Description

Excerpt from Chinese Fairy Stories Near the table stood the proud mother and father watching eagerly for the infant's first desires. The five Sisters, the grandparents, and the other relatives also waited near by. All were anxious to see which one of the many new playthings about him the child would seize on for his first toy. By this means, according to their belief, they could foretell his future. If he grasped the book or the pencil, doubtless he would become a famous scholar; if the counting frame, the scales, or the gold orna ments, a man of wealth if the knife, a warrior; if the fruit, a farmer. For a moment the little fellow looked up from his toys into the eager faces of those about him. He seemed to know that they were awaiting the result of his actions. Then with out further delay, stooping over, he stretched out his chubby arms and swept all Of the Objects Into a pile before him, as if by this movement claiming everything in sight.
