Susie heard some children teasing her and making fun of her.

8. She at once ran out to the gate, and asked the poor little girl to come
in. "What are you crying for?" Susie asked.

9. "Because they all laugh at me," she said.

10. Then Susie took the little girl into the house. She cheered her up
with kind words, and gave her a nice dress and a pair of shoes.

11. This brought real joy and gladness to the poor child, and she, too,
thought that Susie was rightly called Sunbeam.

IF I WERE A SUNBEAM.

1. "If I were a sunbeam,
I know what I'd do;
I would seek white lilies,
Roaming woodlands through.
