<p><span class="upper">“Little</span> boy,” said the nurse
one day, “you would be far
better at work. Your garden
needs weeding sadly;
go now and weed it, like
a good child!”</p>
<p>But the little boy did not feel like
weeding that day.</p>
<p>“I can’t do it,” he said.</p>
<p>“Oh! yes, you can,” said the nurse.</p>
<p>“Well, I don’t want to,” said the little
boy.</p>
<p>“But you must!” said the nurse.
“Don’t be naughty, but go at once and
do your work as I bid you!”</p>
<p>She went away about her own work, for
she was very industrious; but the little boy
sat still, and thought himself ill-used.</p>
<p>By and by his mother came into the
room and saw him.</p>

<p>“What is the matter, little boy?” she
asked; for he looked like a three-days’
rain.</p>
<p>“Nurse told me to weed my garden,”
said the little boy.</p>
<p>“Oh,” said his mother, “what fun that
will be! I love to weed, and it is such a
fine day! Mayn’t I come and help?”</p>
<p>“Why, yes,” said the little boy. “You
may.” And they weeded the garden beautifully,
and had a glorious time.</p>
