I admire your ambition! This selection comes from a book titled, "Life on the Mississippi" by Mark Twain. If you Google the title or go to your library you will be able to find a copy. Happy reading and have a great day!
I am completely starstruck right now! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to comment on this reading. I am an English teacher and was trying to find new material for my students to read this summer and I came across your beautiful story and knew instantly my students would love it as much as I did. I hope to teach it within the next couple of weeks and can't wait to show them that authors really do exist outside of the stories they write! Thank you again for writing such an engaging story and I look forward to teaching more of your works. Thank you!
@@teachpotential I salute you! And every teacher. I'm glad you found my story worthy of study . If your students have questions, I'd be happy to answer them. CF
This is random but I just wanted to say I read your short story as a kid and I always remembered it! It pops in my head now and again and I finally managed to find what it was called and who wrote it.
