She started to turn toward the door, red cane over her arm, when Alphonso grabbed her hand. She turned and looked at him, and then he did something totally unexpected. He turned his chair toward her and patted his lap. “Sit down, lady,” he said softly. Marge looked at him, then at his lap, then, with a delicate move for a large lady, she gently sat on the big man’s lap. He turned her face toward him to kiss her on the lips. First, they heard the tall, adjustable base of the over-priced chair crack loudly. Then they heard the four wheels splay flat out, then they heard their own laughter as they fell on top of each other onto the floor. A loud crash echoed through the big office as four hundred pounds of human beings and the big chair hit the floor. Alphonso laughed a deep, hearty laugh and then turned toward Marge whose sweat shirt had pulled up, showing her bra, and whose face was slowly turning red. Alphonso looked at that face, smiled, turned toward her and gave her a sweet, gentle kiss on the lips. Marge kissed him back. Way to go.

In today's world our kids are not getting the right family values as when in the 50's and 60's when your parents set values for you, but have been lost in this new world we live in with so much lost to others views of how our kids are to act in this new world. There is so much negative media, no moral values from schools. We cant control what the media displays, but we can teach our kids the right morals as they grow. In this illustrated book, there are 23 positive stories with illustrations that pertain to each story. It took me over a year to put this book together with four professional copywriters to put all this book together. My goal was to put together stories with positive stories that your child can learn from each one as they grow.23 Positive Stories:1: Mom and dad2: I want to be like my mom and dad3: My family4: Helping people5: Telling the truth and not gossip6: Saving money7: Cleaning responsibilities8: Doing chores9: keeping your room clean10: Doing homework11: Sharing is caring12: Eating your vegetables13: Taking responsibility for your own actions14: Doing things around the house without being told15: Being organized16: Personal hygiene17: Taking care of pets18: My mother takes care of me19: Table manners20: My fun-filled birthdays21: Reading is important22: Bedtime responsibilities23: Your parents are your best teachers as you growThis book should be read to all children because of the positive messages they have for a positive outcome as a child grows up. I would have loved to have had a positive book like this one when I was raising my kids. One thing I am very proud of, is my wife and I raised our kids in church, and this has helped my kids with raising their own kids. Kids need positive values from their parents and not from school and the media.

This was because Mr. Henry was always a great storyteller; he told the best stories. Mr. Henry always wore a sailor’s hat with a bright red shirt and baggy brown pants. He was really funny too. His house was very colorful; white with red and green trim with shutters of pink that made it the prettiest house of them all.As we all sat down around Mr. Henry on his front porch, one of the kids said, “Mr. Henry, what story are you going to tell us today?”Mr. Henry replied, “I think I'll tell the one about the man who wanted to buy some flowers for his daughter.”

Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years a Parson in the Wild West: Being the Experience of Parson Ralph RileyArk twain and other humorists have described to us the great half-civilized frontier of the West, but no one has ever before attempted to do so from the same standpoint our author does. To our mind this book throws much new light on life in the wild West as few other books do, for it tells the whole story honestly and in a most natural way, without giving it any religious coloring. It is full of fun and humor, because the parson saw much to laugh at. Like other frontier parsons, he no doubt saw much also to weep over, but this does not come within the province of the present volume.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Rab and His Friends and Other Dogs and MenI have, by the kindness of Dr. Cairns, appended my letter to him, which forms a supplementary chapter to his admirable Memoir of my father. I somehow wished it, lame and imperfect and wandering as it is, to be in these Hours. It is little else than an expansion, and often, I fear, a dilution of the noble passage, by the same friend and brother, which closes the Preface to the First Series. May my father's Master, and his, deal kindly with him, as he has dealt with the dead.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Journey into the Desert is an exciting voyage through the dramatically dry world of the Sonoran Desert in the Southwest of the United States. Filled with vibrant color photographs of desert life-including a lizard that squirts blood from its eyes, scorpions that glow in the dark, and a real-life monster with a venomous bite--each page is a daring exploration of grand natural wonders and amazing animal feats of survival. John Brown provides young travelers with wide-ranging information, including: · How to select equipment for the trip · Interesting animal adaptations, such as the ingenious water-storage techniques of the cactus and the clever hunting abilities of the vulture · Native American cliff dwellings, where people are thought to have lived for 1,000 years before suddenly disappearing · Environmental impact of pumping water into the desert or allowing housing developments in this delicate place An accessible introduction to a world of spectacular extremes, Journey into the Desert gives young people a deep sense of the desert and its many contrasts -- beauty and danger, ruggedness and fragility, hot and cold -- and a well-rounded knowledge of the unique species that survive there.

Excerpt from Slave Life in Georgia: A Narrative of the Life, Sufferings, and Escape of John Brown, a Fugitive Slave, Now in England Mr name is John Brown. How I came to take it, I will explain in due time. When in Slavery, I was called Fed. Why I was so named, I cannot tell. I never knew myself bv any other name, nor always by that; for it is common for slaves to answer to any name, as it may suit the humour of the master. I do not know how old I am, but think I may be any age between thirty tive and forty. I fancy I must be about thirty seven or eight; as nearly as I can guess. I was raised on Betty Moore's estate, in Southampton County, Virginia, about three miles from Jeru adlt'ill Court house and the little Nottoway river. \1 v mother belonged to Betty Moore. Her name was Nunm'; but she was called Nanny. My father's name was Joe. He was owned by a planter named Benford, who livetl at Northamp ton, in the same State. I believe my father and his family t'e bred on Bcnferd's plantation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I was bitten severely by a little dog when with my mother at Moffat Wells, being then three years of age, and I have remained "bitten" ever since in the matter of dogs. I remember that little dog... and were I allowed to search among the shades in the cynic Elysian fields, I could pick her out still. -from "Our Dogs" The 1858 short story "Rab and His Friends"-based on a true incident about a gray mastiff, Rab, and his relationship with an Edinburgh doctor and one of the doctor's patients-is considered one of the finest examples of Victorian melodrama. It is also beautifully portrays the extraordinary insight author John Brown had into the canine temperament; it and other essays included here on Brown's life with the faithful animals will enchant dog lovers. Also featured in this volume: Brown's renowned 1863 sketch, "Marjorie Fleming." Scottish physician and writer John Brown (1810-1882) is best known for his two volumes of essays, Horae Subsecivae (Leisure Hours) (1858, 1861).
