"WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY."
A TRUE STORY.
This is a very old proverb, and a very true one. Sometimes we forget it, though, and say "I can't," before we have really tried at all. Now I should like to tell you the true story of two little Irish sweeps who had the will to learn to read, and found the way, although it was a very difficult one.
Some years ago a few kind people made up their minds to try to get hold of all the chimney-sweeps in Dublin and give them an education.
One day a little fellow came who was asked if he knew his letters.
"Oh, yes," he answered.
