A Good Boy
Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. “What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday？”“I gave it to a poor old woman，” he answered.“You're a good boy，” said the mother proudly. “Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman？”“She is the one who sells the candy.”
