What did their aunt say when they went to call on her? What did they do at their aunt’s house?
What do some of the people wear on Carnival days?
What do they carry in their pockets? What do they throw at each other?
THE LITTLE PLANT
On the edge of the forest stood a tiny plant. It was only six inches tall.
The ground around it was so cold and hard that it could not grow taller. It had stood there many years, sad and sorrowful.
“Grow and be beautiful,” said the forest sternly, but the plant did not grow.
“Do you not wish to grow?” said the blue jay. Then he began to tell the little plant how lazy and useless it was. But his words went into one ear and out of the other.
