The recitation, "Two Little Maids" (New Recitations for Infants) would follow this Story Lesson appropriately.
LXVIII. HOW TO OFFER SWEETS, ETC.
120. How Baby Did it.
Some one had brought baby a parcel of sweets. They were rather sticky, but baby did not mind that when the colours were so pretty! There were pink, blue, red and yellow sweets, and she was greatly pleased with them. Baby was very kind and unselfish, so she wanted us all to share her sweets, and picking one out with her little chubby fingers, (which were not any too clean), she offered it to mamma. You see baby was very tiny, and had not yet learnt that sweets should always be offered in the paper or box, and not be touched by the fingers at all. But mamma explained this to her, and then baby lifted up the paper, and trotted round to everybody, holding it out, and saying, "Please, take one".
Fruit and nuts should be offered in a plate or dish. It is not nice to touch with our fingers anything that we are offering to others.
