Timmy almost burst as
Christmas drew nearer and
nearer and the pile of hidden
presents grew taller and tall
er.
One day, when he just could
not stand It any longer, he tip
toed Into the dining room, and
peered at a lovely lumpy bun
dle hidden behind the china
closet. Surely it would hurt
to tear off the tiniest, minute
corner! He was positive it was
his own anyway, because Daddy
had winked so mysteriously
when Timmy happened to meet
him carrying this same package
in the back door, one night. Oh,
it certainly could not hurt to
peek at his very own present!
Timmy had his fingers on
the package, when suddenly, he
decided that it would hurt! It
would hurt a lot. He would spoil
his fun at Christmas time, and
he'd spoil his parents’ too, be
cause he'd have to pretend to
be surprised. Of course his
parents would realize that he
was not surprised at all.
Timmy marched firmly out of
the room. And a few minutes
later, what do you think? There
was a little tinkling crash in
the dining room, and when Tim
my ran back, his mother was
pulling that very same pack
age away from his dog. Pal!
“Pal, you are a naughty dog
to peek!” his mother scolded.
Pal’s teeth had torn the pa
per, and Timmy saw that the
present was a toy bell for his
sister, Mary, If Timmy had
peeked when he wanted to, the
jingling bells would have called
everyone In the house to see
what he’d done!
The moral Is that you sopho
mores should not spoil your
Christmas by letting your curi
osities get the best of you!
