II was chicken soup this morning |
can see that my father is very proud
Of the way he can cook lie sets the
can OF soup IN a kettle OF water and
sets that on the stove and when the
water boilS the soup is done, and then
he opens the can and pours 1t out and
all we have to do is to eat It, guess
II he was not night watchman in bank
he could get a job as cook down at the
big hotel maybe, and then me and
Rowdy could have a room together way
up high and could look down at all
the people on the sidewalk about as big
as ants. and on the ottoes about as big
and as crawly as mud turkles. guess
! will speak to my father about it, for
It would be fine to be away up there
and drop things on the people you
do not like. But he likes his job
at the bank too well to leave it, and
whatever my father likes is all right
with me, for he is my own true daddy
forever and forever

and | started to turn the corpcr to 60

say, Gee, amt we done with that mutt

grammar But just kept going and
when we got there the front door was
open and Nellie was wrapping up some
bread in a piece OF newspaper for her
lunch She Just looked at me and
stuck out my tongue at her, because
did not know how she might act Then
she grinned and | smiled and said

She is not up yet. She has got ad-
heeslons and mustn't get up so my
father gets the breakfast" So then me
and Nellie went to school and | lcit
her for minute to run up to the prin-
cipals office and adhesion is when
anything sticks TO anything else
NeIlie'S mother was sticking TO a ham
bone last night and this morning she
was sticking to her bed. She had got
adhecSions bad
When school let out me and Rowdy
