Then be told them a {mrablc. Our Saviour, when be Wan oo earth, often taught tho people by parables. The parable now told to tbe little boys was of a kind man who bad some very uioe apples hanging upon the tree. A poor man was passing by tbe house of the owner, and he stopped to admire {his beautiful apple-tree. He count ed the golden pippins. There were just terra ot them. The rich owuer could afford to give them away, and it gave him so much pleasure to make this poor uian happy that he called him, and said, “My friend, f will give you a part of my fruit.” Ho the man held out bis hand and received six of the apples. The owner had only kept one for hia own use. Do you think the poor man was grateful for this kindness f No, in deed ! He wanted tbe seven pippins all for himself; and st last he mode up his mind that be would watch his time, aud go back aud steal tbe other apple. “Did he do that 1* said Willie, very sorry. “He ought to been ashamed of himself! I bop© be got well punished for stealing that apple.” t ■ “How many days are there in the week, Willie r said his friend. “Haven," said Willie, blushing deep ly ; for now be began to mxlerstaud the parable, and be felt very uneasy.
