"Selfless" and "Thoughtful" were sisters of the little "Gold-wings"
(Story Lesson 1). I cannot tell you which of the two was the sweetest
and best; they were =both= so lovable, for like "Gold-wings" they were
always thinking of others, and especially of how they could give
pleasure to the sick and weak. One day, as they sat on a mossy bank in
the Fairy wood, "Selfless" asked, "What shall we do next, sister?" and
"Thoughtful" made answer, "I have been thinking of little Davie, who is
so lame and weak; suppose I go to the Kindergarten and try to get some
one to be kind to him". "A good idea," replied "Selfless," "and I will
fly over the fields and see what can be done there; then in the
moonlight we will meet, and tell each other what we have done." So they
spread their pretty wings and flew away.

Now it is night in the Fairy wood, and in the silver moonlight the
sisters rest again on the mossy bank and talk.
