Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
' I suppose she was ill,' remarked a small girl after listening to Dorothy Edwards story, My Naughty Little Sister wasn't well,' 'because she fell in rhe water and got her knickers wet, her vest wet, her peoticoat and her dress wet.' ' The incident of rhe falling in the water had been told weeks before! ' wrote her mother, ' but imagine my surprise this week, when I took her to the doctor. After he had examined her and said what a good girl she was, she replied, " I know a story about a girl who didn't want the doctor, and the dootor showed her the thing for her throat! " '
W'ho shall say that our under fives have short memories? Or that they do not exercise their own youthful logic?
This story, and a new one about that little sister at school, will be told by Dorothy Smith on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Today and tomorrow comes Julia Lang with ' The Wooden Horse,' by Violet Statham , and ' Sheep in Snow,' by Doris Hann , while on Friday Daphne Oxenford tells Leila Berg 's ' The Tired Train.' Catherine Edwards introduces our stories and rhymes for the coming two weeks. Elizabeth A. Taylor
