coidd tell how old a tree is. the mother
replied "ipv ecninling the rings on the.
inside ot a tree.’' One ol the children
asked. “Do we have rings around us?”
‘A e.-tt." was her answer.
“In .some count rie.''. people ehooNC to
wear their ring^ in their ears, no-'-'C, arms,

rings on their fuigers.’’
