Excerpt from What Birds Have Done With MeHarry, almost sings the driver. Then the plow man shouts to him, Why the devil don't you keep those leaders in line? DO you think I'm marking out a circus ring? Straight to the ¿ag, There, that's better! And away they go. The small boy is in pursuit and will never forget that first furrow. The soft, cool earth at its bottom seemed to have a kiss and caress for his bare feet at every step. Round and round they go, the share Of the great plow, sharp as a knife, cutting Off roots bigger than his leg, just like they were cheese. But sometimes they are too big, and the driver goes frantic, and running along the line Of strain ing oxen, whipping, shouting, and swearing, he finds it no use, they have to leave that particular root. Sometimes the chain will get caught on a stump and the big plow will fairly jump out Of the ground, the plowman dropping the handles and dodging just like he was afraid Of it.The small boy whoops and shouts himself hoarse, feeling that he is taking part in the grand est game ever played On earth. They plowed six furrows around the great field by noon, and then turned the cattle out to graze with the yokes on, so they would not stray too far. Then they take Off the share Of the plow that they call the lay, and proceed to sharpen it by putting it in a furious fire until it is red hot, then, holding it with pinchers on a big piece Of iron, called an anvil.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
