The Pet Lamb
Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last,
nothing was left but the pet lamb, Daisy. At the thought of parting with the little creature, Mrs
Grant's felt sad because the children loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make
up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any child to go for the butcher. Finally, she
went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained with the butcher for the
sale of Daisy.
While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door.
44 You see I am here fbr the lamb," said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to
her mother's side, and asked what was happening in alarm. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child
aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.
"That's my lamb now, Charlie!"said the butcher's boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy
with a rope in his hand.
“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours!" said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.
But the boy, pushing him aside, threw a rope round Daisy's neck, and began to drag the little
creature away. The poor lamb bleated very sadly. The cry of grief which fell upon the mother's
ears was too much for her, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes,
the children were all around their mother with voices choking with sobs fbr their little pet.
“Pray tell your boy to stop a moment," she said in husky tones to the butcher.
The boy , at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb , and the little creature stopped
its bleating.
In a trembling voice, Mrs.Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father
died. She also added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she
could buy her children bread to eat.
