Ona pleasant New Year morning, Edward got up and dressed himself in a hurry. Hewanted to be the first to wish a happy New Year.

Helooked in every room, and shouted "Happy New Year" to every one ofhis family. Then he ran into the street to repeat it to those he met. When hecame back, his father gave him two new dollars. His face lighted up as he tookthem. He had wished for a long time to buy some nice books.

As he ran down the street with a light heart to the bookshop, he saw a poor German family—the father, mother and three children walking in the cold wind. "I wish you a happy New Year,' said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head. "You do not belong to this country?" asked Edward. The man shook his head again, because he could not understand or speak English. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, he seemed to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time."

Edwardquickly understood that these people were poor and in trouble. He took out hisdollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. They said somethingin their language, which meant, "Thank you very much, and we will remember youforever."
