What39。s the matter, my dear? asked her mother, drawing her to her side and smiling. All our class must hand in positions tomorrow. We must write 12 lines at least. But I can never write one. I39。ll have to go to school without a position, for I won39。t copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me. That39。s right, said her mother. You39。ll be happier with a poor position, if it39。s your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. But cheer up. Run into the garden and play. I39。ll call you in half an hour. Don39。t think about your position now. Just have a good time. It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her. She went into the house immediately — her hands full of sweet flowers, and her face red with exercise. Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil, and write something about what she could see. Never mind your position。 do this to please me, and we39。ll talk about that later. Although Susie thought her mother39。s request was strange, she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did. So she did as her mother requested. As she looked out, she first saw the western sky and some bright, sunset clouds. Oh, mother, what a sunset! Don39。t talk. Just write. The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible position! Just as she had reached the bottom of the page, her mother came in and said with a smile, Well, Susie, how does that position e on? Composition! You told me not to think about it, and I39。ve never thought of it once. I39。ve had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window. Mrs. Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written. She said, There, Susie, that39。s a very nice position, really. A position! Is that a position? Susie asked in surprise. Yes, my dear, and a very good one, too, if we find a title for it, replied her mother. Then she added, I39。m sure it will please your teacher, as it does me.
