If you are tempted to trust too much to your brightness, remember the animals who made fun of the inch-worm. If you are dull, remember the inch-worm, take courage, and plod away. You will get there sometime. I want to tell you to-day of one of the bravest deeds ever done by a boy. It happened this way.
At that time, a small grub called the inch-worm had the disagreeable habit of breeding in the bark, climbing up the boughs and stripping them of every leaf. Thus it was in the orchards, gardens, and parks in many States of the Union.
The green inch-worm began to bore its way out of the sand; it could hear Toadie Todson groaning and saying: "O! O! I wish I'd never been so lazy. I might have lived an' been as happy and rich as the Bee or the Ant. And the green inch-worm knew that Toadie Todson was dead. Not more than six hours after this Mrs. Cricky overheard the green inch-worm practising a tune.
It was all to no avail, however, and they gave up in discouragement, and were about to leave the boys to perish, when the inch-worm came along and offered her services. The animals laughed her to scorn. What could she do, with her snail-pace, when they all, who were so fleet of foot, had to give it up! But she would not be laughed out of her purpose, and she began to climb up the cliff.
