So she sat in her chair and sewed while Minnie swept the floor HAPPY HOLIDAYS LABOR DAY DUST UNDER THE RUG1 MAUD LINDSAY THERE was once a mother who had twolittle daughters; and, as her husband wasdead and she was very poor, she worked diligentlyall the time that they might be well fed andclothed. She was a skilled worker, and foundwork to do away from home, but her two littlegirls were so good and so helpful that they kepther house as neat and as bright as a new pin. One of the little girls was lame, and could not runabout the house; so she sat still in her chair andsewed, while Minnie, the sister, washed the dishes,swept the floor, and made the home beautiful. Their home was on the edge of a great forest;and after their tasks were finished the little girlswould sit at the window and watch the tall treesas they bent in the wind, until it would seem asthough the trees were real persons, nodding andbending and bowing to each other. 1 From Mother Stories by Maud Lindsay.
