MY NAUGHTY LITTLE SISTER AT THE PARTY (1)

MY NAUGHTY LITTLE SISTER AT THE PARTY (1)

You would think there could be another child as naughty as my naughty little sister, would you ?

But there was.
There was a thoroughly bad boy who was my naughty little sister's best boy-friend, and this boy's name was Harry.

This Bad Harry and my naughty little sister used to play together quite a lot in harry's garden, or our garden, and got up to dreadful mischief between them, picking all the baby gooseberries, and the green blackcurrants, and throwing sand on the flower-beds, and digging up the runner-bean seeds, and all the naughty sorts of thing you never, never do in the garden.

Now, one day this Bad Harry's birthday was near, and Bad Harry's mother said he could have a birthday-party and invite lot of children to tea.

So Bad Harry cme round to our house with a pretty card in an envelope for my naughty little sister, and this card was an invitation asking my naughty little sister to come to the birthday-party.

Bad Harry told my naughty little sister that there would be a lovely tea with jellies and sandwitches and birthday-cake, and my naughty little sister said, " Jolly good. "

And every time she thought about the party she said, " Nice tea and birthday-cake. "

And when the party day came she didn't make any fuss when my mother dressed her in her new green party-dress, and her green party-shoes and her green hair-ribbon.

And she didn't fidget and she didin't wriggle her head about when she was having her hair combed, she kept as still as sill,
Because she was so pleased to think about the party.

My mother said, " Now, what must you say at the party? "

My naughty little sister said, "I must say , ' nice tea.' "

But my mother said, " No, no, that would be a greedy thing to say. You must say, ' Please ' and ' thank you' like a good polite child, at tea-time, and say, ' thank you very very much for having me,'  when the party is over. "

And my naughty little sister said, " All right, Mother, I promise. "

So, my mother took my naughty little sister to the party.
