The Water-buffalo ChildrenA little American girl, living in China, has been reading about Aladdin and wishes she could make something appear by magic. She picks up a stone and rubs it and suddenly a water buffalo sticks his head out of the tall grass. Riding him are Farmer Ching's children, who insist that, stone or not, they had been coming anyhow. |
