it. Every morning he placed the
bottles in tub of ice and salt
so that the would be cold enough

the other boys were playing ball
or going to the swimming pool
Billy stayed right there and sold
( his cold drinks.
One morning 1T rained and, OF
course, Billy could not sell very
much. But as soon as the sun
came out he ran out to cry his
wares and reap the nicksls as
they fell upon his stand.
Then along came Edward De-
fancy, who lived in a house on
the hill above the Blake home.

Billy, hoping that Edward would
stop. He did.
"What'll you have?" asked Billy,
beaming goodwill upon the older
boy.
"Give me a strawberry soda"
replied Edward, and Billy dived
into the bottom of the tub to get
one that was ice-cold.
Edward drained the bottle and
placed it back on the stand.
Billy waited for the money: but
instead OF. paying for the drink
the larger boy gave a hateful
laugh and ran off down the
street.
