The study is hapâ€" hazard and. anything is considered good enough. This is why most of us never get past the primary stage. We are afraid of the monotony and drudâ€"| gery of real work. .

After a while they dried up inside the shell and wouldn‘t smell any more even 1t vyou did break them. Thon Mamma Hen started out to take a walk with her babies. They thought it was fine and scratched around in the straw in the big barn and looked so little and cute while they were having a good time, Just then the door opened and the farmer man‘s little boy, Billy, came in, and when he opened the door a big cold wind came in too, and that old wind felt awfully cold to these little chicks. ‘lBesides that they never saw a little i boy before and he looked terribly big | to them, so they ran back to Mamma | Hen before Billy saw them.
