Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

Here's my
pictures to cut. Here's my lesson to learn. There's my sky and bird
crumbs. Mickey, sometimes they hop right in on the sheet. Yest'day one
tried to get my lunch. Ain't they sassy?"
"Yes," said Mickey. "They fight worse than rich folks. I don't know why
the Almighty pays attention if they fall."
"Mebby nobody else cares," said Peaches, "and He feels obliged to 'cause
He made 'em."
"Gee! You say the funniest things, kid," laughed Mickey as he digested the
idea. "Wonder if He cares for us 'cause He made us."
"Mebby he didn't make us," suggested Peaches.
"Well we got one consoling thing," said Mickey. "If He made any of them,
He made us, and if He didn't make us, He didn't none of them, 'cause
everybody comes in and goes out the same way; She said so."
"Then of course it's so," agreed Peaches. "That gives us as good a chance
as anybody."
"Course it does if we got sense to take it," said Mickey. "We got to wake
up and make something of ourselves. Let me see if you know your lesson for
to-day yet.
