WONG NING'S IDEAS

AS EXPRESSED BY HIMSELF.

My name is Wong Ning. I born on home China, come to this country when thirteen years old, and been here now seven year.

Little boy have very hard time on home China. Have to get up and go to school at six o'clock--very early that--come home, get breakfast at eight o'clock, and lunch at twelve o'clock; then stay till six o'clock in the day. I no think American boy like that!

I go to school at night, learn to read and write; I think English very hard. I been work for the Jew family, the Irish family, and the Spanish family. I think my English get too much funny--so many kinds of language. Now I work for the American family; like it more better.

I get one letter this morning. . Here the letter:

"Mr. Chily, you Please come to Kum Lee this evening to take dinder, because Lee chong go to home China this week. Ah Do and Ah Sing all come in to if soon as you can good by WONG VOO."

I know plenty stories about on home China. You ever hear about Kong foo-too?--American call him Confucius--he very great man.

One city he no came--that Canton--one very big place inside three big walls. Kong-foo-too, or Confucius, he come to Canton, and try to come in the gate--very big gate.

One little boy there seven years old. I think that little boy too smart. He making play of a little city, and building three little walls around it, all the same like Canton. He took up too much room, and talk too smart, so that Confucius cannot get in.
