Betsy And Billy
“The Present That Betsy Wanted One day in December Mother took Betsy into the big city. Betsy loved to go to the city, especially when Mother took her on the train.
On this particular day Betsy was delighted because Mother was taking her to see the Christmas toys and to buy her Christmas presents. Betsy had her own money in her little pocket-book.
When they got off the train, Betsy and her mother walked along a wide street. The street was crowded with people. Betsy thought she had never seen so many people before. Everyone seemed to be in a great hurry.
When they came to the corner, Betsy saw a man dressed as Santa Claus. He was ringing a bell and he had a little iron kettle on a stand beside him. Betsy saw a little boy stop and put something in the kettle.
"Mother," said Betsy, "why is the Santa Claus man ringing a bell?" "He is collecting money to buy Christmas dinners for all of the poor children in the city," replied Mother.
"Can I put some money in the little kettle?" asked Betsy....
"Yes," answered Mother, as she opened her pocketbook.MoreLess
