PETER PAN’S LETTER
“The Way to be Happy Oneself is to Make Others Happy.”
n TYear girls and boys, ~ § « :: As Peter writes this letter to you he gaze 3 out of the window to B see the grey skies sending down heavy showers of rain and then ho £♦ »t creeps closer to his heater in an endeavour to keep warm. Oh, dear, 2 B whatever can be the matter with Mr Weather Man ? Peter was quite p sure that the spring days were hero again, but now, here is Mr Rain g H paying us long wintry visits while that horrible old Weather Man sulks g H for days and days, and doesn’t even think of giving us a very sunny H day at all. The Twins said that he was suffering from growing pains £ £ again and so he doesn’t feel at all happy but Peter thinks that he is H B far too lazy to turn off the rain tap. g Scamp and Smutty have been having such lovely games lately, for g S those mischievaus pet 3 love the wet grass and the muddy puddles. « I Every time Peter sees those pets they are looking very muddy and £ wet and the Wendy Person scolds and scolds but Scamp just keeps on £ rolling in the water until the Wendy Person stops scolding then he U goes and shakes hands with her. g S Poter has been finding fresh signs of spring In his garden this g g week in spite of Mr Weather Man’s bad temper. For there was the £ S loveliest clump of golden daffies in bloom with three rosy-pink ane- g mones close by and then the next day the Twins found a tiny spray of £ I** golden broom out In full bloom. The Sunshine Girl has Just burst g Into Peter’s room carrying the loveliest bunch of golden daffodils and soft maidenhair fern and she Is looking very pleased with herself, g “These are to cheer up our room, Peter, it looks so cold and miserable £ H without flowers, doesn’t it?” So now Peter doesn’t mind in the very g g slightest if the skies frown all day for there Is daffodil gold everywhere *| 22 and that Is nearly as good as golden sunshine, isn’t it? And now that it g there are so many bright gardens again Beauty Seekers will commence g tt next weefi. So keep your eyes open members and let otir Spring Page it g havo lots and lots of Beauty Seekers. £ g Peter hopes that you are all looking for Spring verses and stories, it g members, for the page next week. There are so many pretty little £ H verses just waiting to be printed if you will only look for them. Jenne ;♦ £ tells Peter that there Is only another week until they set sail on the g Holiday Ship again and those mischievous twins are all ready for their g Journey In the train, while their mummy Is being oh, so very busy, g mending jerseys which somehow seem to get torn In the most unlikely ii § spots. Jenne says that she Is sure It Is the naughty goblins who make £ g the holes but Tony told Peter that the barbed wire always seemed to u tj catch his coat when he climbs through the wire fence, adventure bound, 8 £ But now Peter must close, with lots of love and gay gardens of ii ♦j your own with thoughts of Spring pages and happy days! H g From yours, g £ Busily hunting for Spring verses, H
