Put these coins on strings and carry them around their necks. It
would take many such coins to make a dollar. [Illustration: Korean
Money.] There are farms
in Korea, where they grow
wheat, rice, rye, tobacco, cotton, watermelons, and many kinds of
fruit. If you were in Korea, you would think it the strangest country
in the world. They do many things very unlike the
way we do them. With us bright-colored things are worn by women. In
Korea the men
wear bright colors. They have a funny way of
selling eggs there. They place ten eggs end to end in a row, and put
straw around them. Then they tie strings around the straw between the
eggs. This is called a stick of eggs. When people go to buy eggs,

gates are shut, no one can get in or out until they are opened in the
morning. The people
show very great respect
for the king. When they go to speak to him they throw themselves down
on their
faces before
his throne. The people love their country very much. They think it is
the most beautiful country in the world. INDIA.

They go back again
at three to stay till evening. You will think that this is a long
time to be at school. [Illustration: Hindoo Children at School.] In
some of the schools they have no desks or chairs, but the boys and
girls sit
on the floor. In other schools they have long tables instead of
desks. They do not learn their letters as we do. The teachers write
