"
No sooner said than done. In five minutes George and Mrs. Green had said
good-bye and were crossing the common in the direction of their own
home.
"What a happy day it has been, mamma," said our little friend, "and how
glad I am I have such a nice birthday present;" and he bent down to take
a peep through the wicker-work of the basket.
"And I am so glad, dear boy, that you have enjoyed your treat," replied
his mother. "May you see many happy, returns of this day; and may each
succeeding year find you wiser and happier."
Here ends the story of Georgie's Present; but, as I think my young
readers may like to know how the Newfoundland pup turned out, I will
just tell them that he is now a full-grown, handsome young dog,--the
great favourite and inseparable companion of my friend George, who
assured me, not long ago, that of all his possessions there is none he
prizes more highly than Newfy.
