- My grandmother kept her cows far away from her house. One evening late she sent her son for them. He was a long time gone and she went after him to see what happened to him. When she reached the field she could not see any of them because the cows had got out on the road. But in a little while she saw him driving the cows home another way. She then started home across the fields. It was dark by this time. When she came to the road she was astray, she didn't know where she was and thought the road was a river. She wandered up and down and couldn't cross it, at last she saw the family coming to look for her, and not until one of the crossed the road towards her could she be convinced that it wasn't a river.Charles Carroll
