DON'T you like getting presents? I do. Birthdays and Christmas are always enjoyable times. We love receiving surprise presents. I remember visiting a house in the country once, and a little boy and girl of the house came into my room when my luggage was being unpacked, and eyed everything being taken out of my bag and boxes with the greatest interest. At last they could keep silent no longer.
"And what have you brought us?" they asked.
I was filled with confusion, for I had brought them nothing. I had not known of their existence. Their expectations were disappointed.
Another little boy of my acquaintance came to lunch with me one day. His mother was with him, and I think had talked to him beforehand about being on his best behaviour. I had got a toy for him to amuse himself with, and he had a very good time after lunch playing with it.
When he was going away, I told him he could take it with him. "I'll make you a present of it," I said.
