I am a little boy seven years old. I do not go to school, but study
at home. I can write a little, and read very well, and I read all
about Jumbo, and I want to tell the little people a funny story
about him. My auntie was in England, and when in the Zoological
Gardens one day she saw Jumbo carrying many happy children about on
his back. After a time she sat down on a bench with a lady, and had
a biscuit in her hand. They had their faces close down over a book,
to learn all about where to go. Presently it grew dark before them,
and my auntie felt something strange touching her hand, and looking
up, there stood Jumbo helping himself to the biscuit in her hand
without any ceremony. My auntie says Jumbo had the bench all to
himself without any delay. I like HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE so much!
and watch for it every week.
