ORIGINALITY
A certain little girl was discovered by her mother engaged in a spirited encounter with a small friend who had got considerably worsted in the engagement.
"Don't you know, dear," said the mother, "that it is very wicked to behave so? It was Satan that put it into your head to pull Elsie's hair."
"Well, perhaps it was," the child admitted, "but kicking her shins was entirely my own idea."
OSTRICH
The ostrich is a foolish bird,
With scarcely any mind,
He often runs away so fast,
