BOYS IN CHINA
ALWAYS FLY KITES IN
THE SPRING. OUR
KITES ARE ALWAYS
PICTURES OF ANIMALS,
PEOPLE OR FLOWERS.
THEY ARE VERY
PRETTY. MY MOTHER
GAVE ME A FEW
COPPERS THIS MORNING
TO BUY THIS ONE. WE
DO NOT USE TAILS ON
OUR KITES.

THIS IS A SHUTTLE
COCK. IT IS A COIN WITH
BRIGHT FEATHERS FASTENED
TO IT. I THROW IT UP IN
THE AIR AND THEN KEEP IT
FROM FALLING TO THE
GROUND BY CATCHING IT AS
IT COMES DOWN ON MY FOOT,
AND KICKING IT UP AGAIN.
SOMETIMES I CAN KICK IT
UP OVER A HUNDRED TIMES
WITHOUT LOSING MY BALANCE.

I AM A BOY SCOUT. THE MAYOR OF PEIPING IS TRYING TO MAKE THE CITY VERY CLEAN AND ORDERLY. EVERY EVENING AFTER FOUR O'CLOCK, MANY OF US BOY SCOUTS ARE STATIONED WITH THE POLICEMEN TO SEE THAT PEOPLE WALK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STREET, AND THAT THEY KEEP THE STREETS CLEAN.

I KNOW YOU
FOLKS DO NOT KNOW
HOW TO USE THESE
CHOP STICKS. I
THINK THEY ARE
EASY TO USE. I
NEVER COULD LEARN
TO USE ALL YOUR
FORKS AND KNIVES
AND SPOONS.

THESE TWO CHOP
STICKS ARE ALL I
NEED. YOU SEE I
USE THEM BOTH IN
ONE HAND, TAKING
UP THE FOOD
BETWEEN THEM. THIS
IS A MEAT DUMPLING
THAT I LIKE VERY
MUCH. I AM SURE
I CAN EAT ALL ON
THAT PLATE.
