BIRTHDAY TREATS

I’m five to-day, and, oh, it’s true, There's simply wonderful things to do. I’ll tear my clothes, and wet my feet, All as a sort of a birthday treat. I’ll climb up trees, I’ll hold the hose, I’ll look in dad’s motor, to see how it goes. I’ll chase the dog, I’ll tease the cat, I’ll pour cold tea in the doctor’s hat. I’ll ring at doors and run away; There'll be no end of the tricks I’ll play. But mummie says, if I do all this, That she won’t give me a good-night kiss; And as my mummie is very sweet, Well, that is the nicest birthday treat! —H.G. (Sent by Frances Miller, Rangitata Island.) A SUM. Take the tail of an apple And the tall of a pig, Then to these two add the end of a wig. Do this sum your very best And you will surely meet the test. Answer: Egg. (Sent by "Foxglove," imaru).
