How Things Started
Once upon a time there was a boy——
Just like me.
He had to stay in bed in the morning until seven o’clock until his family was ready to get up.
So did I.
As he was always awake long before this time, he used to lie there and think about all sorts of curious things.
So did I.
One thing he used to wonder was this:
What would the world be like if there were——
No fathers and mothers,
No uncles and aunts,
No cousins or other children to play with,
No people at all, except himself in the whole world!
Perhaps you have wondered the same thing.
So did I.
