TOM THE CHIMNEY SWEEP

Tom had got lost among the chimneys of a large house and came down in the wrong room. It was a beautifulroom, all done in white. The walls were white, the curtains were white, and the furniture was white. The carpethad a pattern of gay flowers on it and there were pictures on the wall. There were pictures of ladies andgentlemen and there were pictures of horses and dogs.

The next thing he saw was a large bathtub full of clean water, and soap, and brushes, and towels. ‘She must be avery dirty lady to want so much scrubbing!’ thought Tom, who had realized that the room belonged to a lady.

And then, he turned towards the bed and gasped. Under the snow-white coverlet, upon a snow-white pillow, laythe most beautiful girl that tom had ever seen. Her cheeks were very white, and her hair was like threads of goldspread all over the pillow. Tom wondered if she were a real, live girl or one of the wax dolls he had seen in theshops. But when he saw her breathe, he made up his mind the she was alive and stood staring at her as if shewere an angel from heaven.

Looking around, he suddenly saw a little ugly, black, ragged figure with grinning white teeth. He turned on itangrily. What was such a horribly black ape doing in such a sweet lady’s room? Suddenly, he realized that hewas looking at himself in great, big mirror. For the first time in his life, tom found out that he was dirty, and heburst into tears of shame and anger.
