Here comes Lisette, smiling as usual,
with her basket of nice, fresh water-cresses
upon her back. “Good morning, Lisette ;
have you had good success this morning?”

“Oh, yes, sir! See these bright coins
in my hand!” |

“Ah! surely; and you have a good
many cresses left yet.”

“Yes, sir; but I hope: to sell them all
before I go home.”

Lisette lives with her mother near the
city of Strasbourg. She helps to support the
family by selling cresses, which she gathers |
from a stream near by. lLisettes cheerful
face gains her many friends, and she nearly
always goes home with an empty basket
and a nice handful of money in her pocket.
She seems to carry sunshine into the little
cottage when she goes home. _
