M’CARDELL. 1, NCE upon a time, a long, long while ago, a little @& cried for the moon, 3 0 The moon in those days was round like a ball, an@ ag St turned round and round in tho sky it always looked mioe and white and smooth. Uttle girl enled for tt, and cried and cried, & the first ttle child that had ever cried in ¢il whole world and she annoyed everybody terribly. “We will get her @ pink elephant,” said her parents, @¢ they got her a pink elephant to play with, and the pink el@ phant took her around to all the confectioners and bought her candy and ice-cream. But still ithe little girl aried for the moon. “We will get her a Wiliopuswallupos,"" sald her parents, 6o they got her a Willopuswallupos that could see around the, corners and tell her what her dreams meant and make ev thing come true. But stiil the lttle girl cried for the moon. And one ing she told the Willopuswallupos she had dreamed she i the moon. So, of course, the Willopuswalupos had to ab. the dream come true. f ig ‘The little girl stopped crying. She had the moon. After she got dt she found it was too big to play wh, The only thing she could do with tt was to roll ¢t down hit So all day long she would roll it down hill, It was te heavy for her to carry up on the hills, so she used to that she was on top of a hill with dt, and the Wilopuawal. jupos used to have to make her dream come true. i Now, all tho nights wore dark beeause the «oon lay at the bottom of a hill after the Jittle girl got sleepy and had to go to bed to dream about it being carried to the top—whieh Bo, of course, when & fay at the bottom of the hill instead) of the sky nobody could sce tts light. ai All the people were angry because the nighis were amhy and they wanted (the moon taken from the iittle girl, But she wouldn't give 4t up, but kept rolling 4 down the hill, It bumped against rocks and trees and knocked a quarter of one olde off and half of another side. Finally | there was only one side left that was whole, and this side was full of scars, One duy the ttle girl sot tired of rolling the moon dowa ‘ail! and cried tor the pink elephant to take her to the dandy stores, But the Willopuswallupos said children could only have one thing at a time, an elephant or the moon. Bo the little girl dreamed one night there was no such thing tm the world as a Willopuswallupos, and the Willopus wallupos had to make the dream come true, So the fittic giri gave up the moon for the pink elephant, and they took the moon and hung {t up in the sky again, But the nights had been dark #0 long that the pink ele phant had turned brown and had forgotten the way to the candy stores. And this 13 why when the moon turns round in the sky you can see only parts of ft, and when you ece the side that _ dsn't broken off you will notice it 1s full of scars where It bumped thut side against stones and trees when the little gin rolled it down hill, but didu't break it on thet side. An this 4s why they won't give the moon to children when they ery for tt these days. And this 4s why there are no more Willopuswalluposes 6 look amound the gorners and make our reams come true, And Whis ds why there are no pink elephants to take little chiMtren to the gonfeotloners and buy them candy and ee cream, THE SORROWS OF LOVE.
