Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Nature Reader, Vol. 1: Autumn But the brave little girls did not give up, though they Often had to sit down to rest. They watched the fish in the brook, and the squirrels, and the birds. They wished that there were flowers to pick on the bare Sides of the hill. After a while, it grew very dark; but then the kind moon came out to Show them the way. At last, they reached the top of the hill, and there at the gate stood the little old lady, looking more cross than ever. The little girls were very much frightened, and stayed close together. Finally, one of them said, Please, we thought you could tell us something to do to make every one happy. But we want always to stay together, and we are very tired. Then the people say that the cross Old lady was seen to smile in the moonlight, as she opened the gate for the Children. The two little girls were never seen again at the foot of the hill. But the next morning, all over the hillside, the people saw growing beauti ful waving golden-rod and purple asters. And I have heard it said that these two bright flowers, which always grow together, could tell the secret, if they would, of what became of the two little girls on that moonlight summer night.
