HANSON and Louie lived in a little town in southeastern Pennsylvania in the days when your fathers and moms were young men and young ladies. Hanson was thirteen, and, despite the fact that Louie was two years more youthful, she had dependably been a little mother to Hanson. Numerous restless feelings of dread pained this little sister, fears keeping in mind that her energetic sibling ought to end up badly at school through his adoration for the sake of entertainment and naughtiness. As she strolled next to him down the town road, she would state, "Now, Hanson, thee will be great and learn at school today, won't thee?" — all of which, Hanson, with a joyful twinkle in his eye, would steadfastly guarantee.
There is nothing so decent as a gathering when you are thirteen or eleven, and this little Quaker kid and young lady had made the most of their full share of daytime gatherings, where they played for the most part out-of-entryways at visually impaired man's buff, drop the hanky, Ruth and Jacob, or best of all, had the old mixture trunk loaded with wheat, in which were concealed puzzling little blessings to be angled out with a major spoon. Those gatherings had all been in the daytime, yet one evening the unforeseen happened. A note was left around Louie's work area welcoming her and Hanson to a night party. They were to begin at seven-thirty and drive in a major roughage wagon a few miles out into the nation to the home of two of their school companions. Everything sounded so new and intriguing! Why, they won't not return home until eleven o'clock! So Louie and Hanson ran joyously home to educate Father and Mother concerning it, albeit somewhere down in their souls snuck a dread for fear that maybe Father won't not endorse. Hanson took the drain bucket and went down to the glade where Bloom was quietly holding up at the bars, while Louie skipped into the house to declare the blissful news of the gathering.
A couple of minutes after the fact, Hanson gazed upward from his draining to see a miserable little figure coming gradually down the way. "Perk up, sister," he yelled, for young men of thirteen couldn't care less half such a great amount about gatherings as young ladies do!
"Yet, Hanson, Father doesn't need us to go to the gathering, and I would like to go, when all the others are going."
"What did Father say, Sister?"
"All things considered, he said something in regards to ten hours of rest and nine o'clock sleep time for developing young men and young ladies and that it isn't great business strategy to overdraw our wellbeing account any more than our ledger, and — "
"Presently, look here, Sister," interfered with Hanson, "I wouldn't cry about it, on the off chance that I were thee. I say, how about we go up to the house and talk it over with Father and Mother."
So up to the house they went, and, as they talked together, Father stated, "Assume we accomplish something else tonight. Maybe it may not appear to be so intriguing to you now as the gathering, yet I think it will give you all the more enduring joy. How might you want to compose a letter to some extraordinary man, asking how he invested his energy when he was your age? "
"Goodness, yes, that would intrigue," cried Louie. Hanson looked somewhat questionable about it.
"Yes, how about we keep in touch with John G. Whittier. Thee knows how we cherish 'Snow Bound,' Hanson, when Mother understands it to us by the fire on cold nighttimes. We should keep in touch with Whittier! I'll do it, if thee wouldn't like to."
So Louie sat down at the enormous walnut secretary and started:
A young lady of eleven presumes to address thee. For sake of myself and a sibling, two years my senior, I write to ask how thee invested thy relaxation energy when thee was our age. Any answer that thee longings to make will be particularly valued by two partners of "Snow Bound."
This occurred in the spring-time. Weeks passed by and Louie saw by the paper that her cherished Quaker writer was sick. At that point, one day in the early pre-winter, Father got back home, conveying in his grasp a letter tended to with purple ink in a lovely hand and stamped Amesbury, Mass. Louie could barely hold up until the letter was deliberately opened. At that point she read:
AMESBURY, MASS., 9mo. 17, 1881.
MY DEAR Youthful Companion:
I think at the time of which thy note asks I found about equivalent fulfillment in an old rustic home, with the moving scene of the seasons, in perusing the few books inside my compass, and longing for something awesome and excellent some place later on. Neither change nor misfortune had then made me understand the vulnerability of every single natural thing. I felt secure in my mom's adoration, and longed for losing nothing and increasing much. Thinking back now, my central fulfillment is, that I adored and complied with my folks, and attempted to make them upbeat by trying to be great. I had around then an extremely incredible hunger for information and little intends to delight it. The magnificence of outward nature early awed me. Furthermore, the good and profound excellence of the heavenly lives I read of in the Book of scriptures and other great books additionally influenced me with my very own feeling missing the mark and aching for a superior state.
With each great wish for thee, I am,
