  1. A Fairy Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time, there was a boy. He was only six or seven years of age. One night he was out playing with three or four other boys. He ran into this field and the others boys could not get him. They went home and told everybody. Everybody went out and looked for him, but could not find him. He was away from home for three days and three nights, and at the end of the time he was found at the cows head. The people found him when they were milking the cows, and asked him where he was. He said that he was out on Kinnego streets playing with the lovliest little people he ever saw and that they were very kind to him.
