When he had counted a hundred, he stepped over the meadow fence and came to the good woman's house.
The good woman was at home, so he went in at the door and spread the carpet on the floor, and the floor looked like the floor of a palace.
He set the cup on the table, and the table looked like the table of a king; and he hung the chain around the good woman's neck, and she was more beautiful than a queen.
And this is the way that young Giant Energy learned to be a helper in the world.
THE SEARCH FOR A GOOD CHILD
MOTTO FOR THE MOTHER
Teach your child that every one
Loves him when he's good and true,
But that though so dear to others,
He is doubly dear to you.
