CHU AND CHI
This is a Chinese story which is told in the Chinese school books.
The Chu State was at war with the Chi Stale, and an officer told the Chu general that he would frighten the Cni general back to his country. That night he went to the enemy's camp* and took away the Chi general’s bed-curtain without anyone knowing. It was returned the next day With a message saying that a Chu soldier had found it while looking for firewood. The next night the officer stole the general’s pillow, and this. too. was restored. On the third night he stole the pin which secured the general’s hair. When the Chi general discovered this he called a council of war, and, in great alarm said to his Officers; ‘‘We must return at once to our own country. If we stop here another night I shall have my head stolon;” —JUNE HOPE, Addington. Father; "Tommy, remind me to buy some fruit when we gel into town.” Tommy: “If you remind mo to remind you,” -JUNE LANE, M.G. (aged 9), Horotane.
