The Summer Holidays: A Story for Children


Read by Maria Abrenica

Mr. Harvey's two sons Thomas and John were very anxious for their cousin Samuel Reed to spend the August holidays with them. The boys had not seen each other since New Year's Day, and Mr. Harvey said that they might go to see an old man who was so sickly that he could not work. This old man's name was Hall, and the boys of the school called him Daddy Hall. He had once been rich; but sickness and misfortune had reduced him to poverty, so that he now lived with his little son, in a small hut, near a hill. (Summary by Maria Abrenica) (1 hr 0 min)
