BY George Blevins, Aged 10 Years,
Shelby, Neb. Red Side.
About half the way was so hilly that
we were started up one hill before we
were down the last one. Then the road
turned in among buttes and bluffs which
seemed almost as large as little noun
tains. Later we came TO a plain, then
we thought our troubles had ended, as
we did not see any hills before us, but
we hardly had time to think before we
came to a mud hole or sort of a pond
which extended clear across the road
Ny father said 1t was not deep and
would be easily crossed. When we got
half way through this water the front
wheels skidded into the middle Of the
puddle and here we stuck. Nobody was
near to help. so my sister and l had to
take off our stockings and push the auto.
NV sister had on white Cress and
my good blue suit. We pushed when
papa told us to push, but the wheels
would turn SO fast that they would spat-
ter mud all over us. My sister came out
Of the puddle with a white and black
dress and our faces were covered with
black freckles instead Of brown ones.
With all our hill and mud experiences,
every one Of us enjoyed the trip very
much, and 1 wish all the Busy Bees
could have been along.
