THE NEWSBOY
Every morning the newsboy comes with a newspaper.
He leaves it on the back porch.
Sometimes Bobby brings it in to Father.
Sometimes Betty brings it to him.
Father likes to read the paper before he goes to his work.
One morning Father said to Bobby, “Bring in the paper.”
“It hasn’t come, Daddy,” answered Bobby.
“The newsboy is late this morning,” said Father.
“He is coming now,” said Betty. “I see him.”
Bobby went out on the back porch.
The newsboy tossed a paper on the porch and ran to the next house.
Bobby took the paper to Father.
“Thank you, Bobby,” said Father.
“I want to be a newsboy,” said Bobby. “Mother, may I be a newsboy?”
“What is that you are saying?” asked Father.
“I want to be a newsboy, Father,” said Bobby.
“Betty, what do you think of that?” asked Father.
“I think Bobby is too little,” said Betty. “When Bobby is bigger he can be a newsboy.”
