"Tomorrow is Jack's birthday and I don't know what to buy him," said Jill.

"Does he like books?" asked Phil.

"He reads all the time," answered Jill.

"Then why don't you buy him a nice book for his birthday?" asked Phil.

"I'd love to, but I have only thirty-five cents to spend, and I couldn't get a nice enough book for that. He likes lots of pictures--colored ones, too."

"I know the very book you want," said Phil, all excitement. "It's called 'Arabian Nights Stories,' by Mrs. Stuart. You know her, don't you? She's the one who wrote 'Winkie Bunny-Tail' and all the rest of the Bunny-Tail Series."

"Goody, goody!" said Jill. "Just to think what a lovely birthday present it will make, and for only thirty-five cents!"
