The Brundidge Sisters
J. Arthur Goodwin

Sarah Brundidge was a milk girl.  She went door to door with a bucket and collected your milk.  If you didn’t give her your milk she’d take a picture of you and change it so you were doing different things.

One interesting day Sarah became sick.  The fever was almost too much.  She drank hot water and wore an iron mouth.  Her father was a king and he said she should just rest and not worry about it.  She stayed in her bedroom writing notes to Joe the Cricket.  Joe played the flute and performed at wooden houses because he was born in a wooden house and he didn’t want the change.  He walked in a strange way that later became popular.  He slept under the Yorktown Bridge and made animals out of smoke.  He never wrote back to Sarah because she was a Lerner child.  Lerner children were taught to use sticks to cook food.

Sarah had a sister – Mary Brundidge.  Mary took care of Sarah.  She bought her sister a copy of Flower Magazine.  Flower Magazine is a famous magazine.
