"Tomorrow's Mum 1 s birthday and I haven't enough money saved to buy her a pretl'ent - whatever shall I do ? 11 Cl!ona did not tell her Mummy anything. · Just in case something might turn up. And when her ~ sent her out to post a letter later, something DID turn up~ · She found a purse lying by the roadside and it was full of silver. Now she could buy a nice birthday . present for her mummy! She could easily take some money from it and say she didn't, or eVen keep all the money and throw away the purse. It was the Devil at work, putting these bad thoughts into her mind, but Clfona vas a good honest girl and the Devil had no power over her. She knew_that . it was wrong to steal. "I think this purse belonge to old Mary, she passed this way today," exclaimed Clfona. "I must take it to her at once!" She went to the Post Office, got the stamp, posted the letter, ~hen ·set off happily to old Mary's. ·.

"Thank you very much! lo!.ary, you are very kind," r eplied Clfona. In no time at all she had tea and a plate of beautiful hot saones(llhi~h ~!Jhe had just baked) ready and Clfona really enjoyed i t. "How is your 1-lwnrny and Daddy getting along?J' asked old Mary. _"Very well," replied Cliona, "Hummy 1 s birth- . day is tomorrow, and I l!llst buy her a present, thoug~ I haven ' t much money saved. " "What was that I heard, your Hununy 1 s birthday?" quizzed the old WO!Jlan who sometimes was a li-ttle deaf. "Yes, it's tomorrow," said Clfona "I must get her a present, something ni.ce , but not dear~" ' 11 I know your Hummy well. When I had the flu she atte~ed to me," sai<,i old Mary. "I always wondered how I'd pay her back and now I know h0\il 11 Clfona did not really 'understand .what old Mary meant, until sh': was leaving.

When she arrived home she entered by the back door and left the pot plant safely in her owp bedroom, wfthout her Mummy noticing, as she was in one of the other rooms at the time.
