Amy: I read this verse about our hands not long ago:—
“Hands were made to be useful,
If you teach them the way;
Therefore for yourself or neighbor
Make them useful every day.”
Percy: You haven’t told us about the lower limbs yet, mother.
Mother: No; and any boy or girl who enjoys running and jumping would think theirs a hard lot if they had no legs.
Elmer: I saw a boy with only one not long ago.
Mother: It is a great loss when a person loses an arm or a leg. Such people are called cripples. How many parts has each leg?
Amy: Each one has two parts.
