Yod bet lit. is. Let me show you. I'll lay, the candy down, here on the step, and. you all go down there.,- and come, up, when you i hear me' call; like a rooster."' ,The 'girls retreated. and gathered in a. group about fifteen feet off, while the , boy got on his knees, with his head over the candy, and began to call and strut, and flap his arms, like a rooster's wings. -"Cluck, cluck, rat, tat, tap, cluck I" and all the little girls came running up, and bent to pick up the candy, when the' littte fellow opened his mouth and took it in at one gulp. " Oh, you mean boy, they cried, " you have taken up all our candy 1" ; " That',s 'cause I played rooster," said the 'boy ; "rooster always calls the hens vp 1 when he finds a grain of com, and then picks it up himself."
