NAUGHTY JOHNNY.

 

“Jounny would climb trees. His mam-
ma had often told. him not to do it. Last
night he climbed a rough tree, full of knots,
and in getting down fe tore his clothes.”

“His little sister doesn’t look very angry
about it, does she, mamma?”

ENio, Katty. 1 stispect che mather likes
to have Johnny climb after cherries, and
apples,, and nuts.”

“But his mamma looks displeased. — Is
she going to punish him?”

ye. Kitty; she is going to wake him
stay in the house all day long, and not go
out to play at all.”

“It serves him just right. I guess he
thinks so, too. See how he hangs his head.”

“Yes; Johnny says he supposes it is right;
but he can’t see why it is that the nicest
cherries always grow at the top of the tree,
if it’s wrong to climb for them.”
