SMALL SUNBEAMS

WASHING

Monday Is a busy day For washing we must do. And we must wash out dresses gay, And socks and pinnies, too.

And then we hang them on the And hope that soon they’ll dry, Because the Wind is blowing fine And the sun is In the sky. —AILEEM TOMLINSON (aged 10), BrOOKSide,

OUR BONFIRE

Would you like to khow what we did oh Saturday? We burnt all the leaves that had fallen from our big

walnut tree; it was such fun raking them into a heap and running through the smoke. In the afternooh we made a playhouse. We picked a lovely sunny Spot under some trees, and found a lot of dishes, tins, bottles, and boxes, Then our playmate came to play. I showed her the playhouse, then we played with the dolls. —JOYCE BOAL, Killinehy.

“WHERE’S YOUR TAIL?” We have a Manx kitten at home which is very funny. When our other cat comes inside, the kitten springs up on its hind legs and bites the cat’s tail. Rut when the

cat turns round to bite the kitten’s tail he finds' the kitten has not got one. -MARY GOLDSMITH (aged 9), Staveley.
