A SCHOOL CHILD
I am a school child.
I am only a little child.
Very often I hear people say that as a little child
I can do nothing for my country. They say that only
grown-ups are able to rriake our country prosperous,
happy, and peaceful. ·
· The farmer produces from the soil the food of the
people.
The fisherman gets fish from . the rivers and seas.
The miner digs from the ground minerals, such as
gold, silver, iron, coppiir, and petroleum.
The business man and. the 'merchant sell and buy
things needed by the people.
The physician and the nurse take care of the
health of the people.
The lawyer, the musician, the artist, the soldier,
·the minister, and other _grown-ups do something for
the country.
But I am only a little school child.
What can I do for my country?
I can do much! I do not need to wait until I am
grown up. Now, as a school child, I am doing a few
things for my country. Here are some of these things:
I am growing up to be a man or a woman.
I am keeping myself healthy and strong.
I am trying to do my best to form habits to. make
me live happily with other people.
I am trying to be thoughtful of others.
I am going to school.
I am the hope of my country. What I will be my
country will also be to-morrow.
To be a school child is to do the greatest thing· any
one can do for one's own country.

Not long after that on a moonlight eve-

"Oh, Mr. Monkey-Monk," he cried,
"the moon has fallen down into our well.

Old Monkey-Monk jumped up and
hurried to the well as fast as he could.
He looked down into the clear water.
Yes, it was true. The moon had fallen
into the well. With his very own eyes
he could see the moon right there in the
water.
"Come, let us get the moon out of the
well," he said to the monkeys arouncl him.
"How shall we get it out?" asked one
of the youngest monkeys.
Every monkey began scratching his
head and thinking.
Finally the wisest of the monkeys made
a suggestion. "This is the way, Father
