SEEN ALONG THE

Boys Will Be Boys
It was Sunday afternoon. Although
we had our usual crowd of kids, the
afternoon had so far proved rather
dull. We just couldn't seem to get
going. It was dizzling rain. That kept
us under cover. What we liked was
to roam and romp the hills and vales.
Then- the stone hills of the Dutch
Fork never failed to fascinate us.
But to confine us to the barn bored
us.
Soon we had an idea. One of the
boys had a spool of thread in his
pocket. We cut a notch in a grain
of corn, tied the thread to it, and
threw it to some chickens that w'ere
seeking refuge from the rain under
the shed too. Just as one swallowed
:t. we gave the string a quick jerk,
and out came the grain of corn. Then
another one ran and got it, and so
on. |
There was aa old rooster in there
that always beat us to the plump
mulberries when they fell from our
