THANKSGIVING TALES
For the Profit of the Nursery Brigade.
Tale I—Prolog.
This little Boy looks as if he had On his Father’s clothes. Maybe he Has not had Anything to Eat for a Month. He is Sitting on a Stool. He is Waiting for Something. His hands are clasped over his Stomach. Can he be Waiting for his Thanksgiving Dinner? What a Queer little Boy to Wait so Patiently? If he were to Cry, he would get his Dinner Sooner, wouldn’t he?
