Helen now thought thoy were old enough to drink milk out of a 

 saucer; but they did not like it. So she filled a spoon with milk; 

 then they lapped it up very nicely. After a while they learned to 

 drink out of a saucei', and sometimes Daisy and her three little 

 kittens would all drink out of the dish together. Helen gave her 

 kittens to three of her girl friends, but she still had Daisy left. 



One night Daisy wanted to get into the house. She went to 

 the front door and

 Daisy did not like music, and if Helen began to practise she 

 would jump on the piano and walk on the keys. Daisy is now ten 

 years old, and she has become very dignified. Helen is eighteen, 

 and is very handsome. She and Daisy think they are too old to 

 run races and frolic together. So Daisy lies down by the stove 

 and dreams of the time when she was young, and Helen reads and 

 studies and helps her mother.
