all bears "woof." As they walked In the woods they came to a tree where wild bees were swarming. They thought these insects said Buzzzzzzz . So Keen. Pyes and Pigeon named them that. At night they went in the cave and rolled the stone into the door ' way and lay on their pile of skin in the darkness. A sound was heard it said pit, pat, pit, pat pit pat. It was a Saber-tooth tiger prowling. The called him "Pit Pat." They went to sleep until the daylight came. Thus they began to form a language by naming them by the sounds they made.

STORY
OF A KIND DEED
One cold, winter day Ruth and
Robert were going to buy some cakes. As they were going along they saw a very hungry looking man. They, went into the store and
got some cakes. When they came out the man said, "Will you give me "something to eat?"
"You can have these cakes," said
Robert.
The man asked them what their
names were and the ytold him.
He thanked them and went off.
The children went home and told their mother, and she said that was a kind deed. They never saw
the man after that. The children's father and mother were very poor.
One day the father did not have any work. They were uptown and they met this man. He had made
a large fortune and owned a large shop. He let Robert and Ruth'a father go to work for him, and they lived happily. Dolores Manes, 6A
grade, Whitewater school.
OUR PLAYFUL KITTEN In the summer a stray kitten
came to our nouse. We took her
in and fed her, and called her Baucis.
She Is full of tricks. When wo
are not looking, she pulls the table cloth off. When she wants to go
out of doors she stands at the door and cries, and when she wants in
scratches on the doors. At night
she crawls in my doll buggy and 'sleeps with my doll. Kathryn
Paust, grade 4A, Starr school.
