May comes to the Rescue. 159
stopped for a little fun with his
grandmother, he saw this tempting
basin, and could not help thinking
how delightful it must be to have
money enough to buy all that sugar,
and how, when he was a man, he
would always keep his pockets filled,
so that he could eat a lump when-
ever he felt inclined.

So he went to bed with his young
head full of the thoughts of those
lumps of sugar. He did not know
that there was any harm in thinking
about them, or any danger either; and
so he lay awake a long time for him,
thinking these thoughts, and wonder-
ing whether mother would give him
another lump next morning.
