Dinah is one of the most good-natured children that evernever.Je ne sais pas lived, but she is very, very lazy. There is nothinganything-Je ne sais pas she likes, or is usedused-Je ne sais pas to like, so much-manyJe ne sais pas as to curl up in some warm corner in the sun and do nothing.

Dinah's mother wished very much that her child should-wouldJe ne sais pas learn to read, but the lady who tried to teach her soon givesgivegaveJe ne sais pas it up. 'It is no use,' she said, 'Dinah will not learn. She waswereisJe ne sais pas not a stupid child, but she is too lazy for anything.'

It happened, soon after this that a young man oftofromJe ne sais pas Massachusetts came to the house where Dinah lived. He brought with him something no one else in the neighbourhood had ever seenever seenever seenJe ne sais pas before--a pair of roller-skates.

When Dinah saw the young man going rapidly up and down the piazza on herhistheirJe ne sais pas skates she was so astonisheastonishesastonishedJe ne sais pas she hardly knew what to think. She ran after him likeas-Je ne sais pas a cat, her black eyes shining as they had never shineshone-Je ne sais pas before.

One day the young man allowedallows-Je ne sais pas her to try on the skates. The child was toototwoJe ne sais pas happy for words. Of course she fell down, and sprawled overonaboutJe ne sais pas the floor, but did not mind at all. 'Look here, Dinah,' said the young man, 'I understand that my aunt has been tryingtrytriedJe ne sais pas to teach you to read.'

Dinah answered that she certainly hashadhaveJe ne sais pas.

'Why didn't you learn?' asksaskedaskJe ne sais pas the young man. 'You need not trouble to answer,' said he, 'it was just because you are too lazy. Now, if-whetherJe ne sais pas, on the first of January, you can read, I tell you what I will do. I will -sendsentJe ne sais pas you as good a pair of roller-skates as I can buy in Boston.'

How Dinah's eyes snapped. For atheanJe ne sais pas moment she said nothing, then exclaimed decidedly, ' I haveI'll haveI hadJe ne sais pas those skates, sure.'

And she did. When she bent her mind on her work she cancould-Je ne sais pas always do it well, no matter what it was.

The lady who had before this found her -such asuchJe ne sais pas difficult child to teach, now had no trouble. If Dinah showed the least sign of her former laziness the word SKATES! was enough for-toJe ne sais pas make her bend her mind on her lesson instantly.

On New Year's onthe-Je ne sais pas morning she received a box marked in large printed letters:
MISS DINAH MORRIS, /Care of Mrs. Lawrence Delaney, NEW ORLEANS, LA. If she can read whatwhichwhomJe ne sais pas is on the outside of this box she can have what is inside.

And as Dinah read every word plainly and quickly, of course she had -fortoJe ne sais pas her very own the fine roller-skates the box held. And now sitting curled up in the sun, doing nothing, wereiswasJe ne sais pas not the thing she likes to do best.
