104 Charity.

I think I have heard the story of these three
schoolboys. Their names are Tommy, George,
and John. Each of them has had his weekly
pocket-money just given him, and they walk
out together, thinking how they shall spend
it. First they come to a pastry-cook’s; and
here Tommy spends all his money. Then

 

they all walk on to the toy-shop. Here

George soon invests his little fortune in a toy ;

but John is still looking about to choose one,

when an old beggar-man appears at the door,

John thinks how tired and hungry he looks,

and, remembering that there is a baker’s shop ,
next door, he runs there and buys a large loaf

of bread for the poor man. Which ot the boys,

think you, spent his money the best ?
