Author Description

The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Over the hedge we could see our master's house, which stood by the roadside. In the day I ran by my mother's side and at night I lay down beside her. Our master was a good, kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children. We were all very fond of him.
