THE TWO GOATS. 



Toby had a brown and white goat, of which he was very fond. 

 He had a little cart also, and used to drive out with his goat. 

 Tommy was Toby's playmate, and lived not far away. He liked 

 very much to ride after Toby's goat. 



Tommy's birthday came in December, and what do you think his 

 papa gave him for a present? Why, another little goat; only this

one was all white, and had black horns. It was called Snowball. 

 Tommy was very happy, and thought he would go at once and 

 make a call on Toby. There was snow upon the ground, and so 

 Tommy harnessed Snowball to his little red sled. He set out iu 

 fine style. Oh, how proud he was of his handsome team! 



As Tommy turned the corner he saw Toby coming in his goat- 

 cart. Toby shouted with surprise when he saw Tommy's goat.
