Show Wise Child. A miserly landlord was going round collecting his rents the other dny. At one house he was greatly interested in a little girl who watched open-mouthed and open-eyed the business of paying pay-ing over the money and accepting the receipts. He patted her on the head and started to search his pockets, saying: "I must see what I have got for you." After searching his pockets for some .time he at last brought out from a remote re-mote corner a peppermint. As he handed it to the girl he said: "And now what will you do with that?" ! The little girl looked at It, then at i him, and replied: "Wash it." |
