THE three most important
i events in my life are: the
first Thanksgiving I remember;
the first time I MIXED a cow and
my first day at school. One
Thanksgiving when I was small
we had all our relatives come to
our house. What fun we chill
dren had playingl But the din
ner was the best of all, with the
big turkey in the center of the
table. When our turn came to
cat I am sure we did justice to
his highness, the turkey. After
supper the aunts and uncles be-
gan to go home. One Of my
aunts invited me to go home
with her. / think this was the
best Thanksgiving [ ever spent.
One time when visiting on a
farm I decided to learn to milk.
So I took pail and set out for
the barn. I found a gentle cow
and sat down at one side Of her.
I had only little milk in my
pail when the cow gave a kick
and I went sprawling on tho
floor. By the time I was on my
feet T had decided never to be a
milkmaid.
When I was five years old I
begged to 60 to school. Mama
finally consented and I set off.
The teacher gave me seat with
another girl. After school had
begun the teacher laid a slate
on my desk. I tried to read the
