Now, children. said she, "has anyone of you ever made someone else glad?"
Please, teacher, said a small boy, "I've made someone glad yesterday." "Well done. Who was that?"
My granny2.
Good boy. Now tell us how you made your grandmother glad.
Please, teacher, I went to see her yesterday, and stayed with her for three hours. Then I said to her, ‘Granny, I'm going home, 'and she said, ‘Well, I'm glad'!
