In connection with the study of
good pictures in art the following
story was written:
The Pastry Eaters
The Pastry Eaters was painted
by a Spanish artist named Muril-
10. The boys are very poor. Their
clothes are ragged. Their faces
are dark because they live out in
the sunshine all day. They live
in Sunny Spain.
These children have been sell
ing fruit to earn a few pennies to
buy pastry. These boys sat down
along the roadside to eat pastry
Pastry is made from flour and
water. The dog is watching the
boys. One boy holds the pastry
above his head. Soon the dog will
. ask for his dinner.-Juanita Bis
