day since / was sitting there.
I follow the road for a quarter of a
mile to the north past the spot where
the old schoolhouse stood before the
new one was built. I stop on the old
wooden bridge that crosses the tiny
stream flowing through the valley and
watch the fishes playing below in the
water. Just beyond Is the old SWIM
ming hole, shorter and shallower than
1t seemed when l was q boy.
The Iron Bridge Is a half mile far
Their on-I am asleep usually before I
get there.
