Matthew is a clever boy,but he does not like working hard.Instead,he likes finding short cuts and thinking up ways to make life easy!
For instance,one day,he was out with his little sister.she wanted a ride on the sledge,but Matthew was not going to pull her along.Oh,no!He wanted a ride,too!So,he threaded a long card through the collar of Mowgli,his next-door neighbor's dog,who he was supposed to be taking for a walk....
To keep Mowgli still,Matthew gave him a whole bag of popcorn which his mother had maid.
"Now,let's go!"he told the big dog,pleased when Mowgli started off at quite a pace.
All went well when they kept in a straight line-but at the first bend....
Disaster!The cord broke and Matthew and his sister were thrown to the ground.
Poor Mathew!He was the one who had to pull the
sledge and his sister all the way home,after all-not Mowgli!
