    Little Willies sister have been very naughty and her mother declared that instead of punishing the child she would just get a good little girl in her place.
    But the daughter was not in the least upset.
    "You couldn't," she laughed. Her mother was surprised and asked the reason.
    "Because," explained the little girl wisely, "nobody would be silly enough to give you a good girl in exchange for a bad one."
