Show Young Diplomat. Teddy, aged 4, often called on his nearest neighbor, Mrs. Brown, who petted him a good deal and usually gave him a couple of her nice cookies, and if she happened to forget to pass them out he sometimes reminded her of it. H-ts father learned of this and chided him for begging, and told him he must not do so any more. A day or two later Teddy came home with cookie crumbs in evidence. "Have you been begging cookies from Mrs. Brown again?" asked his father, sternly. "No!" said Teddy. "I didn't beg for any. I just said 'this house smells as if it was full of cookies, but what's that to me.' " National Monthly. |
