Merry Tales for Children: Best Stories of Humor for Boys and Girls

Paperback (Forgotten Books Jan. 20, 2018)
Excerpt from Merry Tales for Children: Best Stories of Humor for Boys and GirlsThen the expressman came and loaded all the family's furniture and dishes and pictures and trunks into his wagon. And Mother and Bob and Betty told Father good-bye, because he was going to join them at the new house just as soon as he could. They boarded the train, and it carried them a long way, and then they stopped at a very small, green town.Theirs was a tiny little home, set in a coun try lane that was far away from the town. NO one had lived in it for a long time, and the dusty windows looked like sleepy eyes, and the scraggly Vines, trying to grow over the lit tle front porch, made Bob think of a stray terrier that needed to have his hair cut. Grass and weeds grew up through the brick wall, and the gate hinge was broken. But the walls of the little home were of warm red brick, and there were swallows twittering under the eaves. The sun made a yellow carpet in the living room, and when the furniture came it fitted in just as if it had always lived there.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
