WHAT HE THOUGHT
A little boy played with a box of dead matches, saying, as he tested each match by rubbing it on the match box, "That's no good! That's no good!" to each one. To his surprise, one live one, accidentally there, ignited. Carefully blowing it out, he returned It to a safe corner of the match box, saying: "That's a goody—l'll keep that!" —From Joyce Ramsden, Grey Lynn (15).
