"O Peter, what did you do to help?" asked Polly. "You spilled the milk and then you spilled the flour. That isn't helping much."
"I did help," said Peter. "I helped all the morning. I worked very hard."
"I am sure that you meant to, Peter," said mother. "But tell me what you did."
"Why," said Peter, "why, I carried away the pail of sugar."
Polly laughed, but mother said, "That was kind, Peter. And you know that you always help by being a good boy. So I really think that you are right."

"Let's make a snow man this morning. Will you, Peter? The snow is just right for big balls."
"Then we will," said Peter. "But let's get Tim to help us."
