MORAL EDUCATION
The kindergarten teacher recited to her pupils the story of the wolf and the lamb. As she completed it she said:
"Now, children, you see that the lamb would not have been eaten by the wolf if he had been good and sensible."
One little boy raised his hand.
"Well, John," asked the teacher, "what is it?"
"If the lamb had been good and sensible," said the little boy, gravely, "we should have had him to eat, wouldn't we?"
MOSQUITOES
"You told me you hadn't any mosquitoes," said the summer boarder, reproachfully.
"I hadn't," replied Farmer Corntossel. "Them you see floatin' around come from Si Perkins's place. They ain't mine."
