His Composition.

“Chijdren,” said the teacher, while instructing a class in composition, “you should not attempt any flights in fancy but simply be yourself and write what is in you. Do not imiate any other person’s writings or draw inspirations from outside sources/’ As the result of this advise Jofiny Wise turned in the following composition: “We should not attempt any flites in fancy, but rite what is in us. In me there is my stummiok, lungs, hart, liver, two apples, one piece of pie, one stick of lemon candy and my dinner.”
