Polly and the Pond
TAY right on the veranda, Polly,” eau
tioned her mother, pausing in the door
way before going upstairs, ‘‘for I want
you to look just as clean and sweet when the
new minister and his wife come to tea as you
do now.”
Polly really intended to do just what her
mother had told her, and she sat almost a quar
ter of an hour on the porch swing holding one
of her dolla. Then she chanced to look at the
globe where the three goldfish lived.
"I believe I’ll go down to the pond and
get a few tadpoles anil snails,” she thought to
herself. ‘‘The poor goldfish get so lonesome,
and mamma said yesterday I eould get some
and put them in.” So saying she ran down
from the poreh with her bright yellow pail in
her hand, and hurried into the pasture behind
the barn.
Here in a few minutes she had filled her
pail with water and a dor.en or more tadpoles
and snails and was just turning about to go
home, when slip! Her feet flew out from under
her and she sat down in the muddy water
right up to her waist.
Goodness! Her white and rose organdie
dress didn't look pretty any more, and instead
of milk and fanev rakes with the visitors that
afternoon Polly had to put on her dressing
robe and go to feed with a hot water bottle at
her feet.
