Hospital
Little Mary, who had fallen ill, begged for a kitten. It was found that
an operation was necessary for the child's cure, and that she must go
to the hospital. The mother promised that if she would be very brave
during this time of trial she should have the very finest kitten to be
found.
As Mary was coming out from the influence of the anesthetic, the nurse
heard her muttering, and stooping, heard these words:
"It's a bum way to get a cat."
