write about is
this-watch the squirrel he gathers
his store of food for hard days and
carefully puts it away. The rat is
so different, he destroys continually,
he is everlastingly scrambling for
4 food.
You will probably say "but, Aunt
Julia, he gets enough to eat"-true
enough, but he has not the pleasure
in his fare that the careful squirrel,
for he has no leisure days, no surety
of prcvender for the rainy day. I'd
like to think that this band of cou-
sins belonged to the Squirrels for
then I'd be sure that they would look
to their future welfare instead of
squandering their time.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
