"I read a story once called, 'The Adventure of the Happy Heart.'" "What a pretty title, Nora--tell us about it." "The Happy Heart stood for anyone who tried to make someone, who was lonely, glad, every day or whenever the opportunity arose, on the road of life, as they adventured along its path." "What a lovely idea!" Janey cried. "Where did you find the story?" "In our Sunday school library; it all ended with the heart that started out to bring gladness into other lives along the way; because every happy heart in turn, made another happy, and the one who started it, was full to overflowing with joy, all of her days!" "Let's try and find someone today on our adventure." "There's no time like the present," Don stepped back, and pointed mysteriously through an opening in the trees ahead, that revealed at the end of a winding footpath, a real log--cabin! "Oh," gasped Janey, turning to catch Beth and Alice's hands--"maybe it's a gypsy hut!" "Don't be a goose-girl," laughed Don, "whoever heard of a gypsy settling down in one place; they are a wandering tribe." "We'll be the scouts and go ahead and bring back a report." |
