Teacher says every live thing that’s happy works; birds, flowers, children; that those that won’t work shouldn’t eat. He says the greatest joy is to do the work you like best as well as you can.”，“Bear up aft there!” Billy commanded; and “Ay, ay, sir,” came back in equally nautical language.，Mrs. Wopp, after ascertaining that the little boy had received no bodily injury, stood mopping her heated face with the half-mended sock. She ceased operations to survey Betty more carefully.，“I’ll give you spalpeens something to laugh over!” threatened the injured one, as he brushed the snow and dust from his hat.
