EE little Nellie playing with her kitten. She had waked up early; but nurse was not ready to dress her.
She was just going to cry, when the kitten jumped up on the bed, and stood there with such a comical look, that, instead of crying, Nellie could not help laughing.
Then she got a string and began to play with kitty; so that when the nurse came in she found them both quite happy.
One day, Nellie was playing with her doll, and put it down in her lap. Kitty, who had been watching her all the time, jumped up in Nellie's lap, pushed the doll out, and lay down, looking at her mistress, as if to say,—
"What did you take her up for? I am the only one that has any right here."
