SCHOOL NOTES
The Grasshopper
Louise Ahrens
I played my banjo and sang
songs all summer. I watched ;i
lot of ants. I told them to stop
their hard work. They said,
“Winter is coming.” I said, “Ah,
let winter take care of itself.” So
I went away again and played
my banjo.
Winter came a little while
after, as the ants said. I had a
hard time. All of my friends
died. At last there was no one
left but me. I could not find, any
food I went to the house of an
ant. I asked her for food. She
said that she could spare me
none. So I went to another house.
The ant that lived there would
not give me even a bite of bread.
So 1 went to another house, and
that anl would not give me even
a crumb of bread. I think the
ants are selfish, because they
don’t give me any food. I shall
die if summer does not come
soon i wish I had worked like
the ants.
The Three Bandits
Leonard Bren wick
Longfellow had three child
ren. Their names were Alice,
Allegra, and Edith. The children,
knew when the play hour began
They were pretending they
were bandits. They were plann
ing to climb the castle wall,
which was his study room.
When they came to c'imb the
castle wall, they found three
doors unguarded. Edith went in
one door, Allegra went in anoth
er door, and Alice went in anoth
er door. They all rushed in at
the same time. When they got
in they climbed theturret,
which was his arm chair. One
climbed over one arm, the other
went over the other side of the
arm chair, and the other went
over the back.
They tried to capture him,
but he captured them instead.
He put them in his jail, which
was his heart. He was going to
keep them there tail the walls
shoulu crumble to ruin, and
and molder in dust away.

The Ant’s Story
Margaret Ahrens
“I worked hard in summer.
[ got lots of food in my little
cart. In winter I’ll have lots of
food
Those grasshoppers don’t
know liow to work. They are
lazy grasshoppers When winter
comes those grasshoppers will
come to my house and ask for
food. But I will not give them
i
any food. If they want food they
have to work. They cannot have

A Wish
Verna Wilis
Last week I was sick in bed;
and a man came in the house,'
and asked me how I felt. I told
him I didn’t feel very good. Then '
he told me to make a wish. I'
wished to be healthy and never
get sick.
I like this wish, because
when I am sick, I can’t go out
and play, or go to school and
learn to do things. So if I am
healthy I can go to school and
play.
You don’t get much in this
world by sitting down and wait
ing for it.
