Frank Hanes had went sumwhere when i
went up to his house. then i went up to the Chadwicks

i went home and found that Potter Goram and Chick
Chickering had come down with there butterfli nets
to get me to go and get sum lait buterflise. i tell

wasent there and then up to the grove and they
wasent there. then i went home feeling prety
loansum.

well there wasent ennything to do for fun so i
split sum wood and then mother asted me if i wood
screw sum things up in the kitchen to hang close on.
so i got the screw driver and went to wirk. while i
was wirking Pewt came over. i was awful glad to
see Pewt but i thougt he had acked kind of meen to

thougt i would punish him a litle befoar i maid up.
so i said hi Pewt and went on with my wirk. Pewt
sed what are you doing Plupy and i sed saying my
prairs before going to bed. then Pewt sed huh and
kept quiet and i went on wirking and wisling as if

and drive the screw in a little way it will taik
