66. Let the Poison Bottle Tinkle


A wise house mother with half a dozen
little folk needing all sorts of medicines and medical applications, has

purchased in a toy shop a handful of little bells, and when a bottle

containing poison is added to the medicine closet it is adorned with a

bell tied around its neck with a narrow ribbon. No danger with the bottle

thus equipped of taking by mistake, in the dark, the dangerous medicine.

The moment the poison bottle is touched the little bell tinkles its

warning.
