to the royal menagerie without hurting them。 

     Life was very terrible to the prince�察�now�察�but he began to see that he 

had brought all his sorrow on himself�察�and he tried to bear it patiently。 The 

worst to bear was the cruelty of the keeper。 At last�察�one night�察�this keeper 

was in great danger�察�a tiger got loose�察�and attacked him。 ;Good enough� �

Let him die� ─�thought Prince Cherry。 But when he saw how helpless the 

keeper was�察�he repented�察�and sprang to help。 He killed the tiger and saved 

the keeper's life。 

     As he crouched at the keeper's feet�察�a voice said�察 �Good actions never 

go unrewarded� ─�And the terrible monster was changed into a pretty little 

white dog。 

     The   keeper   carried   the   beautiful   little   dog   to   the   court   and   told   the 

story�察�and from then on�察�Cherry was carefully treated�察�and had the best of 

everything。   But   in   order   to   keep   the   little   dog   from   growing�察  �the   queen 

ordered that he should be fed very little�察�and that was pretty hard for the 

poor prince。 He was often half starved�察�although so much petted。 

     One day he had carried his crust of bread to a retired spot in the palace 

woods�察�where he loved to be�察�when he saw a poor old woman hunting for 

roots�察�and seeming almost starved。 

     ;Poor thing�察─�he thought�察 �she is even hungrier than I�察─�and he ran up 

and dropped the crust at her feet。 

     The woman ate it�察�and seemed greatly refreshed。 

     Cherry was glad of that�察�and he was running happily back to his kennel 

when   he   heard   cries   of   distress�察  �and   suddenly   he   saw   some   rough   men 

dragging along a young girl�察�who was weeping and crying for help。 What 

was his horror to see that the young girl was Zelia� �Oh�察�how he wished he 

were the monster once more�察�so that he could kill the men and rescue her� �

But he could do nothing except bark�察�and bite at the heels of the wicked 

men。   That   could   not   stop    them�察  �they   drove   him   off�察  �with   blows�察  �and 

carried Zelia into a palace in the wood。 

     Poor Cherry crouched by the steps�察�and watched。 His heart was full of 

pity   and   rage。   But   suddenly   he   thought�察   �I   was   as   bad   as   these   men�察  �I 

myself put Zelia in prison�察�and would have treated her worse still�察�if I had 

not been prevented。; The thought made him so sorry and ashamed that he

repented bitterly the evil he had done。 

     Presently a window opened�察�and Cherry saw Zelia lean out and throw 

down a piece of meat。 He seized it and was just going to devour it�察�when 

the old woman to whom he had given his crust snatched it away and took 

him in her arms。 ;No�察�you shall not eat it�察�you poor little thing�察─�she said�察�

;for every bit of food in that house is poisoned。; 

     At     the   same     moment�察      �a  voice     said�察   �Good      actions     never    go 

unrewarded� ─  �And   instantly   Prince   Cherry   was   transformed   into   a   little 

white dove。 

     With great joy�察�he flew to the open palace window to seek out his Zelia�察�

to try to help her。 But though he hunted in every room�察�no Zelia was to be 

found。   He   had   to   fly   away�察  �without   seeing   her。   He   wanted   more   than 

anything else to find her�察�and stay near her�察�so he flew out into the world�察�

to seek her。 

     He sought her in many lands�察�until one day�察�in a far eastern country�察�he 

found   her   sitting   in   a   tent�察  �by   the   side   of   an   old�察  �white´haired   hermit。 

Cherry was wild with delight。 He flew to her shoulder�察�caressed her hair 

with his beak�察�and cooed in her ear。 

     ;You dear�察�lovely little thing� ─�said Zelia。 ;Will you stay with me�拭�If 

you will�察�I will love you always。; 

