But grown persons are clever enough to know how to impose on the children.
Three years ago I asked thee to bring me some one with whom I could talk--some one who would be company for me.

Thou broughtest me cats and dogs and a bird! Two years ago I wished I might learn how to make pictures; and I was given paper patterns to color with water-colors.

One year ago to-day I wished I might learn how to make music; and a hand-organ was bought for me.

Oh, yes; my wishes have always been fulfilled, but always in a way that cheated me.

Children are always treated so.
