A young woman one night was asked by an acquaintance about her four-year-old daughter at home. The mother took from her purse a small picture of the little girl, which the friend looked at with interest, and then remarked: "That child should have a musical education. It would be to her a book of gold with notes of silver for her, in it."

Surprised by her friend's seriousness, the mother thought again and again of the suggestion. When she got home the little girl was asleep, but the child awoke next morning, sat up in bed, turned the pillow over and searched among the covers. She then climbed out of bed and went to the dresser where she moved the articles about, hunting something. Her mother asked her what she was looking for.

"I want the book of gold with something in it for me."
