THE NAUGHTY NYMPH

茶茶

There was once a nymph who liv ed in a deep pool. At first evory one loved her, for she used to rise out of her pool carly in the morn- ing, and visit all the houses round about. She would sweep the floors, light the fires, and do all kinds of little-jobs.

After a time, however, she be came very tired of helping people aud doing fairies work, and she thought how funny it would be to play tricks on the good people of the town. So she started hiding: things in places where no could find them and upsetting conti and ashes all over the floor.

one

The Queen of all the Nymphs was. very angry when she heard this and she made up her mind to punish the naughty nymph. So she went to the Sun and explained what she wanted. The Sun anid ho would do his best, and ask the Wind to help. So one morning the nymph was very surprised to find that her pool was not so deep as it had been the night before. Rising out of the water, she found that it was because the Sun was shining down on the pool and slowly dry- ing it up.

Please stop, Mr. Sun," she cri ed, "the water will soon be too shallow for me to swim in." But the Bun only smiled and continued to drink up the water. Presently the pool was gone, and only a mud- dy hollow remained to show whore it had been,

Then the wind came and blow with all his strength. The poor nymph was wafled about, and could do nothing to save herself, for she had always been accustomed to dive into her pool when the Wind was about.
