From the moment he could toddle around alone, he had gone straight to the poppies in his mother's garden and pulled off all the heads. This was out of sheer love, not naughtiness. When Billy -grew to be three year# old he still loved red flowers, but he did not pull off their heads. He kept them tightly in his fist, and smiled with contentment. One afternoon his mother took him shopping with her. There were a few last things she needed before Christmas. Billy was -enchanted by the gay stores and happy looking people. He chattered by his mother's side and looked at everything with all his might. Onc^ when they were waiting to cross a street, Billy's eyes grew rounder than ever, for they were looking straight Into a large, red polnsettla in a shop window. He had never seen' anything so beautiful. The policeman's whistle blew. People streamed across the street. But Billy's mother found that her little boy had not come with her. Someho# he had slipped away. She felt a rnqm'ent of panic and ran back to the policeman before the traffic light changed. "My little boy," she gasped, "I don't know where he is!" Then she heard a clear call. "Mamma! Here's -- a -- present -- for you!" Billy's voice. She and the big policeman looked toward the other Curb. Wedged In between peoples' legs and bundles stood Billy waving "a great red flower. His face was all smiles. "A-- SSSmas present!" called Billy again. His mother and the policeman made a dash for him. The lights changed. Traffic roared by. "I found it in a said Billy, "right there!" A surrr'sed clerk was looking out of the flower shop window. "Lots and lots of pretty flowers," caroled the child, "not deaded like our ga«>n." •"i Lank heaven!" breathed his mother, "and thank you, Billy, for my present." The policeman grinned and Billy's mother went in to pay for the flower. "He doesn't knpw any better. He thinks your shop is a garden," she explained. "I'll ^try to make blm understand." "Oh, that's all right,** replied the clerk, "Mevy Christmas, I'm sure!" Billy's mother hugged - the- child with a prayer of thankfulness in Her heart, and shuddered to think of what might have happened. "This is a Merry- Christmas!" she smiled, and Billy wondered why she held him so close. (®. 1930. Western Newspaper Urfton.)
