Excerpt from Happy Holidays
Here was once a mother who had two little daughters; and, as her husband was dead and she was very poor, she worked diligently all the time that they might be well fed and clothed. She was a skilled worker, and found work to do away from home, but her two little girls were so good and SO helpful that they kept her house as neat and as bright as a new pin. One of the little girls was lame, and could not run about the house; so she sat still in her chair and sewed, while Minnie, the sister, washed the dishes, swept the ¿oor, and made the home beautiful. Their home was on the edge of a great forest; and after their tasks were finished the little girls would Sit at the window and watch the tall trees as they bent in the wind, until it would seem as though the trees were real persons, nodding and bending and bowing to each other.
