Our Afternoon Hike One Thursday about three We children and Miss Lee. A hike to the country did go, Eastward a mile go, Under the trees by the roadside way, By Stunkle’s barn loaded with hay, The horses were in the pasture eating Theirg little goat stood by bleating. A freight train whistled: ‘from afar, Wagons passed us, 80 did cars, A big lumber wagon ‘by us passed We ran to get in, Oh! so fast, In we scrambled one and all, We all got in without a fall, He took us to the farm of Bill Ice Then we went home, the trip was so nice, Straight to Pete’s Cafe we did go, For a treat, we all enjoyed it so, Then straight to school we went Thinking the day had well been spent. We hope soon again another hike to take. Now please don’t forget for the kid dies sake. East, west, north, south, any way will do. But I hope, my wish will soon come true —Helen Lind.
