There was once a child who was untidy. He left his books on the floor, and his muddy shoes on the table; he put his fingers in the jam-pots, and spilled ink on his best pinafore; there was really no end to his untidiness. One day the Tidy Angel came into his nursery. "This will never do!" said the Angel. "This is really shocking. You must go out and stay with your brother while I set things to rights here." "I have no brother!" said the child. "Yes, you have!" said the Angel. "You may not know him, but he will know you. Go out in the garden and watch for him, and he will soon come."

The Pig Brother, and Other Fables and Stories is a children's book by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards. Excerpt: "children were set to reap in a wheat-field. The wheat was yellow as gold, the sun shone gloriously, and the butterflies flew hither and thither. Some of the children worked better, and some worse; but there was one who ran here and there after the butterflies that fluttered about his head, and sang as he ran. By and by evening came, and the Angel of the wheat-field called to the children and said, "Come now to the gate, and bring your sheaves with you."
