Russell Loved His Enemy

[For children]

ARTHUR HAMPTON CRAWFORD

A boy at Russell's school was a very rough fighter. His name was Ivan, and he had been at school much longer than Russell.

One day Russell took something very special to school. It was a bright red car, which fitted snugly into his hand. It had its name "Fire Chief" on its bonnet. As soon as he and his father spotted it in a shop a few days before, Russell knew that it was just what he had always wanted.

At playtime Ivan noticed the little Fire Chief and walked up to Russell. "I'll punch you if you don't, give it to me," Ivan threatened. Russell thought he had better give it up. He hoped that Ivan would put it down or, perhaps, bring it back to him later. But when home-time came, Ivan still had it.
