WHICH?

I

1. There are two boys who go to the same school and are in the same class. One of them is called “Lazy Joe,” and the other “Happy John.” We shall soon see why.

2. Joe gets up very late in the morning, He dresses slowly, and has hardly time to wash his face or brush his hair.

3. He crawls to school like a snail, and is very often late. He never learns his lessons, so he is always at the foot of the class.

4. At home, he has no time to help his mother. When she sends him a message, he takes so long that she thinks he must have lost his way.

5. If she knew where to look for him, she would see how her lazy son spends his time.

6. She would very likely find him playing marbles with other boys as lazy as himself, or wasting his time in some other way.

7. A LAZY BOY BECOMES A LAZY MAN. If Joe does not mend his ways, he may fi nd when hebecomes a man that there is no room for him in this busy world.
