A Little Maid Learning Her Letters

“What are you studying, my little maid?” “I’m learning to read in a book,” she said. “And what is your favorite word?” said I. Then the little maiden made reply, “Big A is the nicest word I know.” And when I asked why she thought it so, She gravely answered (the sly little tot), “Because big A is as far as I’ve got!” —St. Nicholas.
