Strange Little Duckbill.
GOOD-NIGHT
OUR LESSON.—For May 3.
A bustling Wednesday afternoon in a sunlit sitting room turns into a lesson in generosity. A group of ladies gathers around a quilting frame, stitching a warm, striped comforter for a missionary braving the harsh winters of the North Dakota frontier. Little Ruth, eager to prove herself, scurries beneath the frame, threads needle after needle with deft precision, and watches the delicate white tufts fill the fabric. Her pride in the finished piece offers a quiet glimpse of how small, sincere actions can stitch a community together.
The same issue also carries a dreamy tribute to the Sandman, whose gentle sands usher restless children into sweet slumber, and a hopeful tale of a boy named Teddy who receives a long‑desired cart from his grandfather. The gift comes with a simple promise—to enjoy it fully and to share that joy with others. As Teddy explores the streets with his new cart, the story hints at the unfolding challenge of turning personal delight into something that brightens someone else’s day.
