Saint Valentines Day.
by
Marion Wills.
In a little town in Italy there
Iiv«d a kind old man. He was
poor, and lived in a little room
in a tenement house. He loved
children and always was kind to
t hem.
There was a laayre window in
nis room. This man’s name was
'v alentine. He was a writer and
ins desk was hy the window. !
.1 ist below his window there
was an alley. All the little children
p ayed in this alley. They weir
all poor children. Valentine used
to watch them and wondered
what he could do to make them
happy.
One day he had a plan. Mi*
collected all kinds of ribbons and
p-per lace. Out of these he made
pretty little presents lor the
<• uldren. One day lie went to the1
w adow and whistled, and all the
at once children came running
from all di rections.He threw 1 in >*•
1. t ie jrifts out, and watched the
children scramble for them.
He did this many times and
;dl the children knew him and
l > ai him. This way of making
P ople happy spread all over the
<• ntry. All tin* people liked him
■' *-l told the Rope about him.
b »ei- he was made a saint by
t e* Pope. He was then Saint
\ .dentine. That was the be** inn
ine of St. Valentinus Day. It has
circled the world and every body
lilies St. Valentines Day.