     ;Ah�察  �Zelia�察  �see   what   you   have   done� ─  �laughed   the   hermit。   At   that 

instant�察   �the   white    dove    vanished�察    �and    Prince    Cherry     stood    there�察  �as 

handsome and charming as ever�察�and with a look of kindness and modesty 

in   his   eyes   which   had   never   been   there   before。   At   the   same   time�察  �the 

hermit   stood   up�察  �his   flowing   hair   changed   to   shining   gold�察  �and   his   face 

became      a   lovely   woman's      face�察  �it  was   the   Fairy   Candide。      ;Zelia   has 

broken your spell�察─�she said to the Prince�察 �as I meant she should�察�when 

you were worthy of her love。; 

     Zelia   and   Prince   Cherry   fell   at   the   fairy's   feet。   But   with   a   beautiful 

smile     she   bade    them    come     to   their  kingdom。       In  a  trice�察  �they   were 

transported to the Prince's palace�察�where King Suliman greeted them with 

tears of joy。 He gave back the throne�察�with all his heart�察�and King Cherry 

ruled again�察�with Zelia for his queen。 

     He wore the little gold ring all the rest of his life�察�but never once did it

                  THE GOLD IN THE ORCHARD��1�А�



     ��1�А�An Italian folk tale。 

       There was once a farmer who had a fine olive orchard。 He was very 

industrious�察�and the   farm always   prospered under his care。  But he knew 

that his three sons despised the farm work�察�and were eager to make wealth 

fast�察�through adventure。 

     When the farmer was old�察�and felt that his time had come to die�察�he 

called   the   three   sons   to   him   and   said�察   �My   sons�察  �there   is   a   pot   of   gold 

hidden in the olive orchard。 Dig for it�察�if you wish it。; 

     The sons tried to get him to tell them in what part of the orchard the 

gold was hidden�察�but he would tell them nothing more。 

     After the  farmer  was   dead�察 �the  sons   went to   work   to   find the  pot   of 

gold�察�since they did not know where the hiding´place was�察�they agreed to 

begin   in   a   line�察  �at   one   end   of   the   orchard�察  �and   to   dig   until   one   of   them 

should find the money。 

     They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard 

to the  other�察 �round   the  tree´roots   and between   them。  But   no   pot   of   gold 

was to be found。 It seemed as if some one must have stolen it�察�or as if the 

farmer     had   been    wandering      in  his  wits。   The   three   sons   were    bitterly 

disappointed to have all their work for nothing。 

     The  next olive  season�察 �the  olive  trees   in   the  orchard   bore  more   fruit 

than   they   had   ever    given�察  �the   fine   cultivating   they   had   had   from   the 

digging brought so much fruit�察�and of so fine a quality�察�that when it was 

sold it gave the sons a whole pot of gold� �

     And   when   they   saw   how   much   money   had   come   from   the   orchard�察�

they suddenly understood what the wise father had meant when he said�察�

;There is gold hidden in the orchard�察�dig for it。;

                  MARGARET OF NEW ORLEANS 



       If you ever go to the beautiful city of New Orleans�察�somebody will be 

sure to take you down into the old business part of the city�察�where there are 

banks and shops and hotels�察�and show you a statue which stands in a little 

square there。 It is the statue of a woman�察�sitting in a low chair�察�with her 

arms around a child�察�who leans against her。 The woman is not at all pretty�此�

she wears thick�察�common shoes�察�a plain   dress�察�with a little shawl�察�and   a 

sun´bonnet�察�she is stout and short�察�and her face is a square´chinned Irish 

face�察�but her eyes look at you like your mother's。 

     Now   there   is   something   very  surprising   about   this   statue�此  �it   was   the 

first one that was ever made in this country in honor of a woman。 Even in 

old Europe there are not many monuments to women�察�and most of the few 

are to great queens or princesses�察�very beautiful and very richly dressed。 

You see�察�this statue in New Orleans is not quite like anything else。 

     It   is   the   statue   of   a   woman   named   Margaret。   Her   whole   name   was 

Margaret Haughery�察�but no one in New Orleans remembers her by it�察�any 

more   than   you   think   of   your   dearest   sister   by   her   full   name�察  �she   is   just 

Margaret。 This is her story�察�and it tells why people made a monument for 

her。 

     When Margaret was a tiny baby�察�her father and mother died�察�and she 

was adopted by two young people as poor and as kind as her own parents。 

She lived with them until she grew u
