Why It Would Sound Better.

Little 5-year-old Annie, who was suffering from a bad cold, went to pay a visit to auntie. During the day she related her various successes at school, and ended by declaring that she could read a good deal better than Sabrina, who was 5 yea? old. “Well,” questioned auntie, “wouldn’t it sound better if somebody else said it?” “Yes,” answered Annie, with a sober countenance, “I think it would; I have such a bad cold I can’t say it verywdll.” — Harper’s Bazar.
