Why He Loved Her

By Fanny Sage Stone

“I LOVE my Aunt Ella the best of all,” Whispered six-year-old Harold to me. “Why do you love her?” I questioned him; “Oh, she’s never too busy, you see! ’Course, I love mother, and then I love you, And father, and all the rest; But really and truly, cross my heart, I love my Aunt Ella the best.”
Oh, the lessons we learn from the children’s lips! Harold’s words gave me thought for that day: To think that the busiest one of us all Was never too busy to play! Her manifold duties and burdens and cares (Essentially urgent to me), She could put all aside for this dear little boy— She was never too busy, you see. —Fanny Sage Stone.
