"JOHN AND MARY. John lives in a small house. He is nice, neat boy. He has a little sister. Her name is Mary. One day John was helping his mother. When the work was done, his mother sent him on an errand. His sister went with him. When they came down the street they saw some boys throw stones at a kitten. The boys ran away from it to go after a big wagon which came by. Mary and John saw the poor little kitten, and took it home.Their mother gave them some milk for it. The little kitten is most afraid to drink the milk. I think boys should be kind to animals."
