THE GREAT ADVENTURE.
To-day I'm on my v,»y to school: 1 have a book! And sec my orange big and round ? ' I have two pencils nnd n rule; To-day's my very first at school! My brother Billy's only three — Too young for school. I left him swinging" on the gate With Hags my dog—disconsolate. Poor Billv; H& is only three; That's why ho has to wait for me. Mv Daddy said to mo last night: " i'our Great Adventure's just ahead!" And smiled and tucked me into bed At school, perhaps, if I am bright I'll find out what he meant last night! I'm not afraid . I want to know What school is like And how to play with other boys. But, oh, if only Hags could go! He'd love a Great Adventure so. —Douglas Gary Wendell.
