Dora.
4. Down came Dora very fast, with her doll in her arms, and the dog at her heels. 5. 'What I want you to do,' said mother, 'is to tear up these old papers and put them into this sack. The man is coming soon to take it to the paper-mill.' 6. 'Why is it taken to the paper-mill?' asked Harry. 'To be made over again into paper. Perhaps it will come back to us some day, all clean. 7. 'Or it may be made into a newspaper, and father may bring it home in his pocket.' 'Or we may get it in copy-books at school.' 'Yes; or it may come from the shop with rice in it.' 8. 'It may never come at all,' said Dora. 'Perhaps it will go to some other house.' 'That is quite likely,' said mother, who was now cleaning the hearth. 9. They went on putting the paper into the sack for a long time, and then Harry asked: 'How was paper made before there was old paper to make it of?' |
