was too young to understand them
About a month later 1 got out doors
one day and a spring chicken took me
for something good to eat and tried to
snap me up. Never was a little fellow
in greater peril The chicken was
coming on with her beak open to de-
YOUR me at one gulp and there was no
one TO hear my cries for help. l
sprang aside just as the chicken
thought she had me, and 10! an old
table fork with one rusty tine lay at
my feet. Picking this up for weapon.
l dashed forward and stabbed the
chicken in the breast and put her TO
flight. and mother found me just as 1
was marching up to the rooster 70 dare
him to battle. There were people who
said l was born TO be a warrior. but
my father only smiled at such talk. No
dwarf ever became famous general
or ever will.
I was years old. and was II inches
high and weighed pounds, when l
wandered away from the house one
day into a meadow. / was armed
with sword made out of Dasteboard
and had a paper cap on. That year
happened to be a great one for grass
hOppers, and I was suddenly surround
ed by 80 or 40 as fierce and savage
looking hoppers as one ever saw.
Young as 1 was, 1 knew that 1 could
not outrun them, and that I must
fight for my life if I would preserve
it, The hoppers surrounded me and
cut off all escape, and as I took a firm
grip on my sword they rushed for
ward to the attack. l do not wish to
boast of my bravery, but when 1 tell
you that l killed u of those savage
grasshoppers before they retreated you
will say that l fought desperately.
The hoppers did not give up with
enc attack They drew off to rest
themselves and collect a greater force.
and while they were doing this
sharpened my sword on the grass and
got ready for another struggle. When
they came again they were gnashing
their teeth and thirsting for blood, and
they came with such a rush that 1 was
knocked down. 1 was up in a second,
however, and laying about me as hard
as I could strike, and showing mercy
to no foe. I beat them off. and even
drove them across a creek. Then
counted up the dead hoppers, and
found q 2of them, and when father
come running he found me waving my
bloody sword and cheering over my
victory. II was indeed a great battle.
considering my size and youth, and
there were folks who remembered and
talked of ii long after I had left the
town and was meeting with other adj
ventures. l received four wounds in
the fight, but after three or four days
was out again, and as good as new.
My further adventures l will relate
to you another week
