It was getting near school time. Little Joe hurried through his breakfast. He was really too excited to eat. When Carl picked up his Bible to read he said, “It won’t be long now.”
“But we have to pray,” said Nancy.
“Oh, I mean it won’t be long till I can read too,” said little Joe. A little later Joe was running to the car. Soon he scrambled up the steps of the school with his mother.
“Today I get registered,” he said, “Today I get registered for school.”
“And why are you anxious to go to school?” asked the teacher.
“Oh, I want to learn to read the Bible,” answered little Joe.
