"Oh dear!" said Ruth. He is going to talk another." It took an hour for the sand to run out of the glass. The Pilgrims had no clocks. Do sit still!" said her grandma. But Ruth could not. She made a great deal of noise. The man looked at her. Another man shook his head at her. Her mamma was sorry to have Ruth so naughty. The man turned the hour-glass three times. At last he stopped talking. Ruth was glad. She was hungry for the Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner Ruth's papa called her. "You were a naughty girl," said he. You did not sit still." Then he looked at her. She was fast asleep in his lap. She had not heard what he had said. By and by Ruth awoke. Her papa had a string of beads. They were beautiful gold beads. There were flowers on them. 66 You see these gold beads," said he. "I will give them to you if you will be good in church. You must sit very still and make no noise. Then you shall have the beads." |
