"What are you laughing at?", he asked, but the boys only laughed the harder at his confusion. At last one little boy named Frankie Jones cried out "Tommy, it's your face."
Tommy rushed to a looking-glass, and found on his forehead and on each cheek an enormous dab of red paint.
"Halloo, Green?" shouted one of the boys, "You're red now, ain't you?"
Tommy was greatly teased for a while, but kept his temper, and it was not very long before he was joining with his school-mates to tease some other small boy in a similar manner.
Such things are provoking, but it is best to treat them good-naturedly, as Tommy did, and not lose one's temper.
FOND OF CATS.
