There was a poor little boy iv> the neighbourhood, and after I had been to Sunday School one day and listened to a stirring talk on the beauties of charity, I was ( soft enough to give them to him. Then I wanted them back and cried, but my mother said : " 'Don't cry, Bertie; some day you will get your wooden soldiers back."
