<h2>THE DIRTY BOY.</h2>
<p>Here is a poor boy; he is
going to have a wash at
the pump. His clothes are all
torn and soiled, but he can keep
his face clean, and he will soon
be old enough to earn some
better clothes.</p>
<p>Some little boys who have
good clothes, and kind parents
to keep them clean, hate to be
washed. I have heard of a boy
who had to be hired to have his
face washed, and he would often
cry about it, as though it was a
dreadful thing. Children, to be
loved, should be nice and clean.</p>
