Version One

What a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the grass is green, I feel good! I am not worried about anything. This stream makes me happy. I could live in a dream world forever! I love to row my boat. But no, no, no; it can not stay this way. I must get back to work. Grandma's garden needs my work. The weeds are growing along with the potatoes and tomatoes. I must hoe every row of plants. I must cut down every weed. I know that the tomatoes and potatoes will be beautiful if they are healthy. Grandma really loves her garden. All of grandma's vegetables have a glow from her love. Grandma is so full of love, that I cannot help myself.

When I am with her, I laugh and laugh and laugh. We really have a lot of fun. We even play games while we work: stand up, turn around, wave, lift your feet, and sit down right on a patch of weeds.

A Cookie and a Kiss Anita Howard Wade

A house should have a cookie jar For when it's half past three And children hurry home from school As hungry as can be, There's nothing quite so splendid In filling children up As spicy, fluffy ginger cakes And sweet milk in a cup.

A house should have a mother Waiting with a hug No matter what the boy brings homeA puppy or a bug, For children only loiter When the bell rings to dismiss, I no one's home to greet them With a cookie and a kiss.

Gingerbread Mrs. Mark Andrews, North Dakota

1/2 cup butter 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 cup molasses 1 teaspoon ginger 1 teaspoon soda 1 cup boiling water Cream butter and sugar. Add molasses and eggs ans tir. Sift flour and add remaining ingredients. When mixed, add one cup boiling water and stir until smooth. Put in 9" square pan and bake for 35 minutes at 350째. Can be frozen.

GOOD "Bill, Bill, come here," said the foreman. "I want you to go pick one bucket of very good apples for this lady. Here is the basket, get going, hurry." Bill took the basket and started down the rows of trees. "Very good?" he thought to himself. "He must mean those nice ripe ones on the north slope." After some time, Bill returned with a basket of fine, ripe red apples. "Here you go boss, one bushel of bright, Red Delicious Apples, the ripest in the orchard." "Oh no, Bill, the lady will be furious. Get on over to the south slope and get some big, nice apples, the best we've got.

She doesn't want these little reds. Oh, they are passable, but I want perfect ones." Bill trudged over to the south slope and picked a bushel of huge, dark red Roman Beauties. "She'll like these," he thought. "Here you go boss, I think these will be very pleasing to her. They make the most superb apple pies!" "No, you idiot, not pie apples, EATING APPLES." Up on the south slope.

Those really rare beauties in that old tree on the SOUTH SLOPE!" Bill plodded up the south slope again, wondering if he would ever get it right. As he slowly returned packing a bushel of the largest, reddest, most perfect apples he had ever seen, his heart was light. He knew the lady would be pleased. "Bill, Bill, No, No, you idiot." "Now what? these rare beauties are the finest we have every grown!" " Bill, Bill, you took so long, the lady got tired of waiting and left!"
