Original Composition by
a Fifth Grade Boy

One day while in London as sa t
wishing for something new to do,
thought would like to go to Germany.
Finding my friend with less TO do than
myself we decided to start at once.
After pleasant trip across the North
Sea we soon found ourselves entering
the beautiful Elbe river and coming
into the seaport Of Hamburg. Soon we
were on German soil.
After a short rest we started out to
learn what we could of this country.
People were hurrying here and there
which showed US that they were active
and hard working
In every village that we visited we

saw clean children, clean people, and
tire soldiers uniforms were spotless.
All were very polite.
As we wandered over the beautiful
hills we soon found ourselves in a dense
dark forest. We now felt we were
close to the home of gnomes and fairies
which are talked of so much in all
German stories. And here were the
ruins of the old castles where brave
knights fought and endured hardships
in order to save beautiful princesses
from some enchantment.
One afternoon we drifted along a
quiet stream and watched the women
working in the fields They were
digging and hoeing. If load was too
heavy for the poor old COW they would
help pull the cart. The men had to
drill and train to be soldiers. They had
to be ready to defend their country at
any time.
Beer drinking is drawback to the
country; the little money receiv for
their labor is much needed by the hard
working wives and their large families.
Gong farther inland we saw many OF
the early peasant costumes. Some of
these were costly, but all were very
quaint. The children are compelled to
go to school until they are fourteen
years of age
Free bath and free meals are supplied
when needed especially in the winter
months.
Toward evening we entered small
will ge and heard much laughter and
noise. We were welcomed by merry
crowd, and told they were having a
wedding celebration, as the daughter of
a rich farmer was to be married soon.
They were just ready for the feast, and
being hungry after our long walk, we

gladly accepted their invitation to
remain.
For this occasion they had prepared
fat COW, seven pigs, sevent+ en- calves,
two-hundred- twenty hens, two hundred
loaves cakes. three hundred-seventy
gallons Of beer, and a large quantity of
wine. The farmer was getting old, and
so he gave his daughter the farm, and,
as is the custom, she would care for her
old father and mother as long as they
lived.
Early the next morning, we took the
train to Berlin. Here there are many
fine theatres, museums, and famous
school While visiting the beautiful.
