GOLDEN-ROD AND ASTER.

 
  

OLDEN HAIR and Blue Eyes lived at
the foot of a great hill.

’ On the top of this hill in a little hut
lived a strange, wise woman.

It was said that she could change people into
anything she wished. She looked so grim and
severe that people were afraid to go near her.

One summer day the two little girls at the foot of
the hill thought they would like to do pemietnine
to make everybody happy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I know,” said Golden, Hair, “Let us go and
ask the woman on the hill about it. She is very
wise and can surely tell us just what to do.”

“Oh, yes,” said Blue Eyes, and away they
Started at once.

It was a warm day and a long walk to the top of
the hill.
