第55章 WHICH LOVED BEST.

1."I love you,mother," said little John; Then,forgetting work,his cap went on,And he was o. to the garden swing,Leaving his mother the wood to bring.

2."I love you,mother," said rosy Nell;"I love you better than tongue can tell;" Then she teased and pouted full half the day,Till her mother rejoiced when she went to play.

3."I love you,mother," said little Fan; "To-day Iˊll help you all I can;How glad I am that school doesn’t keep!" So she rocked the baby till it fell asleep.

4.Then,stepping softly,she took the broom,And swept the.oor,and dusted the room; Busy and happy all day was she,Helpful and cheerful as child could be.

5."I love you,mother," again they said- Three little children going to bed; How do you think that mother guessed Which of them really loved her best.
