A FAIRY STORY
Mrs Brown asked little Billy to 1 ake some lunch out over the hill to his daddy and big brothers. They were clearing the snow from the roads. On the way Billy saw such a big snow
man, so, thinking he looked lonely and hungry standing there all alone, Billy stopped and said, “Mr Snowman, would you like some of the food I have on my sledge? ” But the snow man replied, “ Oh, no, thank you, little boy, you are very kind, but I do not eat food. I live on snow. When tho snow melts I drink it if I am thirsty; so take the food to the men 'who are working hard, then hurry off home before it gets late, so that your mother will not worry.”—Ken Roberts (aged nine), 17 Buccleugh street, North-east Valley, Dunedin.
[Thank you for your little story, Ken Roberts, it was tho third best, and quite good for a nine-year-old author. Brother Bill has published it here for honourable mention.]
