ONE fine spring day six children went to the woods to gather wild flowers. Oh, how they enjoyed the warm sunshine while they filled their little baskets with violets, buttercups, and spring beauties! And the air was filled with the sweet perfume.

KIND TO THE AGED

The flowers were so pretty and there were so many that the children could hardly stop when the baskets were filled. Soon they started for home. “Let’s give some flowers to the old people,” said one. “Yes, let’s do,” said the rest, and off they went, and many were the smiles from the old people that day.

Let us be kind to the aged. When we meet any one who is old, let us speak to them kindly and give them a smile.

READING TO OLD PEOPLE

The old people did much for us when we were too small to care for ourselves. Let us not forget their kindness.
