TELLING A STORY.
DREAR and cold is the winter outside; but within there is a bright fire on the hearth. Jane and Susie, and Charles and John, and their elder sister Ann, are all seated comfortably in front of it. And now the children call on sister Ann to tell them a story; and this is what she tells them:--
"When I was a girl, and wanted to hear a story, and the grown-up people didn't feel like telling me one, they would say,--
"'I'll tell you a story about Jack O'Nory; And now my story's begun. I'll tell you another about Jack and his brother; And now my story's done.'
"One day, when I begged for one of the stories, my aunt told me that I couldn't hear about Jack O'Nory or his brother, because Mother Goose never told the stories about them; that she just began, and then thought better of it. After that I didn't ask any more; but I said to myself, 'If ever I get big, I'll find out those stories.' And so, sure enough, I did. And I am going to tell one of them now,--the one about Jack O'Nory himself.
