The Little Dustbin Girl from London
Hilary
Benson lives in a dustbin in London, and there are
three beautiful trees in her garden. A
nut tree, an apple tree and a money
tree. And, Hilary Benson's garden shed is full of
apples and nuts. But, sadly no money.
.
A
little sparrow comes every day and steals
all the money. He then takes it to Dublin and buys apples and nuts.
And, what does he do with the apples and nuts? He wraps them
up in nice paper and sends them
to Hilary for Christmas.
.
What
a nice little Sparrow!
