‘Yes; but Jesus loved everybody,
and didn’t think about Himself,’ said
May. ‘It says in God’s Book that
the foxes have holes, and the birds of

‘Me would have given Him me’s
own bed, Johnny said, with very
tearful eye. ‘Me wish He had a
good p’ace to s’eep in.’

‘He might have made one,’ May
answered, ‘because He was God,
and God can do anything. But He
was only thinking of people that
weren't happy and well.’

‘Me fink Jesus was very kind,’
said little Johnny.
