So, I’ve been wondering if there are not many boys like Billy who, also, like to know about things that are really so.
And so, I’ve written down a good many of the things Somebody and the boy named Billy talked about after the lights were out and the fireflies came, during that wonderful summer in the north woods.
Your very own,
New Year’s Day ... long ago
How the New Year knows when to come
THE boy named Billy had begged to be allowed to stay up to greet the New Year. He had something he wanted to ask him if he could only see him, but he presently got so sleepy that his eyes wouldn’t stay open and so off he went to bed and to sleep.
