stay in the country. We have boys
guild in our church, and we all went
camping recently.
The first night / could not Sleep
The noises were so strange to me,
the singing of the whippoorwills and
humming insects. The cows had bells
on their necks, and the man in charge
OF us said the COWS were ringing up
their fares.
We used to take long walks, and
sometimes we would get a ride home
to the camp on coal wagon or on
the back of carriage. The farmers
were very nice; they often let us ride
with them. II was fine to run around,
climb trees with no one to chase you.
I gained eight pounds. How nice it
must be to live in the country all the
time! felt sorry to have to come
back to the city.
