Hero Is a small boy's Ingenuous "composition" on politeness: po-liteness: , "Never eat quickly, or you might got bones in your throat. My father knows of a hoy who got killed over his Sunday dinner. Tho greody boy was picking a rabbit's head In a hurry, and swallowed ono Jaw of It, and my father says he was choked to death there and then. Ho very polito ovor your meals, then, especially when It's rabbits. Since my father told me thai, I have always felt rather queer over a rabbit dinner. I don't talk much, and don't ask for any moro."
