Miss Clark wanted us to write compositions about it, so Anna wrote. About eleven o'clock we went out to see if it had come yet, but it had n't come yet. So we waited awhile and then looked again and it had come and there was a piece of it cut out of it. Miss Clark said it was a very good description and she knew Anna wrote it all herself.
