"MAKE A PIE."
Reading edition
The summer before our Mary was two years old, she and her brother used to make pies in the sand, cutting them out with the cover of a little tin pail, always using water to mix them, if they could obtain it.
About this time, Bertie was learning,—
"Little drops of water, little grains of sand, Make the mighty ocean, and the pleasant land."
One day, Mary thought she would say it with him, so she began,—
"Little drops of water, little grains of sand, Make a pie."
"Make the mighty ocean, Mary," said her brother.
"No, make a pie," said Mary; and she could not be induced to say it right till months afterwards.
