The Goody-Naughty Book THE GOODY SIDE By SARAH CORY RIPPEY <hr class="major" /> <h3>HONOR BRIGHT, PRESIDENT</h3> When Honor Bright went to live in the country the very first thing he asked for was some real live geese, to join the chickens, and the pussy, and the rabbits already on the farm. "Will you remember to feed them every day, son, if I get you a pair?" asked his father. "Yes, papa," said the little boy. "Honor bright!" When he promised "Honor bright," he always kept his word. And he said "Honor bright" so many times a day that finally Honor Bright became his name. <div class="figcenter"> <ANTIMG src="images/gn06.jpg" alt="" title="" /> </div> "Quack, quack!" cried Mr. and Mrs. Goose the day Honor Bright's father brought them home. "What a fine place!" "Isn't it!" said Mother Hen. "And just wait till you know Honor Bright!" "Just wait!" echoed the Rabbit Gray family, and Mr. T. Cat. Honor Bright was as good as his word, and the geese grew fatter, and fatter, and fatter. "Good morning, Mr. T. Cat," cried Mr. and Mrs. Goose early one morning. "Had your breakfast?" "Of course," answered Mr. T. Cat; "Honor Bright always feeds me the very first thing." "You must be mistaken!" cried Mr. and Mrs, Goose. "Honor Bright always feeds us first." "But Honor Bright gives my children their breakfast very early!" cackled Mother Hen. "Well," squeaked Father Rabbit Gray, "we've all had breakfast; and that's the main thing. Now, let's make Honor Bright president, because he's so good. That's the way people do, you know." Just then Honor Bright came out. "Hail, President Honor Bright!" they all cried. Honor Bright thought they said, "I love you." And really, it meant the same thing. <div class="figcenter"> <ANTIMG src="images/gn07.jpg" alt="" title="" /> </div> <div class="figcenter"> <ANTIMG src="images/gn08.jpg" alt="Every day Rose-Red cut fresh flowers and arranged them for the house" title="" /> Every day Rose-Red cut fresh flowers and arranged them for the house</div> <hr class="major" /> <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
