THE END.


Jane is seated on the ground. She is in tears. Her friend Skip has left
her. Her cake has gone too. Did Skip snatch it away from her?

Yes, he did, without giving her a chance to take a second bite. And he
pushed her down besides. And he ran away and left her. Poor little girl!
Ungrateful little dog!

JANE OLIVER.

THE BROKEN KITE.


It was a splendid great kite, almost as tall as George himself. It was a
birthday-gift from his grandfather.

George had never owned a kite before; and there never was a happier boy
than he when he went out to fly it for the first time.
