nd had a dentist pull a tooth whitch was in
his stomack when it dident aik but his stomack did.
if i was a bullfrog i shood like to know them things.
but i aint a bullfrog and i shant have enny teeth in
my stomack unless when i am old and have false
teeth i swalow them when i am aslep as old man
Collins did onct.

tonite we had company. Aunt Mary and Charles
and Helen and Cad Smith and Steve and Ann Maria
Piper and Annie Piper, and so i coodent go out
after supper but had to stay in and hear Keene and
Cele sing. i can hear them enny day and i had
agreed to go out with Pewt and Beany and try to
brake sum of J. Albert Clarks windows to pay for
telling father when i let out his rooster to fite mine
and mine licked his. if his had licked mine old J.
Albert woodent have yipped. i dont blaim him for
being mad becaus i let them fite when he wasent
there to see and becaus mine licked but no feller that
is a real feller will go tattle taleing to a fellers father
and get him kep in the yard a hoal day. if he
had given me a bat in the ear or had hit me a paist
with his cain i woodent have caired but a feller that
tells on another has got sumthing to learn and that
is what the Terible 3 is for. to lern fellers to behave.

so i coodent go out and Pewt and Beany sed they
wood try to do it without me. they sed they wood
go up to Pewts yard again and wood try sum grean
apples on a stick and aim more to the rite than they
did when they broak old J. Ward Levitts windows
whitch the stewdcats paid for brakeing. so i kep
my ey pealed becaus J. Albert lives in the other side
of our house and i gnew if ennyone broak his winders
old J. Albert wood come piling in to tell father
it was me and father cood tell him he was a dam
lier becaus i wood be there with father all the time
and father wood know i hadent went out for a
minit.

so i set in the parlor and father told the story
about the feller whitch got the long hair in his
mouth and lots of stories that maid us nearly kill
ourselfs laffing. then Cele and Keene sung flow
gently sweet Afton and pass under the road and
we shall meat but we shall miss him and my mother
bids me bang my hair and then father maid me sing
alone. i hait to sing alone. i cood have sung with
Keene but he maid me sing alone. i sed what shall
i sing and he sed sing ennything. so i sung a new
virse of if ever i ceese to love. it goes this way

if ever i ceese to love
if ever i ceese to love
