I was very glad when papa came home with a little paper for me, and
I took it from his hand and looked at it for about ten minutes, and
then asked him if he would take it for me. When he found out that I
read it all through, he asked which story I liked the best, and I
told him, "The Story of a Parrot." Papa takes HARPER'S MAGAZINE,
but I would rather have YOUNG PEOPLE. I have read all about the
"Brave Swiss Boy," and I hope he will become rich.
